# Strangers, Marriage First, Love Later #

One

Her grandmother fell ill, and with no other options, Meng Yao agreed to a marriage of convenience for her half-sister. On their wedding night, Meng Yao waited a long time for Fang Huaixu, who rushed back from the group's headquarters. He seemed not to recognize her, his imposter identity as the 'lady of the house', and calmly informed her, "Apologies, I'll be spending most of my time at the company from now on and won't be able to pay much attention to you."

"It's fine, Mr. Fang. It's just a marriage alliance," Meng Yao thought nothing serious would come of this superficial marriage. She never expected their marriage would become a mere formality. Unexpectedly, not long after, Fang Huaixu began reporting his schedule on time, coming home whenever he had free time, and started taking care of her daily life.

Even more unexpectedly, shortly after their marriage, a major shareholder appeared out of nowhere and took a stake in her company. Meng Yao met the gaze of the man commanding everyone's attention on stage – who else could it be but her new husband?

Two

In the upper circles of the capital, everyone knew Fang Huaixu was not someone to be trifled with. He left his family in his early twenties to start his own business, and six years later, he became the head of one of the most prominent groups in the capital. He was known for his rigid and solitary personality, completely devoted to his work, and was notoriously cold and unfeeling.

Unexpectedly, after re-appearing at a family banquet six years later, he brought back a new wife. The woman lightly held his arm as they appeared together; they didn't seem like a couple, appearing both intimate and distant. Some speculated their marriage was merely for show, while others secretly investigated the woman's identity.

Meng Yao became the center of attention at the banquet. After politely declining many invitations, a malicious voice suddenly rang out, "What 'eldest daughter of the Meng family'? She's just a picked-up imposter. I think Young Master Fang has been deceived!" Meng Yao remained calm, accustomed to such sarcastic remarks.

Suddenly, a large hand gently clasped her shoulder. Meng Yao, surprised, looked up to see her husband's hand – his first unsolicited touch. Fang Huaixu's voice was cold, "I'm not aware of her past, but you'd best be sure that she is, and will always be, my wife."

【Short Skit】

Fang family banquets always had a cluster of children. They swarmed around Meng Yao, asking her to play the role of a police chief catching ghosts. Meng Yao cooperatively aimed her hand like a gun, 'apprehending' the children running around. However, upon turning, her 'gunshot' hit Fang Huaixu, who had come to pick her up, half a meter away. The two looked at each other, Meng Yao's face flushing to her ears, embarrassed by the man's stern and composed face. A child tugged at Meng Yao's hem, "Sister, why isn't your gun working anymore..."

Just as she was at a loss for words, a dispassionate mechanical voice sounded beside her. Fang Huaixu stumbled a few steps as if out of time, clutching his heart with a blank expression, "Ah, I'm dead." Meng Yao: ...But he was shot in the arm.

[The Workplace is a Battlefield, and Also Their Love Field]

One-Sentence Synopsis: After deleting my blind date, he became my boss.

[Synopsis]

Tang Yi had a self-made "blind date deception technique"—politely attend the meeting, converse gracefully, and then delete the contact afterward.

Until a new CEO was parachuted into the company, impeccably dressed, with a devil-may-care attitude in his gaze.

"Nice to meet you, Secretary Tang."

Zhang Minglang deliberately emphasized the word "nice to meet you," observing her reaction with great interest.

When she clearly saw the face of the person in front of her, Tang Yi's flawless professional mask showed a barely perceptible flicker.

The blind date she deleted last night was none other than the top boss who was parachuted in today?

**

In public, she was the pillar of the secretary department, calm, capable, and meticulous.

In private, she was the cool and stunning bartender at Heaven Bar, skilled and aloof.

This dual identity had never been exposed for years, but that night at the bar, she ran into Zhang Minglang's probing gaze.

He unintentionally discovered her secret.

Thus, at work, he set traps and repeatedly found fault, and she countered each move with composure.

Everyone in the secretary department was watching, waiting for the two of them to engage in a daily battle of wits.

Little did they know that behind a closed door—

The man who had just coldly reprimanded executives in the meeting was now holding Secretary Tang's waist, burying his head in her neck like a clingy big dog.

"Just once... I'll let you go after one kiss."

"I told you, don't mix work and personal matters."

Tang Yi's voice was cold, and she tried to pull her hand away without warning, lightly waving it at Zhang Minglang's approaching face, but he grabbed her wrist faster.

