Summary:

She had no idea how far Qin Moling was willing to go for their marriage. And because she didn’t know, she was not willing to give her emotions away easily. It would be difficult to take back spilled water, and the same was true for feelings.

If Qin Moling was willing to work on their marriage, then she was also willing. If Qin Moling was good to her, she would also be very good to him.

… …

Three months after their marriage, Jian Hang and Qin Moling still slept in separate rooms. This marriage was decided by the Old Master of the Qin family, and Qin Moling had no feelings for her. 

In the eyes of outsiders, when Jian Hang who came from an ordinary family married into the Qin family, she was a sparrow who flew up a branch and became a phoenix. Many people were waiting to see her become a joke as the abandoned wife of a wealthy family. But Jian Hang indeed did not lose out on this marriage, and so she decided to live a good life together with Qin Moling.

That night, she took the initiative to find him and talked about a topic that was trending on the Internet.

Qin Moling only gave her a few perfunctory words, obviously not listening.

Seeing that he had no interest, Jian Hang got up and went back to her bedroom. After a while, there was a knock on the door.

Jian Hang didn’t open the door and said in a disinterested tone: “If you have anything to say, just say it.”

Qin Moling: “The hot search you’re concerned about was the 22nd earlier, but now it has been promoted to the 2nd and tagged as ‘explosive’.”

Jian Hang: “…”

PS: As the title says, marriage comes first, then love. The male lead goes from never being in love, to having his heart quicken, his desires aroused, to being completely devoted.

T/N: Yes, it’s Qin Moling and Jian Hang from the same author and same universe as Seventh Year of My Secret Love For You 🥰.

Not sure why of all the squee-worthy interactions between the leads, this was the scene picked by the author to be part of the summary 🤦‍♀️ But I guess it does showcase a little how they interact in the beginning—one would try, get mixed signals and withdraw, and the other would step up. What makes everything work out is that they are both very willing to try—even when they’re a bit of a bonehead when it comes to love and relationship.

The summary also doesn’t say but the female lead is not a wilting damsel-in-distress. She’s also a ‘domineering CEO’ in her own right, kicks business ass, and eats arrogant bosses for breakfast—all done with a gorgeous shade of lipstick.
