Stories by theme
The vows are already said. These series start from a marriage that exists — sometimes wanted, sometimes arranged, sometimes a lie agreed to in a lawyer's office — and open it up: who the other person actually is, what the family knew, and what it costs to leave.
Marriage short dramas take the marriage as the starting condition rather than the happy ending. The story is what the marriage was hiding: a husband's second life, a wife nobody in the family respected until she left, a wedding arranged to settle a debt. Every series here names a marriage, a spouse or a wedding in its own description or tags.

Shen Wanfu's marriage to Xie Xingcheng is an arrangement — separate lives, one meeting at the license office, no expectations on either side. She still goes to the bar when she is told he has been seen there with his arm around another woman. The man in the booth is not her husband. He is Yi Huaizhong, her husband's nephew, and by the time the misunderstanding has finished being explained a typhoon is coming ashore and neither of them is going anywhere.
She slept under a bridge for three years before she found her way back to the house with twelve bathrooms. On her first night home she walks in on the Second Young Master cutting his wrist — and tells him to write the will first. She learned that from an old man who died alone on his mat, whose wife and son then spent three months fighting over forty-two square metres.
