Jiang Jian Yue had never been this speechless in her life.
On her flight back to China, it felt as if someone had crammed a 500,000-word melodrama into her head. In the book, “she” was hopelessly lovesick, had her childhood sweetheart stolen by a stand-in, then wept and begged to be forgiven.
“Ridiculous!” She wanted to drag that version of herself out and give her a serious wake-up call.
What she didn’t know was that, on the other side of the world, tech magnate Shen Yuming was frowning at the very same “script.” The book’s version of “him,” who went mad with love and ran his company into the ground, was an insult to his intelligence.
At the welcome banquet, the two “happened” to meet on the terrace.
Swirling his wineglass, Shen Yuming asked with a playful smile, “How far have you gotten in that book, The CEO’s Substitute Prisoner?”
Jiang Jian Yue raised an eyebrow, instantly catching on. “I got to the chapter where ‘I’ kneels in the rain. It made me laugh with rage.”
Their eyes met. In a flash, an alliance was forged. If fate had dealt them a rotten hand, they would team up and shuffle the deck!
So when the plot demanded they turn against each other over the “substitute,” they struck a business deal instead and made a fortune. When a vicious supporting character tried to sow misunderstandings, they shared information in advance, watched the other person put on a show, then silently rated the performance in their heads.
A tragic romance? Not a chance. They were busy building their careers, and using their knowledge of the script to crush the competition.
Until one day, Shen Yuming asked her seriously, “Can we change the expiration date of our ‘alliance’ to forever?”
Jiang Jian Yue smiled. “Approved.”
This is the story of how two “victims of the script” turned a rotten hand of melodrama into a royal flush of love.
The content of the novel is of a type that I have never read before. There are many words in the novel that may be professional terms that are hard to understand. However, Chinese people all have a specific skill. You can guess the general meaning by reading one half and guessing the other half. The female protagonist is a normal kind of robot. In my opinion, the male protagonist is an abnormal robot. Maybe girls are naturally better at loving people. The female protagonist is much better than the male protagonist in terms of emotions. The male protagonist is a highly sophisticated and emotionless robot. Both of them belong to the kind of sector where each of them is very strong in their respective fields and has very strong abilities, but they can put the two sectors together to form a very new sector, or they can separate them. The content is very short, but the author's writing is quite good.
I can feel that the author is very knowledgeable! The writing is also very good! It's so pure love to describe this collision of souls between rational straight men and straight women!!! The corners of his mouth rose crazily! Come on! Looking forward to the follow-up! 💕💕💕
After reading the introduction, I thought the plot setting was very novel, so I came in and took a look~ It's pretty good. The female protagonist has a career she loves and areas she's good at. She's sober and independent, and the male protagonist is also pretty good. It's just that the plot feels a little tight, and I feel a little out of breath while reading it? But to me, it's better than those cookie-cutter settings. Full marks 💯!
The male protagonist is more robot than robot, super human-machine, very novel 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I think it's a well-written novel, but it's strange that I've read it more than a dozen times and no one has commented. The plot is compact, the male and female protagonists are both online, and the interaction between the two is also very good.
