One day, after his date leaves, Lu Xuefeng remains seated at the restaurant table. Soon, someone with a steady gait sits down opposite him. He assumes it’s his date returning for something forgotten, but when he looks up, he meets a pair of unfamiliar, clear, and gentle eyes. “In a hurry to get married? Try with me.” **** Song Muqing, a biology professor at Z University, has good looks, a good personality, and a good family background. Lu Xuefeng thinks this marriage is worth pursuing, even feeling like he’s taking advantage of the situation. After marriage, rubbing his sore waist and recalling the possessive demands of the man in the night, he realizes there’s nothing left of the usual refined and abstinent demeanor. It turns out he was the one being taken advantage of. **** Lu Xuefeng doesn’t know that Professor Song had his eye on him from the very first glance. Later, Lu Xuefeng is invited by Z University to give a lecture to the dance department students. The lecture hall is packed, but a figure appears in the crowd who shouldn’t be there. Why would the famous Professor Song from the biology department come to a dance lecture?! A student, overcome with curiosity, can’t help but ask. Song Muqing’s gaze remains fixed on the person on stage. He’s wearing a black turtleneck sweater, revealing a hint of his pale neck. Only Song Muqing knows that beneath the fabric are the marks he left last night. After a moment, he slowly replies: “Can’t I come see my beloved?”

## My Thoughts on After Marrying Professor Song "After Marrying Professor Song" is a charming, low-angst read that I found to be a comforting escape. It's the kind of story that wraps you in a warm blanket and offers a gentle look at the beauty of a mature, developing relationship. While it might not be the most action-packed novel, it excels in portraying the nuances of everyday life and the quiet joys of finding love. ### First Impressions Right from the start, I was drawn in by the promise of a wholesome, slice-of-life romance. The premise of a marriage stemming from a blind date intrigued me, especially with the older protagonists in their late twenties and early thirties. I was hoping for a story that felt grounded and relatable, and for the most part, this novel delivered. ### What Works Well The biggest strength of this story lies in its depiction of Xuefeng and Muqing's relationship. The novel takes its time showing their connection evolve, from their initial awkwardness to a deep, loving bond. I appreciated the focus on communication, mutual respect, and the effort required to nurture a lasting relationship. The implicit descriptions of their intimate moments were also tastefully done. There's a definite healing vibe that permeates the story, creating a safe and comforting space for the reader. The absence of unnecessary drama or villains was a welcome change of pace, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the couple's journey. ### Areas of Concern While I enjoyed the overall experience, there were a few aspects that left me wanting more. The writing style, while functional, could have been more descriptive. I also felt that certain plot points, such as the MC's past as a dancer and the ML's initial interest in him, could have been explored in greater depth. I would've liked to learn more about the ML's background and motivations. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers might be disappointed that the novel doesn't fully explain how the ML knew and saw the MC for the first time, even though it's insinuated throughout the story. ### Final Verdict Overall, I'd give "After Marrying Professor Song" a solid 4 out of 5 stars. It's a delightful read for those seeking a heartwarming, slow-burn romance with mature characters and a focus on the beauty of everyday life. While it might not be the most groundbreaking or emotionally intense story, it's a comforting and enjoyable experience that I would recommend to anyone in need of a little bit of fluff and a reminder that true love requires patience, effort, and understanding.
