After discovering that his boyfriend had cheated on him with his green tea roommate, Song Linchu decisively chose to break up. However, the roommate was not content to let things be and would show off expensive gifts that his ex-boyfriend had given him every day, with an air of superiority as if he were going to marry into a wealthy family. But Song Linchu knew that his ex-boyfriend was not from a wealthy family. Rather, his wealthy uncle had chosen him as an heir by because he had a terminal illness and no offspring due to a physical defect. When the green tea roommate showed off his gifts for the nth time, Song Linchu became enraged and got the contact information for his ex-boyfriend’s uncle. “You think you’re inheriting a fortune, huh? Well, just wait until I get myself added to the household registry and become the true inheritor!” * Song Linchu used his skills and managed to marry his ex-boyfriend’s influential uncle, Tan Yue. Not only did he eliminate his ex-boyfriend’s inheritance rights but also restricted his spending using some pillow talk. The ex boyfriend could no longer give his green tea roommate extravagant gifts and Song Linchu felt quite pleased with himself.

## My Thoughts on After Marrying The Wrong Person, I Can’t Leave "After Marrying The Wrong Person, I Can’t Leave" promised a fluffy, comedic escape, and for the most part, it delivered. It’s a story that doesn't take itself too seriously, and honestly, that's part of its charm. However, it's not without its quirks, and some of those quirks might be deal-breakers for certain readers. ### First Impressions The premise is definitely intriguing: a protagonist seeking revenge on his ex by targeting the ex's uncle, who is terminally ill, but things change when he develops feelings for his target. It's a bit of a wild setup, and it immediately sets the tone for a story that's more about entertainment than deep, meaningful themes. I went in expecting a light read, and that's pretty much what I got. ### What Works Well The humor is definitely a strong point. The MC's internal monologues, especially his nicknames for the ML, kept me chuckling. The dynamic between the main characters is cute, and many will find their interactions genuinely funny. The story is also praised for its relatively smooth pacing and the fact that misunderstandings, while present, don't drag on unnecessarily. I also appreciated that the characters communicated and resolved issues, which is a refreshing change from some angst-heavy novels. ### Areas of Concern I do have to address the elephant in the room: the four-year-old character. While some found the child's antics amusing, others were deeply uncomfortable with the way the child expressed his "affection" for the MC. I can see both sides of the argument, but it's definitely a divisive element that potential readers should be aware of. Also, the initial motivation of the MC is problematic, because he is targeting a terminally ill person. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers found the later plot developments, such as the kidnapping, a bit melodramatic and out of place. There are also mentions of dubcon elements in the s*xual intimacy between the leads, which might be triggering or off-putting for some. ### Final Verdict "After Marrying The Wrong Person, I Can’t Leave" is ultimately a lighthearted, fluffy read that's perfect for when you want something undemanding and entertaining. It's not a literary masterpiece, but it's a fun and enjoyable way to pass the time. Just be aware of the potential issues with the child character and the dubcon elements before diving in. I'd recommend it if you're looking for a quick, comedic romance with a healthy dose of fluff, but proceed with caution if you're sensitive to the aforementioned concerns.
