She is of average status. He is young and powerful, achieving status as a high ranking official of River City within a span of just a few years. She had a deep love, but being unable to endure the harsh reality of life, she left. He had also loved once before, but he had been suffered betrayal from his girlfriend and friends, he delayed his marriage.

Having exchanged a few coincidental glances with him, she mistakenly assumed him to be her blind date, and without asking any other questions, she directly inquired him: “Do you want to come with me to get a card (marriage book)?”

He recognized this woman, and holding her with a feeling that was neither love nor hate, pleasure replacing surprise, he nodded: “I’m free in the afternoon!” He had not corrected her.

As per marital business, she offered him an agreement, calmly stating: She will agree to roll the bed sheet once a week! He quietly raised an eyebrow, mouth half-smiling, and flamboyantly signed his name. So because of this agreement…

“Wife, it’s late, let’s get some rest,” the man stated. The woman looked in to his eyes, nodded, and turned off the bedside lamp. In the darkness, a pair of large hands probed into her clothes, caressing her skin like satin. It was a beautiful night.

On the second night: “Wife, it’s late, let’s get some rest, ” the man stated. The woman looked in to his eyes, nodded, turned off the bedside lamp and lay down to sleep. His dark, large hand reached up to her again and slid into her clothes, probing her smooth skin until it was then suddenly caught.

“What are you doing? ” the woman asked coldly.

”There is a marital agreement to fulfill! ” the man said, take it for granted, and then pressed on top of the woman. It was a spectacular night.

The next morning, the woman who was brimming with an aching waist and grief, came out from the study room with eyes wide open, angrily said: “Su Yicheng, you crafty Official!”

The agreement read: marriage, rest once a week!

Love after marriage, warm and spoiled.

One of the best modern drama I have read. I love how the author made a positive interaction towards marriage between the MC and ML. Why did I say so... because the author intended for the main characters not to have a misunderstanding despite the past lovers continuously making trouble to split them up. I'm happy reading it as the author pointing out that in a marriage open communication on both husband and wife is important in order to have a harmonious married life. This novel is not bad its... more>> actually good as in very good. MC is refine and graceful but if she needs to fight back she really hits literally. <<less

Feeling like I'm riding a rollercoaster man. I don't usually read novels that makes me cries cause I don't like hearing me sniffing back my tears LOL

The ML is truly easy to like, the same with the FL. Though as much as I like the MCs route. What really got me is the FL's best friend. She suffer alot, alone. Even though she could vent to her best friend, she doesn't just so she won't be a burden. I like her so so so so much. Among all the chapters,... more>> I like everything where she's in. I even cried the most in her parts. *Glares aggressively* I hate that son of a b*tch man. Ciao <<less

Wanted to give it a 3 star but changed my mind. The bad parts completely eclipse the good parts. In fact, the only good part about this novel is the romance between the MCs.

As for the bad parts, number one is the fl. This is probably the worst FL I have ever read and it doesn't help matters that the author always positions her as a victim. One of the things that just makes her insufferable is her relationship with her ex. At the beginning, it was very vague what... more>> happened between them but we are made aware she waited 6 years for him but after finding out he is married decides to move on. At this point, I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt, because I assumed the reason she waited that long was because he just disappeared and she didn't have closure. But contrary to my believe this guy actually cheated on her, then broke up with her when she asks about it (with little explanation btw), moved out of the country and then married his new girlfriend. And I am just confused why she couldn't get over this cheating coward for 6 years. But then to makes matters worse she still doesn't make clear boundaries with this ex once he comes back (and suddenly realizes she was his one true love 🙄) despite being married at this point. Not to mention the countless times she just sits daydreaming about this guy despite everything. But somehow the ex is being selfish when he rightfully assumes she has been waiting for him all this time. Then we have the countless misunderstandings she creates with this ambiguous relationship when she could literally say I am married and move on.

Now unto her personality traits, the author tried to create a passive/cold FL and failed terribly. The FL was so s*upidly naive and weak that I couldn't even blame the "antagonists". To make this more annoying, she is supposedly a 28 year old career woman yet I don't believe even 16 year Olds would behave the way she was. For some reason she just couldn't stand up for herself, she was literally being played like a piano. And in the instances when she does, it's either tone deaf and out of place or cringy. I honestly thought the ML deserved so much better than this fl. For the life of me, I couldn't understand why the ML even liked and tolerated her bullshit.

Then the fls mother, I honestly don't know who is worse. Because at least it took FL 6 years to move on while even after 30 years the mother has still not moved on from her ex despite supposedly having a loving marriage/family. It's to the point where this middle aged lady has a panic attack when she runs into her ex 30 YEARS LATER. To make this encounter more annoying, the fls father takes care of her through all this (where is his pride?!?!). I think the author was trying to potray this men as caring husband's who took care of their "emotionally traumatized" wifes and was way off the mark. With the way the FL and her mother were acting you would think someone mu*dered their entire family in front of them and not just a normal break up.

