I Rely On Acting Well-behaved To Marry First, Then Fall In Love

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

On the second day after the enactment of the same-s*x marriage law, Yan Yan, a college student, bravely came out to his parents. From then on, he lived openly, drinking, going to bars, and flirting with men, all while working as a wild, inhibited anchor in the emotional zone.

In live stream 237818 on the Cool Cat platform, Brother Yan’s voice was cold, his attitude arrogant, and his tongue was sharp. He confronted those involved fearlessly, triggering heated discussions. During broadcasts, he would tear apart scum, and after the broadcast, he would spend the whole night partying.

Just as he was enjoying the beauty of his new life, his parents asked him to go on a blind date with the son of their old classmate, who was said to be tall and exceptionally good-looking. He didn’t believe it until he saw the person in question…

Yan Yan instantly became coy, putting on a well-behaved facade as he made consecutive declarations:

“Gege is the person my parents introduced, so I trust him completely.”

“Gege, I am very well behaved. I won’t disturb you.”

“Gege, you’re really handsome.”

Zhuang Yiyun, a member of Research and Development Team Six, was known for his cold and indifferent demeanor, earning the nickname “Tubesexual” due to his exclusive focus on his test tubes. Fed up with constant pressure to get married, he casually claimed to be gay, thinking it would put an end to the matchmaking attempts. However, he ended up being dragged into a blind date.

The blind date appeared to be a sunny, well-behaved, and obedient young man, so he decided to propose a marriage agreement.

Unexpectedly, the boy invaded his life with great fanfare…

In the middle of the night, he teased him while wearing his shirt—obedient?

At the slightest provocation, he spent the whole night in bars, not returning home until dawn. Well behaved?

He took off the wig, revealing a head of golden hair. Sunny? Well, he did look sunny.

To top it off, the boy even straddled his waist and mocked him for not being able to perform.

“Who did you say can’t perform? Huh?”

Yan Yan’s lies were endless, but Zhuang Yiyun only discovered the truth after marrying him.

His husband was not only the opposite of obedient and well-behaved but also a master venomous tongue, completely unrecognizable from the well-behaved demeanor he had shown before.

Despite his cool and arrogant facade during the live stream, he would softly call him “husband” afterward.

Zhuang Yiyun was unable to resist… although the initially well-behaved boy revealed his true self, Zhuang Yiyun was unexpectedly drawn to him.

Dr. Zhuang was experiencing love for the first time, stirring all his obsessions, and all he wanted was to hold him tightly and never let go.

If you're looking for a fun and satisfying yet uncomplicated story, this is it!

A slacker university student MC enters a contract marriage with a prominent but cold scientist ML. (They both have their own reasons for entering this contract.) They chase each other in their own way and eventually end up together - that's when it gets fluffy. Both the MC and ML develop together in regards to family relationships, career aspirations, and their overall approach to life. I love it when people become better and stronger people... more>> as a couple. The story focuses on the main CP but side CPs are featured in the extras.

Another plus - the MC is a really fun character! He and his best friend have an amazing friendship. He doesn't start out with the best intentions but he really is a lovable character. <<less

It's nothing like the summary. Because I thought it would show the MC tried to seduce ML in his fake personality. Apparently things revealed in the most unexpected way.... okay technically the reveal was not in the most 'unexpected' way. But the conversation in the reveal was the most surprising one. And man... That was Refreshing scenes! Not Cringy or Awkward or Angsty. But definitely GREAT!

Nothing that would lead to harm had ever happen between them before or after the reveal. So they don't have the Awkward pace or a... more>> Grieving one.

They both (MC & ML) have splendid Character Growth and Relationship growth. Both (the growth) are Interwined with each other because both (MC & ML) Support each other that lead to their Outstanding future and Happily Ever After Life.

It's Truly a Great Novel! Chefkiss. jpg

No Evil Villain but there's moment where MC was 'kinda' like Faceslapping people who had wronged him or ML. It was Fantastic! But like I said, it was not mean to be a Faceslapping scenes.

Like the one that was related to their Family Complex. That was REFRESHING!!!

Also Love how both MC and ML had someone who confess to them, but the main important people who did it was not Evil or Idiot whatsoever. Their characters are lovely. And thank God the author actually didn't forget them and wrote their happiness in the extras!!! So GOOOOD!!!!

Anyway the side characters are well written characters.

Truly this novel is Awesome!!!

It's So Great and Truly WORTH IT!!! I'M ABSOLUTELY LOOOOOOOVING IT FOREVER ETERNALLY AND BEYOND!!! <<less

I am so surprised that this novel has very few reviews and I'm so glad I managed to find it right when the translation was finished.

