They first met on a sweltering, humid summer day.
At the time, Ling Yue thought Yuan Xiao was an utterly ordinary girl who wouldn't stop pursuing him.
She was plain and had no personality. In short, she was not someone he would ever be interested in.
Years later, on an ordinary early morning, the streets were bleak and deserted.
In the stillness, Ling Yue saw those sincere, burning eyes again.
He had never had any hope for marriage, and he was fed up with his family's nagging. He thought that if he had to get married anyway, he might as well choose someone who truly loved him.
After they married, everything went just as he'd expected. Yuan Xiao was gentle, sensible, and considerate, and her whole heart and gaze were fixed on him.
Leaving feelings aside, Ling Yue was very satisfied with his wife.
Until one day, Yuan Xiao and Ling Yue accidentally transmigrated into a novel together, becoming a poor married couple in the story.
Ling Yue, a pampered young master who had never known what it meant to be poor, looked at the slum before him, his expression darkening.
At least his wife was still by his side.
After taking a few minutes to accept what had happened, Ling Yue calmly thought:
"With a good wife supporting my ambitions, I'll surely soar to the skies, and I... Wait, where did my wife go?"
Seeing his wife trying to flee at the last minute, Ling Yue tried to reason with her: "Xiaoxiao, you know what they say: When you have love, even water will fill your belly."
As Yuan Xiao hurriedly packed her bags, she replied, "Do you know what else they say? Poor couples have a hard time with everything."
Oh, and there's also this saying: Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly off separately!

Asked why they got married:
Ling Yue: She fell deeply in love with me. She loves me so much she'd die for me, and she can't live without me. So I married her.
Yuan Xiao: He's rich, he's busy, he's generous, and he isn't bad-looking. So I married him.
