After Giving Up, I Got the Juiciest Gossip from the Rich and Powerful

[A Little Melodramatic + A Little Absurd + Some Realism + Happy Ending + Ensemble Cast + Identity Perks]

Three years ago, a so-called “accident” left Lan Wuxi's hand permanently disabled.

Three years later, she gradually learned to give up trying. She passed her days at the restoration studio her senior sister had opened, and wrote a little fiction on the side. Life was going just fine.

But Lan Wuxi never expected to reunite with the first love she'd cherished as a girl... Was it really a coincidence, or something else?

And all she did was give up and take it easy. How did she end up getting front-row seats to all the gossip, too?

(Main couple) A compulsive liar vs. a little liar who's good at pretending

When lies meet lies, who will come out on top?

(Side couple) A lovesick young CEO vs. a queen of revenge

What if the chasm between two people in love is measured in lives?

(Side couple) A “down-and-out” rich kid vs. a tough little sweetheart

Can their reunion put the pieces back together this time?

(Side couple) A noble heiress vs. a gentle, delicate beauty

How am I supposed to go on living in a world without you?

A few warnings for readers: 1. This is a modern alternate-universe story, not a domineering CEO and pampered wife romance, not a typical substitute romance, not a power fantasy about a female lead, and not a typical angst novel.

2. The writing is just okay, and the story is a bit cheesy. If you only read danmei or romance, this might not be for you, because the female lead is also a danmei novelist, and one of the side couples is... In short, it's a hodgepodge.

3. Don't trust the tags. They're kind of fake.