Let me start this review by saying that I absolutely love the fact that the ML started truly falling for MC once he saw his real personality, otherwise I would've been turned off knowing he fell for a fake persona. It's very refreshing to see an out and proud gay character, who goes to gay bars, drinks, parties and doesn't get shamed for it. (To... more>> some extent, but at least his parents are supportive!) In my opinion it got a little bit boring once they got together towards the end but there was still something left to resolve so I understand why the story dragged out until then but still the story was very interesting, kept me engaged through most of it.

The MC is probably one of my favorite MCs in danmei, he's just so relatable with his problems and the way he acts and reacts, and the ML was also a bit different from the usual smart and cold rich love interest.

I really highly recommend this novel to anyone looking for a nice, angst free, modern day romance. <<less

The smell of green tea is so fragrant in this novel haha! MC has to be one of the funniest MCs, trying to hide his his wild side alter ego under a brown wig and fake shy persona. I laughed so many times at his antics, and at his thirsty thoughts about ML. His ranting to his girl BFF was too funny- very much gives besties gossiping together energy.

This novel really gives the best of both worlds, with MC being more the pursuer at the start, and ML being the... more>> one to chase by the midpoint. I will say that the s*xual tension between them drove me absolutely crazy!! ML slowly figuring out his feelings and starting to subtly pursue MC made me want to scream. Actually incredible levels of pining and tension, to the point where I legit started fantasizing about them getting together.

MC's doubts about the relationship and his own feelings were so realistic, and I really loved how the author developed his feelings over time. He was a very consistent character, and his development made sense and was paced perfectly. I never felt that he was acting strange or out of character, and his personality was both likeable and relatable.

ML's feelings for MC developed very naturally, and his EQ was honestly so much higher than I expected. He was so straightforward in his pursuit, and at the same time not forceful, allowing MC to decide the pace. He's supportive, protective, and overall just kind to MC- literally a walking green flag. His past is genuinely sad and reflects in his current character, while also not overshadowing his growth. Really liked how the author worked mental health into this novel!

The main couple's feelings for each other are so genuine and sweet, exactly what I needed after the dog blooded novels I've been reading. They have that kind of love story that is both realistic and also entirely too perfect to be real. The ending of the novel made my heart so warm. Really just exactly what I look for in a romance novel.

As a side, MCs mom is badass as hell, loved her so much, and ML's mom actually going to therapy was also such a power move of the author. <<less

i mean, I like the story itself, but maybe it's not really my cup of tea. this novel somehow make me a bit tired.

Maybe the ML a bit slow, and I somehow really upset about him in the beginning, but it's not like I don't know where it come from, his mother a bit insane, he basically grown up without father and his personality become like that because of pressure around him. so I more understand about him.

But for MC... somehow the more chapter goes the more I'm tired reading... more>> about him😅 well, there's part of his personality I really like. but.. to be honest, for me he is not really likeable as character. but not saying he is bad written ok? I can say this because he feels like a living person not just fictional.

but this is just my opinion ok? but the story is not bad, so i'll give it 3.5 maybe i'll read it again and liking it more after re-read someday^^ <<less

It's really good! It's fluff but there's also a lil drama behind. MC is like e rebellious type but not really the annoying type where he disagrees with everything around him. He's a cute rebellious type and still resonable. Lmao their love journey is quite funny but kinda realistic in some way. MC has no pure intention at first when he chases the ML but ML is kinda dense lmao MC gave up but that's reality lol knowing he's just for the "fun" ML would really be angry. However, that's... more>> where the fun really starts with their relationship. There's kinda chasing part here for the ML. It's not a torny part for him and gradually they opened their hearts to each other.

If you'd like to ask, there are 2 side couples. You will know later, especially on the extras. They are wholesome, I love it.

I kinda wish it was longer though, coz I just love reading it. I enjoyed it so I recommend it for those who are looking for some fluff, but still have plot.

I guess you won't regret reading this ☺️ <<less

I'll be one of the hot takes: 3.5 stars.

Premise: MC sees ML and goes "hot damn. Lemme seduce this man." ML is thus thrown into the MC's ploy of seduction and unwittingly falls in love.

Was the romance swoon-worthy? Yes. The ML's tongue (hehehe) ? Had me on my knees. This man literally said "say one more false word and I'll f*ck you against the door for that man to hear." AHHHH.

BUT realistically, did things make sense? Not exactly. I feel like the MC lying to the ML got glossed over;... more>> yes, ML was in the wrong, but the MC's og intent was quite questionable as well and should've been addressed with an apology. Additionally, while it felt like ML was constantly heading toward the road of character development, MC's character (excluding career things) felt stagnant. His communication about his feelings were quite lacking, and oftentimes I felt the relationship was quite unbalanced (for the majority of the story). A lot of the things MC did just lacked communication, expecting the ML to understand regardless. Same thing with ML. Something about the story was unfulfilling in that sense. I'm fine with imperfect relationships, but communication is the basis behind a strong, long-lasting relationship, NOT spicy s*x.

