Original title: "Gradually Rising Selfish Desires"
Double cleanliness + Marriage of Convenience + Redemption.
A reclusive, world-weary novelist & self-restrained, polite scoundrel.
At their first meeting, Shu Wanning was brought before Wen Yucheng as a sacrifice for her father's gambling debts. Wen Yucheng scoffed, saying, "I have no intention of raising someone else's daughter."
During their second encounter, he rescued her from the heavy rain. Little did he know that the umbrella, silently shifting its position, would end up shading her for a lifetime.
Due to his grandmother's催婚 (urging for marriage) and the covetous eyes of outsiders, he lured her with benefits and a contract, keeping her by his side to 'act' with him. He never expected to be the first one to get deeply into character, the one who fell in love deeply.
Wen Yucheng before marriage is not worth mentioning. After marriage, Wen Yucheng willingly follows his wife, becoming a devoted husband. It is said that once, when he made a mistake, the usually arrogant 'Crown Prince' knelt outside the bedroom door, peeling a whole plate of grapes on a keyboard.
Wen Yucheng's Award for Baffling Behavior:
"It's okay if my wife doesn't like me; I can seduce her."
"When my wife hits me, it's love; when she scolds me, it's love. When she ignores me, it means she cares."
"Kicked out of the room by my wife, I climbed through the window late at night to beg for forgiveness."
"You think this tie looks good? My wife tied it for me. Cufflinks? My wife bought them for me."
"My wife doesn't like to talk? Yes, my wife only likes to talk to me."
