Oh it's arranged marriage... Again

Oh it's arranged marriage... Again
Combination of arranged marriage/marriage of convenience/flash marriage that I have read. 

Marriage first then love later is also one of my favorite tropes. The journey of how they blur the line between stranger and lovers 'lis quite funny and sweet.

Please follow the list if you have the same weird taste and do tell if you have recommendations.

***Sorry. I'm boring so NO Yaoi, Yuri nor harem.

    最深念想 / Deepest Thoughts

    Author: Mu Yi / 作者:慕义

    7 years age gap

    SYNOPSIS

    [1 ] When she was sixteen years old, Tan Mo met Xie Qichen for the first time. The boy stood under the camphor tree in white clothes and black trousers, with a clear face and a gentle smile in his eyes as he looked at her.

    Her heart beats like a deer, but the other person always took care of her as a sister. The secret love was too sour, so she chose to give up.

    Many years later, when she grew up, Xie Qichen was already at the center of Vanity Fair. It was rumored that he was ruthless and ruthless in the shopping mall, and that no woman could get close to him.

    When they met unexpectedly, others asked about their relationship. She avoided someone's vague gaze and said politely and distantly: "Mr. Xie and I are not familiar with each other."

    The man rubbed his wine glass with his fingertips and looked at her with bottomless black eyes.

    She kept her distance from him until -
    because of family interests, the two unexpectedly got married.

    That night in the villa, she drunkenly grabbed the man's tie and said fiercely: "Xie Qichen, I want to kiss you." 

    Seeing that he was unmoved, she knew that he had never been attracted to her.

     The tip of her nose felt sour and her eyes turned red: "Forget it if you don't let me..."

    She wanted to leave, but was pulled into her arms forcefully.

    Xie Qichen was tortured crazy by her. He raised the corners of his lips and looked directly at her with a pair of black eyes as hot as fire.

     He felt sad and ridiculous: "Tan Mo, you really can't feel how much I care about you?"

    [2]
    Protector of the Tan family used the adopted Tan Mo as a bargaining chip to get married. After the marriage, everyone said that Mr. Xie would never look at her.

    At a certain banquet, the husband and wife attended together and talked very little. Everyone lamented that the two of them seemed to be inseparable.

    At the end of the exchange of cups, Tan Mo was blowing the air outside.

    Everyone saw the man who had been clinging to everyone before, cold and hard to approach, stepped forward, his gentle eyebrows drooped, and he used his suit jacket to protect her in his arms, and gentleness fell on her forehead. Kiss:
    "Let's go, let's go home."

    Later, everyone knew that in this marriage, Xie Qichen was the one who loved her so much that he only wanted to have her until death.

    "Everyone thanks Qi Chen for not being flirtatious with women, but no one knows that he has a little girl hidden deep in his heart. He just wants to keep her as his own, sinking to his core and obsessed with her every inch." 

    [Sweet, soft and arrogant little beauty]× [ Super Sinister Big Capital]

    It is probably a story about two people who have a crush on each other and fall in love naturally through marriage =v= [

    Small Theater after Marriage]

    One day, Tan Mo saw the prenuptial agreement and complained to Xie Qichen on the sofa: " Some people even said it was a business marriage, but in fact the purpose was impure and had ulterior motives."

    As the afternoon light fell, the man flipped through a book and said in a calm tone:
    "Well, it had ulterior motives."

    Because he didn't want to hide it and endure it anymore. I just want to pamper you openly.

    One-sentence introduction: I want to pamper you through marriage.

    Purpose: I hope that one in ten thousand of my secret love will come true.

    Hey, just wanna say your BG recs, particularly the raws, that I've read so far, were all good. I'm on the road of reading them one after another. I ran out of something good to read and your rec lists help me a lot. 

    Jing Ge's works are good, since they are not shallow ones, but I kinda feel like wanting more whenever I reached the finale, lol. Nevertheless, they are worth to read.

    Thank you for providing the chinese titles/authors!

    There is wind blowing / 有风吹

    Author:Duo Zhi / 朵枝

    **It's really funny that she can't recognize her own husband even with ML throwing a lot of hints. She'll just answer, "Oh what a coincidence, it's the same as my husband!" or " I seem to have similarities with your wife". Due to his pride, he did not deliberately say that HE IS HER HUSBAND and being interrupted everytime he tried to tell her his name, he finally gave up and say, "I'll just see her reaction once I come home."

    In order to cope with the family's urging marriage, Gu Shiyun went on a blind date in a fit of anger, and randomly picked a good young man with a good root and Miaohong.

    As a result, as soon as the certificate was finished, the man was urgently recalled to the army that afternoon. Gu Shiyun didn't even remember what her husband looked like.

    The man left for two years. Because of the special task, he didn't have a single photo or make a phone call. Gu Shiyun spent two years in peace and beauty. This kind of life of waiting for her husband's salary to come into the account without having to take care of the children can be said to be sober in the world, and it is not too chic to live.

    Until one day, an earthquake disaster occurred in a certain place in the southwest. As a frontline medical staff, she rushed to the battlefield as soon as possible.

