Flash Marriage, Deep Love

[The heroine is outgoing and vivacious, while the hero is gentle and devoted. A sweet, doting romance about falling in love after marriage.]

*

Mi Jing is 27 and unmarried.

She comes from an ordinary family, with a warm home and loving parents.

Shen Lingxing is one of the major shareholders of M Group, the director of a private hospital, and the son of a high-ranking official.

He's a highly eligible bachelor. With such an impressive status, why would he ever have trouble finding a wife?!

But he always goes on blind dates pretending to be an ordinary doctor. After 19 dates, there have only been two possible outcomes: either the woman wasn't interested in him, or he wasn't interested in her.

Mi Jing has witnessed all 19 of his blind dates, and she is the one who brings them to an end.

She asks, “Didn't you meet anyone suitable again?”

He gives a little nod and says, “Mm.”

She asks again, “What do you think of me?”

He replies, “You're pretty great!”

So she says, “How about we get married?”

He isn't particularly surprised. Instead, he readily nods. “Sure. Let's go register our marriage in a bit.”

[The most moving love story is one where, after many twists and turns, she finally meets the best man at the most mature stage of her life.]

He is a regular at her coffee shop. At first, she doesn't pay him much attention, but the women who work there often talk about him, so she gradually learns a little about him.

He likes Blue Mountain coffee and often goes on blind dates.

She goes on blind dates often, too, though not by choice. Her mother keeps forcing her to.

One day, she finds herself stuck with a difficult blind date. As luck would have it, he is sitting at the next table, so in a panic, she pulls him in to use as a human shield.

Another day, she runs into him at a college friend's wedding, where she also encounters her ex-boyfriend and the woman who had come between them.

When the “other woman” provokes her, she pulls him in to pretend to be her boyfriend. It feels great, but costs her money, too.

…

They are both older singles, pressured by their families into going on blind dates one after another. Since their ultimate goal is marriage, they hit it off and tie the knot in a whirlwind wedding.

[Excerpt 1]

One evening, Mi Jing takes Shen Lingxing home for dinner.

After dinner, Mi Jing and Shen Lingxing walk downstairs together.

“You...” Mi Jing's eyes widen in shock when Shen Lingxing suddenly kisses her.

“Don't move. Mom's watching,” Shen Lingxing whispers gently in her ear, holding her tightly.

“My mom? Where is she?”

“On the balcony.” Shen Lingxing glances toward the black car not far away. Seeing Mi Jing's ex-boyfriend's twisted expression, a glint of amusement flashes through his eyes.
