Naturally clumsy soft girl x scheming, dark-bellied mature man. Talented novelist x Physics Professor. SC (Still C*rnal) double first love / height difference / 7-year age gap / from strangers to intimate / male lead falls in love first.

As early autumn brought a slight chill, Sang Fu arrived at Jia University to meet a childhood friend, coincidentally catchin an overflowing lecture hall. On stage, a man in a black shirt stood tall and straight, speaking eloquently, capable and composed. Her friend whispered, introducing him as Zhuang Mowen, the newly appointed associate professor of physics at Jia University, young and promising, a true 'high-mountain flower'.

"I heard Professor Zhuang is still single and hasn't found a girlfriend. So many teachers and students at the school have tried to show him affection, but he doesn't flirt, which shows his character." That evening at a coffee shop, Sang Fu held a hot cocoa and gently said to Zhuang Mowen, who sat opposite her, "I am very satisfied with you. Can we get married?"

Sang Fu and Zhuang Mowen's marriage was one of mutual benefit. He wanted to ease his seriously ill family member's mind, and Sang Fu coincidentally needed an excellent, outwardly presentable husband to end her endless blind dates and focus on her writing. In Sang Fu's eyes, Zhuang Mowen was gentle, elegant, gentlemanly, and steady.

Even his considerate attention towards her stemmed from his innate upbringing, unrelated to affection. After marriage, they politely slept in separate rooms and treated each other with respect, like honored guests. But one day, Sang Fu couldn't resist posting a question on a social platform: "What does it mean when a man knocks on your door wearing only a bath towel after showering?"

Enthusiastic netizens advised her to call the police, suggesting he might be a perverted neighbor. Sang Fu thought it over repeatedly and clarified for Zhuang Mowen: "It's my husband." "?" Someone suggested: "Search why cats keep meowing."

Months passed, Sang Fu's new book was published, and Zhuang Mowen's family member recovered from illness. According to their initial agreement, their marriage was about to end. Friends who knew about it specially prepared a party for her, celebrating her return to single life in advance. However, Sang Fu, the guest of honor, was inexplicably absent all evening.

At dawn, the phone was finally answered, but it was Zhuang Mowen's deep voice. "Hello, please contact me tomorrow if there's anything." "She's very tired, just fell asleep." "..." What happened to being a 'plastic couple'? How did they end up sleeping in the same bed?

"Mini Theater": Since their marriage, Zhuang Mowen had been meticulously considerate, never showing Sang Fu an unpleasant face. Even when their pretense turned real, especially in bed initially, he tried his best to restrain himself, unwilling to make her cry. Later, however, he saw the news of her friends planning a single's party for her.

Sang Fu cried all night, but it didn't make Zhuang Mowen stop. He kissed Sang Fu's cheek, no longer gentle as he once was. "Cry, I'm listening."
