Synopsis

Jade must be carved to become a work of art, and a man must be beaten to amount to anything. On the male lead’s very first day of school, he gets pummeled! The four school bullies, led by rich heir Du Ziheng, make trouble for him at every turn, picking on and tormenting him. Though the female lead is a wealthy heiress who has already been promised in marriage to the second male lead, she is fiercely protective of the poor male lead. This only makes her fiancé, Du Ziheng, even more jealous. Set first in an elite private school before moving into the city and the workplace, the novel tells a tale of rivalry and romantic competition.

Somehow, the male lead gets dragged into being the female lead’s best friend, sneaks into her engagement party, and even helps “kidnap” the bride. Meanwhile, his father is a modern-day Chen Shimei: he once abandoned his devoted wife to climb the social ladder, then used his own abilities to join the board of Shao Group and replace his father-in-law. Later, he tracks down the son he abandoned years ago, the male lead, and helps him rise to power alongside the female lead, becoming a domineering CEO. The male lead successfully sabotages the female lead’s engagement to the second male lead, and the two of them elope together. Later, the female lead puts on a show of suffering and falsely claims to be pregnant before marriage to pressure her family, allowing the male lead to marry into the Zhan family. His life as a live-in son-in-law doesn’t seem easy: his wife, spoiled since childhood, abuses and bullies him, and his mother-in-law looks down on him at every turn. See how he grits his teeth, overcomes every obstacle, and ultimately wins the affection of his mother-in-law, Aili!

Any Good Modern Romance Novels?

I want a romance where they both choose each other. The male lead should be strong and the female lead shouldn't be weak, but she doesn't have to be a career powerhouse. It could be an age-gap romance with a younger man or an older guy 🤣

Modern Sweet Romance with a Devoted Couple: Both Leads’ First Love!!!

I want a strong female lead. Entertainment-industry stories or ones where she transmigrates into a book are both fine. Her family background can be rich or poor, but she absolutely must have a secret identity and a cocky personality, including in front of the male lead. I don't like cute, clingy female leads. The male lead must be rich, and his secret identity can't be more impressive than hers.

Waiting for Sweet Modern Romance Stories

I've been in the mood for modern romance novels. Any recommendations without the heroine getting drunk and instantly turning into a naive, airheaded girl? Little to no rivalry between women, and nothing too brainless. I'd like both leads to be each other's only partners, and the fewer side couples the better. Too many supporting characters really ruin the reading experience.