He lowered his head, his nose tip touching her palm, inhaling deeply, then looked up with a lazy smile.

"Found it," he murmured, his fingertips caressing the delicate skin on her wrist, "So this is the scent on my tie."

Until she, with a video warning against a scam, brought the owner of "Yue Jian" dessert shop into the spotlight—

It was all because his focused and silent gaze made her think she was subjected to the legendary "male gaze."

However, on the night the video was released, fans dug up the truth.

Awaiting release: A connected story "Cloud", synopsis below:

【5-year age gap | The superior bows | Female prosecutor × Beijing elite influential figure】

Xiang Qing first met Pei Yichen when they were under the eaves of Peking University during the rain. She ducked under his umbrella: "Sir, may I borrow your umbrella to shelter from the rain?"

Pei Yichen glanced at her formal attire and silently permitted her impolite intrusion.

Later, she used this umbrella for four years.

Xiang Qing is not a bad person, but she's not a good person either. She has struggled in the mud for over twenty years, seen wild beasts from several mountains, and lived in dark, dilapidated earth houses. Her only focus has been to climb upwards; no one can make her stay except for her utility value.

The day she left Pei Yichen, she turned around resolutely and frankly told him: "I want to reach the highest position."

Later, her career path was indeed smooth, but her family dragged her back into the mud once more. Pouring rain, she was trapped on the steps by the roadside.

The rain stopped overhead. She looked up to see Pei Yichen, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, approaching with a black umbrella.

He wore a perfectly tailored suit, his shoulders dusted with moisture. The fingertips holding the umbrella handle were pale. For the first time, he'd seen her with red-rimmed eyes.

The man's expression was indifferent, and the umbrella tilted towards her: "This umbrella, I'll lend it to you again."

『Since I personally lifted her to the clouds, how could I let her fall.』

Cool, noble, and aloof CEO x Tsundere, sharp-tongued little assistant.

【Sharp-tongued vs. Stubborn | Reunion after a long separation | Strong possessiveness | Sweet but angsty chase | Dual Clean】

Qiao Xu, from an ordinary family, and Xu Si'an, the young master of a wealthy family in Luocheng, dated for two years and eight months in college. They planned to meet their parents and get engaged after graduation.

However, a week before graduation, all their plans were shattered. She broke up with him decisively and left without looking back.

Four years later, Qiao Xu is the CEO's secretary at Xuxing Group. After waking up from her lunch break, her ex-boyfriend suddenly became her direct superior!

A colleague asked her, "Mr. Xu looks very ascetic, but his nose bridge is really high, he must be very impressive." Qiao Xu mumbled softly, "Ascetic my foot!"

"Impressive? A cultured scoundrel is, of course, impressively perverted."

Xu Si'an's cold gaze swept over the woman who was both familiar and strange to him. "I need a personal assistant."

In front of others, he was all business, stern and impartial. Xu Si'an: "You stole my dog when we broke up?"

Once the office door closed, he transformed into a big bad wolf. "Assistant Qiao, your things were left at my place last night." Qiao Xu took a step back in her high heels. "Mr. Xu, please have some self-respect."

Xu Si'an pressed her against the office desk. "Self-respect? It's too late to be reserved now."

"You abandoned me for four years, do you regret it?"

Qiao Xu is an Aries, and she loves violets. Inside Xu Si'an's left arm, there is a tattoo: a little lamb holding a bouquet of violets, embraced by a lion!

Lin Yue never imagined she'd randomly marry a man she met less than a day before after graduating college.

Ever since she turned 18, her mother went all out introducing her to different men, saying 'Good men won't be in the market forever, so you have to seize the opportunity first!'

During those matchmaking events, she happened to meet gynecologist Song Yunzheng, who was also pressured into marriage by his family.

They hit it off immediately.

Song Yunzheng said, '"Would you be interested in getting married?"

Lin Yue replied, '"Let's go!"

Song Yunzheng thought his young wife would be a sweet and obedient little girl who wouldn't cause any trouble, but surprisingly she was as wild as a monkey, able to get into trouble anywhere, ultimately keeping him on edge!

[Big-brained sweet girl who dreams of being a 'salted fish' X Cold-faced but warm-hearted car company boss, Weibo: @JinjiangMuXiaobu]

1

After failing to start a business, Luo Qingyue accepted reality. She had planned to lie flat and be a 'salted fish' rich second generation, but her brother threw her into a friend's company, euphemistically calling it "experience."

Life is short, why waste time on work? This isn't experience, it's a tribulation. She must rise up and resist!

