Sweet on the outside, wicked on the inside, innocent flower x sweet on the outside, dark on the inside, two personalities
Xie Yunliu, the daughter of a minister, has a fiance, Lu Heng, the eldest son of the Duke's household.
But she finds him rigid and restrained, with no sense of romance, and has even considered breaking off the engagement.
Her cousin and her husband are deeply in love. When Xie Yunliu asks her about it, her cousin gives her a meaningful smile. "A high nose, long fingers, rosy knuckles, and a man who knows how to please. When you get married, A-Liu, pick someone like that."
On an outing, Xie Yunliu's carriage accidentally collides with the Duke's sedan chair. A slender, well-proportioned hand with rosy knuckles lifts the curtain. The man inside is strikingly handsome: Lu Heng.
Lu Heng courteously apologizes to her. Xie Yunliu replies with her lips, but her eyes size him up from head to toe: ...I never would have guessed.
She's changed her mind. On her wedding day, Xie Yunliu climbs into the bridal sedan, her little face turning yellow, no, red.

Who knew that on their wedding night, Lu Heng, slightly drunk, would gently tell her that they should take their time getting to know each other and there was no need to rush? He had no intention of consummating the marriage.
Xie Yunliu is shocked and disappointed. In a moment of irrational inspiration, she picks up a drawing from her dowry and secretly hides under the covers.
But she doesn't expect her husband to return, suddenly turning wicked. He holds her down on the bright red wedding quilt all night, and she finally falls asleep at dawn with trembling legs.
She discovers her husband's secret: every night, he seems to become a different person, giving her wave after wave of pleasure.
Until one day, her husband's eyes, usually clouded with obsession, suddenly clear. He looks at everything before him, his hand trembling uncontrollably.
-
Lu Heng has a new wife, and he likes her very much. But he knows she isn't entirely satisfied with him.
So on their wedding night, he restrains himself. He wants to wait until she likes him too before they become husband and wife in the truest sense.
But things gradually start to get strange. The odd sensations he has every morning when he wakes, and the increasingly clingy way Xie Yunliu looks at him, both make Lu Heng feel that something is wrong.
Other than his parents and closest family, no one knows that he suffered from an illness as a child, and that there is another self inside him with a volatile, violent nature. Medication kept it under control, and it hadn't caused trouble in years. All the doctors said he was cured.
Later, when he learns the truth, he even asks Xie Yunliu in a trembling voice which of them can make her feel better and happier.
P.S.:
1. The male lead has two personalities. The female lead doesn't find out until later. At first, the innocent heroine thinks it's some kind of erotic roleplay.
2. The primary personality is gentle and kind, while the secondary personality is obsessive and unhinged. The secondary personality shares the primary personality's feelings and memories, but not the other way around.
3. Both personalities fall for the heroine at first sight. The secondary personality is so infatuated that he breaks through more than a decade of medication control to forcefully claim her.
4. The two personalities compete with each other, not only for the heroine but also for control of the body.
