Damp Delusions

[Radiant, outgoing radio host x composed, reserved heir to a business empire]

[Strangers before marriage] [Married first, in love later] [Slow-burn healing romance]

At the age of 24, Shu Luo followed her family's arrangements and entered a marriage alliance with the Fu family.

In the eyes of outsiders, Fu Jichen was young and accomplished, always calm, restrained, and impeccably mannered. Shu Luo thought he was indeed the perfect marriage partner. It was only a business arrangement, after all. They had no feelings for each other, so they could simply respect each other after marriage.

At first, she thought this kind of life was pretty good. Her husband gave her money to spend and was rarely home, until, little by little, he started coming home more and more often.

During a casual chat, her best friend remarked, "Your husband looks like he has no interest in sex."

Shu Luo rubbed her lower back and fell silent for a few seconds. "…You got the wrong idea."

That handsome face of his was terribly deceptive.

After they married, Fu Jichen often came to pick Shu Luo up from work.

After seeing them together several times, a colleague kindly warned Shu Luo, "Why are you so close to President Fu? I heard he's already married."

Shu Luo blinked and smiled. "I have a husband, too."

Her colleague's expression changed. They opened their mouth, then asked, "Isn't that... a little inappropriate?"

Later, someone at the station spread a rumor that Shu Luo was seducing a married man to gain access to resources. The gossip spread like wildfire, and plenty of people waited to see her make a fool of herself.

The next day, Fu Jichen attended a banquet with Shu Luo and publicly announced, "Allow me to introduce my wife, Shu Luo."

"She doesn't need to trade favors for resources. Everything I have is hers."

*My life was barren, dim, and damp, and you were the one and only delusion I ever allowed myself.*