After working overtime for a few days, filled with resentment, Luo Qingyue stormed into her boss's office, hands braced on the table, staring directly at her brother's close friend.

"You know my family's power, right? As long as I whisper a little to my parents, acquiring your company would be effortless."

The person in front of him spoke loudly, her voice rising. Facing such arrogant flames, Lu Mingxiao remained calm: "What is your demand?"

Luo Qingyue leaned in, the man's handsome face inches away. Her heart skipped a beat. She immediately changed her prepared speech, her gaze serious and firm: "Call my brother and tell him that your company doesn't allow office romances, and that you fell in love with me, so you had to fire me."

Lu Mingxiao: "..."

2

Luo Qingyue didn't get fired as she wished.

Lu Mingxiao not only allowed her to excel in projects, passing her probation and becoming a full-time employee, but also offered her rides home and cooked her special meals in his private kitchen.

Initially, Luo Qingyue thought he did this out of politeness.

Gradually, she realized something was not quite right.

During a business trip, Luo Qingyue's feet were sore and unbearable from wearing high heels. Lu Mingxiao went to the mall, bought a pair of sneakers, and helped her change into them.

On a park bench, Luo Qingyue looked down, watching Lu Mingxiao squat in front of her, carefully putting the high heels into a shoe box.

Lu Mingxiao sat beside her. Luo Qingyue didn't dare to look at his face, muttering softly: "If you're in financial trouble, just tell me. Behaving so kindly in various ways makes it hard not to suspect you have ulterior motives for me."

The wind blew, carrying tenderness.

After a moment of silence, Lu Mingxiao raised his hand to brush away a pink petal that had fallen on Luo Qingyue's head: "Our company has never prohibited office romances."

Thinking he was bringing up old scores, Luo Qingyue's breath hitched.

The next moment, his deep voice fell into her ears again: "Luo Qingyue, I've fallen in love with you. Will you be responsible for me?"

Pre-order novel "You Are Sweet as Candy" is seeking collections.

Synopsis:

To find a special aroma that could be extracted from plants as a raw material for perfumes, Shen Siyue traveled to various flower cultivation bases for two years, but found nothing.

Just as he was about to give up, he learned about a place called Qingxi, where there was a particularly talented plant breeder.

Holding onto his last hope, Shen Siyue went there and met a young girl wearing a straw hat and ice sleeves, pushing a small cart, covered in sweat.

The cart was piled high with various flowering plants, as tall as a small mountain. The girl ran with all her might, didn't watch where she was going, and bumped into him, apologizing profusely.

A perfumer's sense of smell is more sensitive than an ordinary person's. Shen Siyue took a pot of flowers from the cart.

The flowers looked listless, but their fragrance permeated his heart, perfectly matching what he had been searching for.

Shen Siyue was overjoyed and offered a high price to buy them.

Xuan Ning blinked her clear, bright eyes, full of confusion: "These are all varieties I've discarded. Do you really want them?"

Realizing that the person in front of him was the breeder, Shen Siyue smiled: "To you, it's a failed work; to me, it's a rare treasure."

Later, they spent day and night together, and feelings gradually developed.

The perfume formulated by Shen Siyue won the gold prize at an international perfume competition. This perfume was named "Xuan Ning."

During the post-competition interview, the host asked him the meaning of "Xuan Ning." His eyes were filled with gentle smiles.

"That's the name of the person I love."

One-sentence summary: Big-brained sweet girl x Cold-faced, warm-hearted BOSS

Purpose: Efforts are not in vain, love is not by chance

Lin Zhixing always knew that her boyfriend's uncle, He Yanchen, was cold-hearted and unapproachable. She had heard that the man was noble, self-controlled, and did not associate with women.

Later, she broke up with her boyfriend and, by a strange twist of fate, ended up staying by He Yanchen's side.

Every night, when the man intertwined his fingers with hers and repeatedly kissed her, saying, "Again..." Lin Zhixing, with tears in her eyes, realized just how thoroughly she had been deceived!

Jin Huainan was famously aloof and noble in the capital, with ruthless methods. Everywhere he went, he was a favored son of heaven, attracting everyone's attention.

Until one day, a sweet and delicate secretary joined the company. She stood there, no different from a mere vase, and called out "President Jin" in a cutesy voice every day.

Little did she know, she was touching a taboo. Everyone knew that the CEO of Jin's Group detested useless drama queens. People were dumbfounded, betting on when she would be fired.