Additionally...

1. although their romance was swoonworthy, the ML becoming rizz-master-100 after deciding to pursue the MC was quite a character switch?! Like his past makes sense in terms of the personality change, but there was no build-up to it at all.

2. ML's reason for liking MC didn't feel enough. Yes, he missed the previous care and warmth, but what was the actual reason for liking the true MC?? His vibrancy? Sometimes it felt like he was introduced to warmth and care he wasn't given that started the liking, not actually unique characteristics of the MC. The development of his cold heart thawing felt so vague and unclear to ME.

Anyway, a fine read if you're bored! But not so if you're looking for perfect imperfections. <<less

The reveal was written to my taste hehe, chap 23.1

"Deceiving you? What did I say to deceive you? Don't tell me you thought I was doing your laundry and cooking for you because I'm a natural housewife? I was just paying in advance, I just want a fun romp with you. You misunderstood everything. But... I've realized something now. A man like you who doesn't understand the fun of it is not worth my time. There are plenty of handsome guys out there who want to share my bed. It... more>> doesn't have to be you, so I won't cater to you anymore."

story was overall enjoyable. Liked the extras w side couples <<less

This is one of the best novels I've read. It is a combination of fluffy and sweet romance, a dash of angst, funny moments and retorts, and a smattering of lust. I like how the author wrote two opposite people complement and push each other to change and be better. This novel not only focuses on romantic relationships, but also family, life and career.

well right on track with the title haha but yeah based on summary ML will eventually get to know mc's true self. They have their own pace on getting to know each other so as readers just go with the flow of story.l Bothe MC and ML have their own agenda and eventually they will slowly fall in love. It was not slow for me, ML has his own things to consider and he's really supportive when it comes to MC. ML is still ML-a very hardworking researcher + a... more>> doting bf to husband. MC? Good character development and he found the path for him with his love ones support. I like their chemistry and the angst/spicyness of their relationship haha

MC and ML was not tiring not like that other reviewer that sent 1 star bbut on his/her review gave "3.5 star". Pls be careful on giving stars. It will eventually lower the novel ratings, the translators did a good job. MC was =yes scheming and he did came out straightforwardly to ML after. MC was funny and has his own righteousness. He deserved to have his own career after graduating. Also goods for side couple to have their happy endings. <<less

10/10 from me. Very well written and heart touching, none of the antagonists are actually "Antagonists".

After marriage they progress slowing but surely.

Extremely fluffy after they settle into their relationship. The progress was a little rocky getting there but I enjoyed that they went thru setbacks like having to focus on work/studying and having to settle for long distance. The other CPs were adorable though their stories were short and I’m glad that they didn’t make the second love interests into villains and that they actually became good friends at the end. Ngl I was surprised at how dominant ML was later in the relationship and that was really hot lol

Ooh the stomach tingle at this part:

"If you say one more false word, I'll f*k you right here. Let the person inside listen carefully."

ML is a very good dominant alpha-type gong--after he figures out his feelings, very satisfying to read. MC is also not an overly soft shou so the balance is very enjoyable.

Initially thought based on the summary that MC would be a player settling down, but turns out he's just a soft bun who has not actually experienced anything yet. I appreciate his outgoing-ness and daring to seize... more>> what he wants, despite the softness.

The chasing, revelation, chasing from the other side, ensuing fluff and romance, even the side stories and side CPs were all executed well and a delight to read. Happily sped through it.

The only thing that felt a bit out of place was the sudden switch after the revelation, it did not seem to make much logical sense, but emotionally it's a trope I enjoy so I didn't really care much.

Wish the smut was explicit, haha. With their characters it would be very hot indeed.

Definitely would re-read. <<less

The growth of each character is real!

No super angst or whatever. The whole falling in love thingy can be cliche, but it was actually presented in a realistic way, not your usual wham-bam-love.

The MC and ML's growth was definitely lovely. The MC's life goal and self-actualization was impressive. He's not OP but became one later. The parents of MC (the mother especially, ooof the valiant beating) are super cool. The ML's mother started at the wrong footing. But like I said, character growth was amazing.

I have to say, I would... more>> love more from best buddy Lili, hear more from the roommates of Yan Yan. Our wildcat YanYan remained safe and chaste thanks to Big bro Lili, and had good friends among his roommates.

The plot despite having many holes (never too deep), successfully wrapped up with HE for everyone.

All in all, it's a good read. <<less
