Mi Yanyan was forced into a blind date. The other party was the Shi family from Nancheng, a distinguished and prominent pharmaceutical family. Shi Ze kai frowned at the roaring motorcycle outside the French window, conservatively and rigidly demanding that his future wife follow rules. Seeing this, Mi Yanyan tucked her motorcycle key into her bag, pulling down her clothes to cover the tattoo on her waist. Her profile was snow-white and translucent, and beneath a gentle, pure smile, she quickly rolled her eyes when the other party wasn't looking.

A few meters away, a distinguished, indifferent man took everything in. Someone reminded him: "Shi Jingzhou, forget it, that's your elder brother's wife by arranged marriage." Shi Jingzhou's lips curled up imperceptibly. "So what? Think bigger."

As Mi Yanyan was about to leave, the chair opposite was pulled out and turned, and the man straddled it. The youngest son of the Shi family was vastly different from his old-fashioned and ascetic elder brother. He was preoccupied with profit and cynical. "Marry me, and after marriage, you're free; I won't control you."

From the female lead's perspective: Only after getting married did she realize that Shi Jingzhou was a well-known ambitious person in the business world, taking whatever he couldn't get by force. His specialty was taking advantage of others' misfortunes, and his hobby was personal instruction. He canceled the long-term hotel suite and came home on time every day, not missing a single duty.

"Our curfew is 10 PM. You're 27 minutes over. 10 minutes counts as one time, so rounding up, that's three times." In the quiet night, the man leaned against the door, tapping his watch, a smile on his lips that was hard to decipher. Mi Yanyan's long legs went soft, and she clutched her jacket tighter, hiding the tight, super-short camisole underneath, arguing in a low voice, "You said before marriage you wouldn't control me." "A man's words are only for listening to. Be good, time to go home and do your homework."

Pleasure-laced tongues tipped with small doses of poison, the witch's glass vial gurgled, an tireless snake coiled around her abdomen, searching for the most enchanting blood rose in a hundred-acre flower field. The seductive, dreamy aroma had changed its scent, a sweet, cloying smell pervasive, the lingering pleasure refusing to disperse. "Okay," Shi Jingzhou completely surrendered. "Any other requests, just ask." Mi Yanyan grabbed his shirt. "Maybe I'll also need a choker."

From the male lead's perspective: Half a month after getting their marriage certificate, Shi Jingzhou met his wife by chance at a bar and discovered she didn't remember him at all, mistaking him for his elder brother. After living together for a month, Shi Jingzhou found her entire bookshelf in the study, half of which comprised professional books gifted by a man named X.

Meanwhile, downstairs, a childhood friend whose name started with X was intimately displaying his abs. The first time he picked her up from work, an old classmate whose name started with X appeared, chatting and working happily with his wife. After bothering for more than half a year, he found out everything was wrong; the real X would land in 10 minutes. "Wife, this must be the last one, right?" "Not necessarily, keep trying."

Acknowledgement: The phrase "There are two kinds of men in the world: one is an uninteresting good man, and the other is an interesting bad man" is from "Is Your Summer Doing Well?" by Kim Ae-ran. This novel does not contain blood relations between the male and female leads. The female lead is not a virgin, and the male lead is a virgin. Our goal is for the female lead to have a good time, and the male lead won't mind; he'll only resent his own lack of ability. You are all so good, you won't mind either! The female lead isn't a pushover; she has her own life and will follow her current desires (exploring all directions). The professional settings are researched online by Zaozi and are as realistic as possible, but due to the significant difference from her own profession, it's not guaranteed to be entirely accurate. Polite corrections are welcome. Zaozi is a writer who stores drafts, so presale drafts are 100,000+ words; please collect and support! The title will be explained upon publication.
