[Love After Marriage + Nausea and Vomiting of Pregnancy (NVP) + Flash Marriage + Sweet Pampering]A calm and self-possessed business tycoon vs. a highly intelligent, pitiful medical studentLuna Axton, for whom even a twenty-yuan milk tea was a luxury, never expected that one day she would get pregnant and marry into a wealthy family!On the first day of their marriage, he said, “We are just using each other for mutual benefit. Don't expect anything more.”On the Nth day of their marriage, he said, “Wifey, please give me a kiss. I'll take care of the baby, I'll wash the diapers! In my eyes and heart, there's only you and our little one.”Before marriage, she couldn't even afford a cup of milk tea; after marriage, the tycoon's whole family takes turns pampering her! Not only was her mother, whose life was hanging by a thread, cured, but even during childbirth, a master of traditional Chinese medicine begged to take her pulse!Some people mocked her for climbing the ladder through improper means, for her humble origins, and for being foolish and dull.Blaze Fairchild: “I proposed the marriage, I chose my wife. Don't you know I'm the one who got the better deal?”A certain ambassador plenipotentiary: “Luna Axton is my beloved daughter, born with top-tier specs in every way!”As she secretly marveled at how lucky she was, the aloof President Fairchild wrapped his arms around her waist and coaxed softly, “It's not that you're lucky. Meeting you has used up all of my luck.”

After a year of marriage, Timothy Xavier suddenly became uninterested in women, devoting himself to building a Buddhist altar in the villa, with Buddha Beads never leaving his hand.No matter how much I tried to entice him, he remained indifferent, completely unmoved.One night, I stood outside the bathroom door, watching him release his emotions towards a photo of another woman.It turns out, Timothy was not unfeeling; he was just unfeeling towards me.I deceived him into signing the divorce agreement and disappeared from his world completely.Yet I heard, he went crazy looking for me!We met again at his uncle's wedding. I was dressed in a white wedding gown, but his eyes turned red, and he could not bring himself to call me 'aunt'!

On the day of her wedding, Ivy Quinn vanishes, leaving behind only a note: “I’m sorry, I can't marry a blind man.”To protect her son from heartbreak, Elizabeth Winters strikes a desperate deal—Ruby, Ivy’s identical twin, must take her sister’s place at the altar. Trapped by duty and family pressure, Ruby agrees, believing it will only last until Stefan’s eyesight is restored.But from the moment they marry, Stefan senses something is different about his “wife.” The woman beside him is nothing like the shallow fiancée he once knew. She’s sharp, resilient, and understands his business in a way Ivy never did. Against all odds, he falls harder than ever for this new version of her.And Ruby? She never expected to fall in love with a man who was never meant to be hers.But just when she finds the courage to tell him the truth, Ivy returns, ready to reclaim the life she abandoned.When Stefan finally opens his eyes, will he see the woman who truly stood by him—or will he be too blind to recognize real love?****Excerpt****“By the way, did Ruby come to the wedding?” he asked, catching her off guard since she hadn't expected him to ask her that all of a sudden.Was he already suspecting that it was her and not Ivy?Ruby’s fingers froze on the door handle for just a fraction of a second.It was enough to set off alarms in Stefan's head.“I—uh…” She hesitated, but only briefly. “No. She had work. She couldn’t make it.”Was he suspecting a switch already? What must have set off the alarm in his head?Stefan hummed, tilting his head slightly. “Oh, I see. How is she, then? I hope she's coming to visit one of these days?”Her fingers tightened on the handle, though her voice remained steady. “Yeah. She would, the moment she is chanced and can come.”A slow smirk tugged at the corner of Stefan’s lips, though he kept his expression neutral.Interesting. Very interesting. His wife had just lied to him and he didn't know why.Even though he was blind, he'd find out why soon enough.
