I, Su Xiaonuan, had wanted to be a devoted wife, until my husband caught the eye of a jewelry tycoon worth tens of billions.
The moment the divorce papers landed in my hands, I activated the [Inner Thoughts and Gossip System], and the world became deafeningly noisy.
I heard the rich woman’s thoughts: "This young man’s acting is so cringey, but his wife’s miserable look is practically my muse! Every time I look at her, my designs gain another touch of beautiful heartbreak!"
I heard my husband’s inner thoughts: "When is that rich woman finally going to pay up? Pretending to be devoted is exhausting, but I’ll put up with it for financial freedom!"
I heard the gossip-loving neighbor: "Fight! Fight! If I film this and post it as a short video, it’s definitely going viral!"
So while everyone waited for me to fall apart, I held on to my sky-high "breakup settlement," listened to the thoughts of everyone online, and opened an "Emotional Healing (Gossip) Studio."
Every big scene between my ex-husband and the rich woman became a top case study and source of inspiration for my studio. My ex-husband thought I was forcing a smile; the rich woman thought my heart was shattered.
In reality, I counted my money and grumbled: "Tsk, the acting in this scene has gone downhill. Pay up, and pay up more!"
Later, I became the hottest emotional expert around, as well as the biggest investor in the "gossip business."
My ex-husband came to his senses and got on his knees, begging to get back together. I pointed to the new sports car I’d just picked up downstairs. "Sorry, my new boyfriend isn’t very good at pretending to be broke."
The rich woman came to see me with the new jewelry she’d designed for me. "Girl, you’re the only choice for next season’s ambassador! I’ll cover the penalty fee for your ex-husband’s part!"
