After Mistaking His Arranged Marriage Partner, He's Super Into Her

This is a story of a marriage of convenience between complete strangers, where the powerful party eventually yields and "eats their words" (ends up loving it). It features a gentle beauty and a strict, old-fashioned big shot.

Xu Qingwu initially thought her arranged marriage partner was a playboy, and she figured it would be fine for them to each do their own thing. It wasn't until the pre-marital check-up that she realized she had the wrong person. Her actual marriage partner was the playboy's uncle, Cen Xihuai, rumored to be aloof from women and disciplined in his conduct.

Immediately after marriage, the straight-laced man said, "I'm quite busy with work and not heavily interested in desire." A month into the marriage, the man, having tasted the sweetness, said, "Food and sex are human nature; it's perfectly normal for us as husband and wife." Much later, a friend discovered that the old-fashioned man, who always buttoned his shirt to the very top, actually had a rose tattooed on his lower abdomen! Cen Xihuai smiled faintly, "Looks good, doesn't it? My wife drew it." His friend exclaimed, "How audacious! Who could be more audacious than you?"

Cen Xihuai's envisioned marriage was one of mutual respect and non-interference. Only after marriage did he discover his new wife was too popular, and he found himself jealous every day. Mutual respect became the biggest joke. He wanted her to be happy, to achieve all her desires, and wanted to offer the world to her. He even began to get greedy, wanting her to love him.

Everyone thought the Cen family's youngest uncle was calm and self-possessed, unperturbed by anything. Xu Qingwu kept in mind that their relationship was merely an arranged marriage; she dutifully fulfilled her wifely obligations, not daring to overstep in the slightest. That night, amidst a red storm alert, he rushed back, disheveled and frantic. Embracing her, his voice trembled slightly, "Wife, don't leave me."