Yet, half a year later, she directly pulled out a marriage certificate, becoming the CEO's wife. Jin Huainan: "It smells so good (I love it)."

Han Siyi was scheming, a white lotus, relying on her good looks to entangle with the Jin family's patriarch. She also knew he had no heart, so she decided to play along, focusing on the physical rather than emotional attachment.

When she was about to leave, he actually became unhappy. "It seems I've spoiled you too much," the man said, his gaze deep, lines appearing on his usually indifferent face. Han Siyi feigned a few tears, fragile like a wilting white flower.

"You can't give me what I want." "What do you want?" "One hundred million. Can you give it to me?" She stated something she had planned long ago.

"Marry me, and it's more than a hundred million," the man raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on his lips. He brushed a stray strand of hair from her ear, leaned in, and dropped a kiss. "See you tomorrow at 9 AM at the Civil Affairs Bureau."

【Chasing His Wife / Hidden Identity / Marriage First, Love Later】

| Clear-minded, charming, and sunny heroine vs. cold, self-possessed, stubborn, and cunning male lead |

Lu Tingwan lived with her mother in Jiangling for seventeen years, where she mastered bookkeeping, makeup, gardening, and business skills.

When her mother passed away, her father brought her to the capital and tricked her into a substitute marriage, sending her to the estate of Cheng Xianz hi, a powerful official of the Great Lan dynasty.

Cheng Xianzhi was a favored minister personally promoted by the Great Lan Emperor to counterbalance the power of the imperial family's relatives. In less than five years, he had risen to the rank of Right Servant-in-Chief of the second grade, holding absolute power. It was rumored that Minister Cheng was aloof, indifferent, and decisive, yet this formidable minister also had a childhood sweetheart and "white moonlight" with whom he shared his wedding day, as both entered his manor on the same day.

Lu Tingwan was shrewd; to escape the inescapable situation in the capital, she willingly stepped into the scheme. On her wedding night, under the red candle light, she casually used her red veil as a cushion while meticulously counting her dowry, planning how to start a business outside, earn money, and then divorce him and run away.

***

Three months into the marriage, she had not once seen her husband. At the same time, a merchant named Jiang Yanli became famous in the capital for her exceptional business acumen.

During an assignment, Cheng Xianzhi unexpectedly encountered Lu Tingwan, who was disguised as a man and using a pseudonym. Facing the handsome and upright official, she introduced herself: "My name is Jiang Yanli." Later, Cheng Xianzhi was implicated in an investigation and found himself in trouble. Unaware that this person was her nominal husband, Lu Tingwan helped him provide evidence.

After that night, Cheng Xianzhi arrived at Yansheng Hall, where he confronted the happily counting money individual behind a screen, demanding, "Jiang Yanli? When did you become my manor's second madame?" Lu Tingwan's back stiffened as her identity was exposed. She decided to reach an agreement with him: once his objectives were met, he would give her a divorce letter and set her free. Cheng Xianzhi readily agreed: "Deal."

After helping Cheng Xianzhi secure his promotion, Lu Tingwan asked him to honor his promise of divorce. However, Cheng Xianzhi had already fallen deeply in love. Lu Tingwan then unexpectedly uncovered a shocking secret: Cheng Xianzhi’s "white moonlight" was a sham?

***

Later, Cheng Xianzhi saw her forgo sleep and meals to practice archery for someone else, observing silently and regretting his promise of divorce. When news of Lu Tingwan's impending divorce spread, countless men came to propose, nearly breaking down the Cheng family's threshold. Seeing the courtyard filled with betrothal gifts, Cheng Xianzhi gritted his teeth, "I'm not dead yet, and you're already arranging for the next one?"

Lu Tingwan ignored him. When his affection was disregarded, the uncontrollable emotions pushed him into darkness. Under the lonely moonlight, he could no longer hide his usual composure and climbed through Lu Tingwan's window onto her bed. He abruptly pulled her close, releasing his long-suppressed feelings, and forcefully kissed her. Lu Tingwan struggled against his grip and gave him a harsh slap.

Cheng Xianzhi flinched in pain, her scent lingering on his cheek, and pleaded bitterly, "A'wan? I am your rightful husband. If he can kiss you, why can't I?" He begged, "Stay. Please, stay for me?" Lu Tingwan closed her eyes and wept in his forceful embrace. Cheng Xianzhi tasted her salty tears and sobered up, enduring the stinging pain as he gently wiped away her tears. She absolutely refused!
