Synopsis

“Since you want a divorce, I have to get the share that belongs to me. The law says that whoever cheats first has to compensate the other for emotional distress. Besides, I’m now suffering from severe depression. Don’t even think you can get away with this.” Jiang Xiaomei had no idea where she’d found the nerve, but she was actually shouting at Qu Mingyan like this. “You must be out of your mind, thinking about money all the time.” Qu Mingyan was so furious that his face turned green. A vein bulged on his forehead, twitching nonstop. “If you won’t pay, forget about getting a divorce. Otherwise, I’ll go to your workplace and talk to your superiors. Don’t think you’re in the clear just because you’ve retired... Don’t think you’re so clever, that you’ve kept everything hidden. No wall is completely soundproof.” Qu Mingyan opened his mouth to speak, but then swallowed his words. He got up, put on his clothes and shoes, and slammed the door behind him as he left. It seemed he had never expected this verbal battle with Jiang Xiaomei.

I'm looking for some urban novels, like Ye Lingtian and Li Yuxin, or Xia Meng and Han Dong. The protagonist shouldn't have supernatural powers or cultivate immortality, and shouldn't be pretending to be poor either. Ideally, the books should be long. Thanks!

Recommend Books with Solid Writing, Logical Plots, and Smart Characters

Those of you who call everything a masterpiece, rave about it, and say things like, “The beginning is so-so, but it gets good later,” while using ridiculous exaggerations, please stop. Seriously, nine out of ten books you people recommend are so cringe-inducing they make my toes curl and could furnish a two-bedroom apartment.
