Summary

Betrayed by her boyfriend, she is dumped for the seventh time.

She grabs a man and elopes to see what it feels like to be the one who walks away. Is it worth it?

Totally worth it!!!!!

He was supposed to have no house, no car, no money—then the three-no product turns into a tall, rich, handsome catch in an instant.

What on earth is going on?

Street racing, brawls, divorce drama—I'm Bai Muyao, and I'm a tough girl.

Pinning her against the wall, digging traps, scheming for love—he's Xu Haochen, the two-faced man.

A quirky firecracker meets a fake gentleman, and sparks fly like thunder striking the earth.

Yet the scatterbrained girl gets schemed into a lifetime commitment without even realizing it.

Outsmarting my mother-in-law, dueling with my love rival, battling my husband—I'm having endless fun.

But who would have guessed that my love rival would become my sister-in-law, and all hell breaks loose.

In front of outsiders, he loves me, protects me, lifts me up to the tip of his heart.

Night after night, face to face, only I know those are lies he tells the whole world.

Editor's review

Built around the core premise of a whirlwind marriage to a tall, rich, handsome man, this book delivers a light, boisterous clash between tough girl Bai Muyao and two-faced schemer Xu Haochen. Its strength lies in sharply contrasting personalities: the heroine is scatterbrained, fearless, and ready for a fight, while the hero wears the mask of a gentleman but plots every step. Their journey from mutual sparring to being schemed into a lifetime together is inherently comedic. Packed with plot elements—street racing, brawls, divorce drama, outsmarting the mother-in-law, dueling with love rivals—the story escalates layer by layer, perfect for readers seeking a fast-paced, high-conflict blend of sweet and angsty reading. The exaggerated treatment of marital power games and family relationships reads more like a lively emotional game—no need to take it seriously, but it offers cathartic, binge-worthy pleasure. Ideal for fragmented reading sessions like commutes or bedtime, and for fans of the 'marriage first, love later' and 'bickering couple' tropes.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Romance readers who enjoy marriage-first-love-later and bickering-couple setups
Office workers looking for a fast-paced, conflict-rich, light and stress-relieving read
Readers who love the contrasting couple of a tough girl and a two-faced man
Readers who can accept exaggerated, dramatic family-feud plots

Not a good fit for

Readers who prefer realistic, rigorously portrayed marriage and relationships
Readers sensitive to setups like whirlwind marriage and scheming pursuit
Readers hoping for deep character growth or exploration of social issues

Reading tips

Read Volume 1 before Volume 2 to understand the cause of the whirlwind marriage and character relationships before diving into Volume 2's conflicts.
Treat street racing, brawls, and mother-in-law battles as light comedy—don't overanalyze real-world logic.
Pay attention to how Bai Muyao and Xu Haochen's positions shift in each encounter to better appreciate the fun of being 'schemed into a lifetime.'
Best for continuous fragmented reading; review character relationships every few chapters to avoid getting dizzy from the dense plot.

FAQ

Can I read Volume 2 without having read Volume 1?

Yes, but it's recommended to first understand the cause of the whirlwind marriage and the main character relationships from Volume 1. Volume 2 is densely packed with conflict; skipping the prior story entirely may make key turning points—like why Bai Muyao married in haste or how Xu Haochen's identity is exposed—less immersive. Reading Volume 1 first or reviewing the synopsis to map out the characters will make for a smoother read.

Is the romance sweet or angsty?

Overall it's light and boisterous—sweet with plenty of banter. Their interactions revolve around bickering, sparring, and scheming; in front of outsiders the hero is protective and doting, but behind closed doors there are lies and power games. It's not deep, anguished romance—closer to a bickering-couple blend of sweet and angst under high conflict, perfect for readers seeking stress relief.

Are there many family-feud plotlines?

Quite a few. Outsmarting the mother-in-law, dueling with love rivals, and the love rival becoming a sister-in-law form key conflict threads in Volume 2, driving changes in the protagonists' relationship. These elements are highly dramatized—read them as light-comedy set pieces rather than measuring them against real-world family dynamics.

About the author

叶叶 Author

Ye Ye is a Chinese author writing in the field of modern romance. Publicly available information about her is limited: her nationality, dates of birth and death, and English name are not clearly recorded. Within the library's holdings, four works are attributed to her, all belonging to the same series, Du Chong (Exclusive Doting), namely the first, middle, and final volumes plus a collected three-volume edition. These titles and their category indicate that Ye Ye focuses on modern romance, developing emotional stories in serial long-form and centering on the doting relationship between the main characters; the volume-by-volume publication also lets readers follow the plot in stages. Because the available material reflects only her published works, the specific features of her style, her writing career, and her broader influence await further public information, and readers may begin with the Du Chong series to understand her narrative approach and thematic preferences.
