Blurb One:
Zhou Xubai had been secretly in love with Lu Jiayan for years. He knew she didn’t have a boyfriend, so he wasn’t in a hurry and planned to take things slowly.
Then one day at lunchtime, while eating at a Hong Kong-style cafe, he happened to see Lu Jiayan on a blind date.
He looked calm on the outside, but inside he was panicking. That very day, he went to a matchmaker, paid her to set him up, and shamelessly tried to sell himself to his future wife.
Blurb Two:
On the day of his blind date, someone changed into three suits, seven ties, and ten pairs of cuff links in the walk-in closet. He spent ages preening in front of the mirror before finally heading out.
The old butler and the housekeeper witnessed the whole thing.
They saw their young master out, and once his black supercar had left the garden, Aunt Qin turned to the old butler. “Is the young master going on a blind date today?”
Uncle Fu: “That’s right.”
Aunt Qin: “Did you see him? He spent nearly half an hour in the closet, changed into three suits, seven ties, and ten pairs of cuff links, and sprayed on so much cologne he started sneezing. Isn’t he acting strangely today?”
Where had the cold-faced tyrant who usually struck fear into everyone gone?
Uncle Fu saw right through him. “There’s only one explanation: our young master is head over heels for that girl.”
Otherwise, why would he swallow his pride and ask someone to set him up with her?
Blurb Three:
Lu Jiayan’s mother fell ill. To grant her mother’s wish, she agreed to go on blind dates without complaint.
She didn’t expect to meet Zhou Xubai, who had also come because his grandfather was seriously ill. To fulfill his grandfather’s one remaining wish, he had no choice but to go on a blind date.
Zhou Xubai suggested, “Miss Lu, since we’re both doing this to put our elders’ minds at ease, why don’t we work together?”
Lu Jiayan: “How?”
Zhou Xubai: “We get married. Of course, we won’t need to live together. We’ll just put on an act in front of our elders from time to time.”
Lu Jiayan was tempted.
It would only be a fake marriage, and they wouldn’t even have to live together. That way, she could put her mother’s mind at ease and avoid going on any more blind dates. It was the perfect solution.
After thinking it over carefully, she agreed at once.
But not long afterward, when Lu Jiayan moved into Zhou Xubai’s house, she suddenly realized something.
Wait, hadn’t they agreed not to live together? How had she ended up moving in?
Only then did she belatedly realize she might have been tricked...
Blurb Four:
After they started living under the same roof, Lu Jiayan discovered that Zhou Xubai had no sense of propriety. He was always coming out of the shower in a loose bathrobe.
He had a fantastic physique, with well-developed chest muscles, broad shoulders, and a strong waist. He looked incredibly powerful.
Every time, Lu Jiayan couldn’t help staring. Then she’d lie awake at night and regret it.
When she told a friend, her friend wisely asked, “Is he trying to seduce you on purpose?”
Lu Jiayan: “...I don’t think so?”
With Zhou Xubai’s god-tier looks, that body, and all that money, he could have any woman he wanted. Why would he need to seduce her?
Much later, after they had gotten together, Lu Jiayan couldn’t help asking, “Zhou Xubai, when you kept coming out in a bathrobe after your showers, were you trying to seduce me?”
Zhou Xubai pinned her to the sofa and kissed her. At her question, he chuckled and looked up at her. “Lu Jiayan, you finally figured it out?”
He had tried every trick in the book with his looks, only to realize he might as well have been flirting with a blind woman.
Lu Jiayan was practically celibate, showing no interest at all in his charms.
Lu Jiayan swallowed and confessed, “Well... I was actually very interested. I was just pretending.”
Zhou Xubai curled his lips into a smile, bent down to bite her ear, and murmured hoarsely, “I can tell now.”
