Pregnant Before Marriage at 39: Meeting a CEO

[Note: The heroine will have a turbulent relationship with her ex-husband, who is not chaste! She’ll only be involved with two men, and the domineering CEO is chaste!] A 39-year-old woman and a 36-year-old man + modern setting + famine + kept woman + fictional world

Nearly forty, divorced, raising a child, and caught in a famine.

These labels weigh Xu Qing down until she can hardly breathe. Once a housewife who never lifted a finger around the home, she’s become a working-class woman scrambling for her next meal.

Everyone says she’s doomed to a hard life, until she meets a man who can turn the world upside down with a flick of his hand.

He says she’s a canary in troubled times, someone to be cherished and kept safe.

But she says she doesn’t want to be a bird dependent on someone else. She wants to be a tree that can shelter others from wind and rain.

On her road to turning her life around amid famine, she not only fills her belly, but also finds the true love she was meant to meet, half a lifetime late.
