The Time-Limited Love and Marriage

In "The Time-Limited Love and Marriage" by Eighteen-Year-Old Koi, a man selects her out of curiosity, while she accepts his proposal for the sake of sleep. Their one-year secret marriage is founded on mutual need and pleasure without love. However, he proves to be possessive, allowing himself to bully her but fiercely protecting her from others. Initially, observers pity the man, deeming her unworthy. This perception shifts dramatically when her hidden identities are revealed: a genius hacker, a skilled miracle doctor, and a deadly ghost. The public then sympathizes with her, questioning why such an extraordinary woman would marry a disabled man. Unexpectedly, the man, who had been in a wheelchair, rises and unveils the vast business empire he developed. Their talent and beauty soon become objects of envy. Yet, despite their apparent fortune, she tragically discovers she is merely a substitute in his heart, learning that love, like poison disguised in sugar, leads to ruin if believed.