Lastly, to mention the side characters/stories, the author seemed to have only one plot point/idea which she applied to every couple in this story. She didn't even try to paraphrase. As annoying as the fls past relationship was, the author seemed to think she hadn't given us enough of that. It was literally that ×5. I honestly wish the author could have just foregone the side stories, that would have atleast upgraded the novel a bit. The side characters are made so obviously evil with the intention of making the readers hate them, just so the FL can come out as the perfect little victim that I just couldn't be bothered.

Again, the only good part about this story is the MCs relationship and I have a feeling that would soon lose its spark. <<less

It is one of the best novels I have read. The first time I read this novel I left it halfway through because well, that time it was only halfway available on wattpad, the story of Su yicheng and Anran left me intrigued, but for the first couple it wasn't bad. There was drama, bitterness, but in the end both main characters were mature enough to move forward, I like the contrast between the various secondary couples, and I'm glad the author tells their development, it deserves five stars. And... more>> thanks to the translators. <<less

MC came off as somewhat pathetic and emotionally weak. Not sure I'd continue reading this, the premise is interesting but I don't like this type of pathetic MC. I'd worry if she'd cheat on ML if given the chance since she (and the the ex) are obviously not finished with their past yet and I'm not sure she'd be resolute enough to throw scum ex away.

I was reluctant to read this at first because of the low stars and reviews, but wow, I'm so glad my curiosity got the best of me. I surprisingly enjoyed this novel much more than I thought I would. I love this kind of novel a lot. This is an adult relationship where both FL and ML communicate in order to resolve the misunderstanding. I suggest reading this novel because unlike other cliche and face-slapping novels, this novel is very refreshing. You will always be grinning when reading it. It's... more>> a sweet cute light-hearted romance starting from when they were already adults. <<less

I read half of this novel a few years ago, and I loved it. Reading it again in it's entirety has left he confused as to why I liked it in the first place. The relationship between MC and ML was somewhat forced, and they each brought a cartful of emotional baggage to their marriage. Not to mention that they have friends/relatives who also have the same problem, in that everyone seems to have very dramatic relationships with literally everyone. A lot of the female characters are s*upid for love... more>> and act s*upid, and yet the author always comments, "but X was not a s*upid lady." bit*h you are s*upid af, now stop being s*upid and annoying in front of me. Even MC towards the end became an emotional wreck and dried at every little incident that happened. Her personality was completely reduced to a crying lady. And let's not forget to mention that MC was injured several times and almost died because of ML's problems/past. <<less

It's not really that bad. It's different from other nobels because it focuses on people who are having a hard time moving on. Almosl all of em have relationship issue. But I love the sweetness that came after ML and MC overcame that hurdle.

OMG, this drama is really great! I suddenly had an interest because I saw a random comment that Well Intended Love! Is somewhat similar (not very very similar) but some concept are the same so I kinda start reading it. And I love it so much.! I love Su Yi Cheng!

The translation of @anpinguo is also better and I am having fun with her extra notes and comments! Great Work! &Lt;3 Love this so much! Hope they will make live action of this :D

As a fan of romance novel this book fulfill all of my checklist to be a good romance book: Good heroine, cool hero, jerk ex boyfriend, annoying female rival, and so on.

The translator did a good job with their work and it is very easy to read it. Thank you.

It's not that bad but I've read a lot of novels and this one was lacking a bit, hence, the rating.

The MC is just too passive for my liking...I don't generally hate passive MC but I just felt like she's too passive and boring at the same time. Male lead is fine but the usual perfect pe*verted male lead, hence, boring.

I haven't finish reading it but I think I might drop it for now and come back later when the translations are finished due to;

It's really quite okay if you can overlook passive MC and loves perfect male lead because from the beginning male lead are already quite taken with the MC and treats her very well. <<less

It's okay in the beginning, but I found there're too many unreasonable character from then on, some other characters are too annoying. But the ML is very considerate for FL, so that's good it's bearable.

I feel bad for FL best friend, to be betrayed, to miscarriage in her wedding day cause her boyfriend push her, the guy is very worthless, wishy-washy person is always annoying. And their (FL and ML) exes, are they have some issue with their mentality. Just call police, or sue them, for stalking and trespassing their privacy, but, , the story would end if they're (the exes) disappear too fast from their (FL&ML) world.

Modern love story about two people who fall in love after marriage. The ML and FL are nice characters. No as*hole ML here. There is angst, mystery and a bit of back story too. It is a very cute love story.

There are still a few questions not answered. Looking forward to rest of the story!

I like the characters in this. I love the way they act to each other making the story interesting and believable. I read some romance where the girl is as dumber than mud and I wonder if she has a mental problem (it is most of the time girls). I do hope the story continues this way.

Cute love story between two people who impulsively decided to marry each other due to family pressures. Both were betrayed by their previous love interest, but the female lead seems unable to deal with it still, even after years of separation. When her previous love interest come back after her marriage, what will she do? And how will it affect the current relationship she had? The story slowly builds up with plenty of cute moments.
