Synopsis

After breaking free from my scumbag husband and keeping the child while leaving the father behind, I met her... 90% of this novel is based on real life. Having grown up amid her parents' chaotic marriage, Yu Qing learned early on that love was nothing but an illusion, like flowers reflected in a mirror or the moon in water. Her twin sister, Yu Chu, was the only one who shared her life, like another shadow by her side. At thirty, while navigating the hectic, demanding world of consulting, Yu Qing found herself caught up in a flirtation. She gathered the courage to confess her feelings, only to be left with nothing but false hope. Heartbroken, she left Jingzhou, where she had spent six years working hard, and returned to Shenzhou, the city where she was born, believing that a new city might bring a new life. But fate had other plans. At her new company, she fell in love again, this time with a married superior, a man full of confidence and drive. Their relationship began with a flutter of the heart and ended in the harsh light of reality, with him returning to his family. She, meanwhile, set out alone on an uncertain road, carrying a new life within her. Just as she thought she would spend the rest of her life in quiet desolation, she met Chen Yini, who had returned from the United States. Her heart had been just as thoroughly broken, and her eyes held the same weariness and stubbornness as Yu Qing's. After losing her first love to a sudden death, being forced apart from her soulmate, and suffering betrayal and deceit, Chen Yini left California's sun-drenched shores and settled in Shenzhou. Sharing common interests and similar heartache brought her and Yu Qing together. In each other, they found something stronger than love. The love of their first halves of life had been an abyss; the affection of the years ahead would be a shallow stream they could finally wade through barefoot and carefree. They no longer needed grand vows for the rest of their lives. Understanding each other was enough to become the gentlest salvation either could find.

I don’t want either lead to be stupid. I hope the story has a warm, everyday feel. They don’t have to be rich, but there absolutely shouldn’t be any huge misunderstandings between them. Both should be pure in love, please and thank you. I’ve been reading for years, and so many authors write things that make no sense. Sigh ╯﹏╰

Any era or profession is fine, including business, starting a company, or working in a specific industry, as long as it’s treated in depth rather than vaguely. I don’t want endless domestic squabbles and family drama. A fast-paced plot full of twists, ups and downs, and reversals would be great.
