Then she asked, “What do you think about me?” He answered, “You’re pretty good!” So she suggested, “How about we get married?” Upon hearing this, he wasn’t overly surprised.

After dinner, Mi Jing and Shen Lingxing went downstairs together. “You…” Mi Jing was suddenly kissed by Shen Lingxing, leaving her wide-eyed and stunned. “Don’t move. Mom is watching.” Shen Lingxing held Mi Jing tightly and whispered softly in her ear. “My mom? Where is she?” “She’s on the balcony.” Shen Lingxing glanced at a black car not far away. Seeing the twisted expression on Mi Jing’s ex-boyfriend’s face, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

By day, he’s a useless husband. By night… he disappears. Alessia Bianchi thought she married a lazy, jobless man. No passion. No connection. Just a family-arranged marriage stuck in a lifeless routine. But Leonardo Moretti isn’t who she thinks he is. Behind the sleepy eyes and video games… hides one of Italy’s most feared investigators. Secrets. Blood. Lies. And when his truth crashes into her world— the only way out… might destroy them both.

AFTER MARRIAGE Some love stories begin with a kiss. Theirs began with a contract. Sita is calm, reserved, and orderly — the kind of person who finds solace in silence. Vedehi is chaos wrapped in charm — loud, lively, and allergic to stillness. They have nothing in common… except heartbreak, family pressure, and a desperate need to escape. When both women land in England hoping to find love, all they find is disappointment — and each other. One impulsive proposal later, they're bound by a two-year contract marriage: no love, no drama, just a fake relationship to get their families off their backs. But fate has other plans. Sita is still searching for a woman from her past — someone who once held her heart. Vedehi, in helping her find that lost love, quietly falls for the very person she's supposed to be pretending with. Just when feelings start to blur and the contract begins to crumble, tragedy strikes. A sudden accident leaves Sita with no memory — not of the contract, not of the marriage, not even of Vedehi. Now Vedehi is left holding onto a love that only she remembers… And a wife who no longer knows her. Will Sita ever recall what they had? Will Vedehi’s love be enough to rebuild what fate tore apart? Or will their story remain a forgotten promise, lost between silence and memory? "After Marriage" is a breathtaking sapphic romance of opposites, survival, heartbreak, and healing. It’s about falling in love with someone who forgot you — and choosing them, even when they can't choose you back. Because sometimes, the most unforgettable love stories… Are the ones that begin after marriage. Dear Reader, “After Marriage” is more than just a love story — it’s a journey through silence, chaos, heartbreak, and healing. I promise you a story that will make you laugh when you least expect it and cry when you don’t want to. I promise you characters who are beautifully flawed, frustratingly human, and deeply real. I promise tension, misunderstandings, soft moments, and fierce ones — all stitched together with raw emotion and quiet hope. This isn’t a perfect romance. This is about two women who learn that love doesn’t always arrive the way we imagine — sometimes it comes late, sometimes through pain, and sometimes… disguised as a contract. But when it finally finds them, it stays. So, as you turn each page, I hope you feel every heartbeat, every fight, every smile, and every scar. And above all, I promise — by the end of this story, you’ll believe that real love… never truly forgets. With all my heart, — The Author

He has two wives; Elena, his first wife—a strong, independent, and successful woman in her field. Elena’s Company: An investment firm specializing in luxury real estate and sustainable urban projects. She owns several developments in London and Paris, known for her smart and pragmatic leadership in expanding the European market. Liam’s Company: A massive tech conglomerate focused on artificial intelligence and digital infrastructure. Based in London, it is one of the largest providers of technological solutions to governments and major corporations across Europe. The Major Project that Forced Their Marriage: Project Name: Lunex Global District Concept: A huge redevelopment project transforming an old industrial area in East London into a fully integrated smart city, including financial centers, residential towers, and advanced technological facilities. It is jointly funded by Liam’s tech company and Elena’s real estate firm. Reason for Marriage: The deal was fraught with political and financial risks, and local governments required a stable long-term partnership. The two families decided the best way to secure this alliance was through the marriage of the direct heirs: Elena and Liam. The marriage was a "strategic human alliance" to ensure the project’s success and safeguard their shared interests. Elena and Liam’s marriage was never a love story but a family agreement between two influential dynasties. They married five years ago for reasons of power and influence.

After finishing her work at the company, Elena headed there.

But as always, his mother and father greeted Elena warmly, as if trying to compensate for the coldness that shrouded her marriage to their son. She sat quietly in her assigned seat, lifting her head proudly, hiding everything boiling inside her beneath her composed expression.

by: 织墨 Everyone knew that Ye Tingtong was the little tail of the Shen family’s young master, Shen Minghuai. However, apart from his stunning looks, he had nothing else to offer. Shen Minghuai was utterly annoyed by this. No matter how much he rejected Ye Tingtong, the latter always wore a warm smile, clearly head over heels in love with him. During a gathering at the Shen family villa, Shen Minghuai was playing a game of passing a tissue with his mouth with a girl next to him. Ye Tingtong, who was “deeply in love” with Shen Minghuai, sat nearby, head lowered, dejectedly reaching for snacks in front of him. He didn’t care whether Shen Minghuai liked him or not. As long as this relationship kept him from being used as a marriage tool by the Ye family to marry some old man, that was enough. Just as the atmosphere reached its peak, a cold, detached voice suddenly came from the staircase on the second floor. “You’re being very noisy.” Shen Minghuai was so startled that the tissue in his mouth fell out. “Uncle?!” Shen Minghuai’s uncle, the current head of the Shen family— Shen Jin. Dressed in a tailored suit, tall and imposing, he stood at the top of the stairs, his commanding presence making everyone below avoid his gaze. Ye Tingtong put down his snack: Who is this? So intimidating. Before he could even look up, he felt a scrutinizing gaze fall on him. Ye Tingtong’s hair stood on end. This was someone he couldn’t afford to mess with. Later, when Ye Tingtong saw Shen Jin again at the Shen residence, he was carrying a glass of honey water for the hungover Shen Minghuai. The two unexpectedly met in the hallway. Shen Jin: “There’s someone in his room.” Ye Tingtong quickly understood and was about to leave when Shen Jin glanced at the honey water in his hand. Tentatively, Ye Tingtong offered it, “Uncle, would you like some?” Shen Jin took the glass and left with a remark, “Call me Shen Jin.” Later, when Shen Minghuai couldn’t find Ye Tingtong anywhere, he knocked on the study door, “Uncle, is Tingtong here?” Ye Tingtong was pressed against the door, his hazy consciousness briefly clearing, “Shen Jin…” Before he could finish, his lips were gently kissed. Then, he heard Shen Jin’s deep, husky voice. “He’s not here.”
