Synopsis

Du Shi loved Meng Yankai so much that she personally embodied the saying, “A simp ends up with nothing.”

After Meng Yankai’s childhood sweetheart married someone else, Du Shi got her wish and became Mrs. Meng. After the wedding, she foolishly believed that if she had his body, she would eventually win his heart.

Then his childhood sweetheart got divorced, and Du Shi’s marriage came to an end.

The last image of Du Shi in the public eye was of her, eight months pregnant, being helped onto the film festival’s award stage by a highly respected veteran. She was the center of everyone’s attention.

She chose to marry and have a child at the height of her career, then quickly disappeared from public view after winning the Best Actress award. Her Weibo page went untouched for three years.

Three years later, Du Shi returned with a new film. At the press conference, reporters pressed her about recent online speculation: “We’ve heard you and your husband are divorced. Who has custody of the child?”

Du Shi replied calmly, “I don’t have a child.”

“Nothing” included that child.

It was nothing more than a carefully plotted deception, designed for her long ago.

Any Worthwhile Romance Novels with a Levelheaded Female Lead, Solid Logic, and No Naive Goody-Two-Shoes?

Looking for good romance novels with coherent, logical plots. I don't want unrealistic stories where the male lead's company somehow accounts for 65% of the world economy. The female lead shouldn't be a naive, simpering doormat or a scheming two-faced social climber. She should be a woman with a mind of her own.

It feels like this is a story where the male and female supporting characters steal the roles of the male and female leads. If the main characters were Meng Jingsheng and Ye Yanqing, it would be a completely different story... But I have to say it's very good, I love this kind of female lead!! Her emotional intelligence and IQ are both high... Neither humble nor saintly.

The story is wonderful and very touching. I especially love the scenes where the female and male leads bicker and tease each other—so sweet and romantic! 😊 Author, please update soon! I really want to see more of their sweet moments! (´-ω-`) Update soon! I know the story's development will be very exciting.

It's a really good read; the writing is excellent. It's been a long time since I've read a novel with such a well-developed plot and mature writing style. I quite like the female lead's personality.

So why does such a good book go unread?

Can you please update once a day? Updating only once every ten days or so is so hard to endure!

The author writes so well! It feels like a modern-day palace drama, with the conspiracies and motives described so vividly. Author, please update soon! I really want to see the ending!

I just finished reading another work by the same author. The characters (Jiang Ruo, Lu Huaishen) are particularly well-written, with vibrant colors and lively personalities.

The author has laid out a very large web, making this novel feel incredibly complex and mind-bending. Every time I get a clue, the following plot twists completely overturn it, leaving me constantly wondering who the real mastermind is.

The plot unfolds slowly, so be patient. The author's writing is excellent, the characters are well-developed, and the details are meticulously described. It's definitely worth reading!
