The day before they were due to marry, Jiang Tingyue asked He Jun, "Mr. He, with a betrothal gift this generous, will you expect us to have a married life?"

He Jun narrowed his dark eyes and answered her question with one of his own. "Would you want us to or not?"

Jiang Tingyue lowered her voice. "A married life needs an emotional foundation, and we hardly know each other..."

He Jun understood.

"Everything will stay the same, except for that piece of paper," he said.

Jiang Tingyue visibly relaxed.

He Jun nearly laughed. What, did she think he was marrying her because he liked her?

-

After they married, He Jun inexplicably felt that Jiang Tingyue was like a puppy he'd raised. Every time she saw him, she wagged her tail happily.

He quite enjoyed the feeling.

They had agreed it would be a marriage of convenience, with no married life, but he found himself wanting it more and more.

They were legally married, with every right to be together. Surely it wouldn't be a problem to sleep together?

-

He Jun's reason for choosing Jiang Tingyue as his wife was simple: she was pretty and well-behaved, as innocent as a blank sheet of paper, and she probably wouldn't make trouble when they divorced.

Jiang Tingyue knew this very well too.

So when He Jun's "cherished first love" came knocking, she obediently stepped aside without asking a single unnecessary question.

But He Jun searched for her until his eyes were bloodshot.

"Jiang Tingyue, you can't pretend you don't remember that night and get away without taking responsibility."

"Jiang Tingyue, you're the one I love. Could you please love me just a little too?"

He Jun carefully laid his plans and lured his wife deeper in. He never expected to be the first one to fall.
