Married At First Sight By Gu Lingfei

Romina didn't wake until nearly noon the next day her hunger finally dragging her out of sleep.

She'd drunk so much the night before but barely eaten a thing. That empty stomach might've been the reason she got so drunk. Now that she was well- rested, she wasn't even hungover- just a little sore, but nothing she couldn't handle.

But even before she reached the bottom step, she noticed something strange. Her parents, her brothers, and her grandfather were all sitting in the living room. No one was speaking. The whole house felt tense and quiet.