    When the aftershock came, Gu Shiyun had no time to evacuate, and was buried under a mud house, and was dug out by an airborne army dog ​​after waiting for two days and two nights.

    After recovering from recuperation, she took the can of meat to thank the military dog. The man standing behind it gave her a careful look without changing his face: "I am the captain of the air force rescue team this time, Cheng Yun."

     "Thank you, Captain Cheng." Gu Shiyun was moved to tears: "What a coincidence, the pronunciation of your name is exactly the same as my husband's."

    Cheng Yun clenched his fists, covered the scars on his hands, walked to her side, and said word by word: " Doctor Gu, have you ever thought that there is such a possibility that I am your husband?"

    Gu Shiyun:?

    The devil's weakness / 魔鬼的软肋

    Author:The Jade Temple Man / 玉寺人 (Same author as Mad Dog and Pain)

    Gu Zhi had a golden spoon in her mouth since she was born, and was pampered and grown up. The princess has a wanton and indulgent temper, but before graduating from university, her family fell into ruin.

     The young master Fu Qingxu asked to pay off the debt with her body.

    Fu Qingxu is a disabled person who can only used a wheelchair, and a sick child who is said to not live until thirty years old.

    But when Gu Zhi met her future husband on the wedding night, what she saw was a young master in a suit and leather shoes, with a gentle face and full of luxury, sitting in a wheelchair and looking at her coldly. Gu Zhi looked at him lightly trembling.

    In the days after marriage, Gu Zhi realized what the life of a "lady" is. If there is too much money, there is nowhere to spend it. Even if she loses her freedom, her boss and husband treat her indifferently.

    At a young age, Gu Zhi was the first to experience the feeling of being a widow.
    She couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed to Fu Qingxu: I can't take it anymore, divorce!

    The latter didn't even move his brows when he heard this, and only asked in a cold voice: What's the trouble?

    Gu Zhi was angry: Who made a fuss, you can't satisfy Miss Ben, divorce!

    Hearing this, Fu Qingxu raised his eyebrows and looked up at her——

    Fu Qingxu: Zhizhi, you are only in your early twenties, and you haven't reached the time when you can act like a wolf or a tiger.

    Gu Zhi: "..."

    Flaming Day / 焰焰白日

    作者︰有厭 / author: You Yan

    No one would believe that Yuan Xun would marry Tan Ga. It's not that Tan Ga has too much dark history, but that Yuan Xun is ascetic and cold-hearted, and has no room for anything other than experimental equipment, let alone a lover.

    Therefore, Tan Ga had no hope for his married life, thinking that it would be an accident.

    But the fact is -

    Yuan Xun knows that she is insecure and will report that she is safe anytime and anywhere. He knows that she will lose her temper when hungry and will bring food no matter how busy she is.

    Life after marriage is unexpectedly harmonious.

    To use Tan Ga's later words to describe it, her mother had never been so devoted to her.

    But when Tan Ga was in high school, Yuan Xun rejected his indifferent expression and always maintained a sober persona.

    On the day after signing the divorce agreement, Tan Ga made an appointment with a group of friends to make a plan to go to the Northwest, and arranged a full schedule.

    When Yuan Xun came to find her, he saw her talking and laughing with the man who was traveling with her.

    "My ex-husband? He's handsome and rich, and he's very good to me."

    "Then why did you divorce?"

    Tan Ga smiled meaningfully: "Guess."

    Not far away, Yuan Xun, who had been spread rumors, lowered his head and looked at himself .

    Later, Yuan Xun's secret love was exposed, and Tan Ga realized that this was not an accident, but a story.

     The main CP is marriage first and love later: a problem girl who is arrogant and can act coquettishly (Tan Ga) x an affectionate but scheming top student (Yuan Xun)

    One-sentence synopsis: Rivals marry first and fall in love later

    Purpose: Only by moving forward courageously can you be invincible for your dreams!

    Just Getting Married / 结婚而已

    Author/ 作者:蒋牧童

    **"I once ran towards the moon with all my strength, and now, the moon has finally fallen into my palm."
    ML really sets the bar too high. He heard her say (not to him directly but to someone else) "So I hope you can stand high enough in the future, so that I can always hear your name." so he worked hard, founded Qiyu, and said, "Now she has not only heard my name, she has also become my wife." Ahhhhhhhhh**** As one of the readers said, "what else can this kind of love do besides envy?"

    SYNOPSIS:

    After learning that the old couple living in the sky-high-priced small bungalow next door were looking for a blind date for their grandson, Cheng Li stopped the young man by some mistake.

    Looking at the lazy handsome face of the other party, Cheng Li raised her head and straightened her chest: "I heard that you are going on a blind date. It is better to find someone familiar than someone you know. We are all high school classmates. What do you think of me?"

    Rong Qi, who had been silent for the whole time, looked at Cheng Li, who was being courted by a male classmate next to him, and suddenly said, "What about you, wife."

    Cheng Li: "..."

    In an instant, everyone looked at the two people who were supposed to be incompatible with each other.

    —No one knows how long Rong Qi has been waiting for his wife who made this bold statement.
