Summary:
Gentle, reserved veteran cadre X Beautiful, flirtatious older sister who pretends to be innocent.
To fend off her family’s relentless pressure to marry, Jiang Wanyu reluctantly agreed to a blind date.
The private room door opened, but the person who entered was someone she knew.
Ming Jiyue, a senior from high school who was two grades ahead of her, and a renowned triple-gold film queen in the entertainment industry.
Also, her ex-girlfriend.
Was this the blind date her family had arranged?
After a few polite exchanges, Jiang Wanyu realized she had entered the wrong room.
As she turned to leave, Ming Jiyue called out, “Want to consider me?”
And so, they eloped.
Before their marriage, they had agreed on a contractual arrangement, promising to keep emotions out of it.
Shortly after the wedding, Jiang Wanyu began to notice that her new wife was acting strangely.
While Jiang Wanyu was busy with work, Ming Jiyue changed into a newly purchased dress and appeared before her.
Her snow-white skin glowed like jade, and the red dress swayed gracefully.
“Does it look good?”
Jiang Wanyu’s heart fluttered slightly, but she immediately frowned. “It’s not even 20 degrees today.”
Ming Jiyue: “Huh?”
“Aren’t you cold?” Jiang Wanyu asked, grabbing a thick coat. Before Ming Jiyue could react, she draped it over her without another word.
Seeing the delicate beauty she had wrapped into a warm, bundled-up package, Jiang Wanyu’s tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed.
“Much better this way.”
Ming Jiyue: ……
In bed that night, as Jiang Wanyu prepared to sleep, Ming Jiyue leaned closer, her slender fingers resting on her wife’s shoulder, her eyes shimmering with a watery glint.
“Wanyu, already going to sleep? It’s still early. Look at us…”
Before she could finish, a faint blush crept up Jiang Wanyu’s ears, though she desperately tried to maintain her composure. Taking a deep breath, she turned to her bedmate and said, “Between 11 PM and 1 AM, the gallbladder metabolizes bile and the bone marrow produces bl00d.”
The sudden shift in topic left Ming Jiyue bewildered. “So?”
“These processes require a state of sleep.”
Afraid her reaction might betray her, Jiang Wanyu immediately switched off the light and lay down.
Ming Jiyue: ?
Seven years ago, Jiang Wanyu had been a model student, focused solely on her studies. Now, she had become the epitome of a rigid, old-fashioned bureaucrat.
Unbeknownst to Ming Jiyue, the woman lying beside her in the dark was blushing furiously.
Renowned architect Jiang Wanyu appeared as a civilian guest on the same variety show as Ming Jiyue.
Throughout the filming, their interactions were ambiguous, their closeness undeniable. Viewers quickly switched from casual fans to dedicated shippers.
They’re dating, right?! They must be dating!
During a live broadcast, Ming Jiyue was asked about their relationship.
“Fans are speculating that you and Ms. Jiang Wanyu are romantically involved. What’s your take?”
Ming Jiyue smiled slyly. “Of course not.”
That night, as soon as Ming Jiyue stepped through the door, she was swept into Jiang Wanyu’s arms and carried horizontally to the bed.
“It’s past ten,” Ming Jiyue teased. “Still awake?”
Jiang Wanyu pressed her lips against Ming Jiyue’s, her usually composed face betraying barely suppressed anger. “I want to clarify with Mrs. Jiang exactly what our relationship is.”
The next day, the sun was high in the sky.
After spending the entire night clarifying their relationship with Ming Jiyue, Jiang Wanyu posted a “clarification” on Weibo:
Not lovers, but beloveds. @JiangWanyu
P.S.
- Same-s3x marriage is legal. Mutual pining, marriage before love. 1v1, HE.
- The setting exists solely to serve the protagonists’ romance and the plot. Don’t overthink the logic.
- There shouldn’t be any major triggers. The female leads will have some misunderstandings, but they will be resolved. The entire story is 1v1, with no other romantic interests.
