[A battle of wits, a cold-faced man washing underwear, and a clear-headed heroine]
Xu Mei is one of the three golden flowers of the Xu family, born with an irresistible charm and pursued by countless admirers.
She knows beauty alone won’t get her far. She’s determined to escape her county town through the college entrance exam and rise above her station.
But when her older sister, who is on maternity leave, is told that Director Zheng Yan has sold off her permanent job, everything goes wrong. Her father is reassigned to a different shift and injures his leg working in the mine. Xu Mei’s documents are withheld, and she loses her chance to take the entrance exam.
Unable to swallow this, Xu Mei confronts Zheng Yan, who humiliates her, calling her a “country bumpkin who deserves it” and saying “commoners are too useless to do anything.”
With nothing left to lose, Xu Mei decides to report her.
Lu Linchuan agrees with the idea that “a woman’s husband becomes the center of her world after marriage, so she’ll surely stop making trouble,” and proposes a marriage of convenience.
Xu Mei realizes that Zheng Yan, who was adopted into the family, has feelings for her younger brother. To come between them, she agrees to marry him.
On their wedding night, Lu Linchuan knows she has an ulterior motive and lets out a chilling laugh.
“Now that we’re married, whatever happened between you and my sister, Zheng Yan, is settled. Don’t think about causing trouble. Know your place.”
But that very night, he gives in to a night of passion. Propped up on one arm, he says, “You people from small households are always playing tricks. It won’t happen again.”
-
Taken under his wing, Xu Mei also gets to experience what it feels like to be “the one he favors.”
Xu Mei: Your reward is falling in love with me.
Xu Mei: Here, the proof is right here. Sign the divorce papers first! As for when I’ll sign, that depends on the money and whether you can satisfy me.
Lu Linchuan: Xu Mei, do you... have room in your heart for anything besides money?
Lu Linchuan: You can be with all those other people, so why not let me be one of them? Xu Mei... you’re so cruel to me.
Theme: Life under your wing may be wonderful, but those aren’t my wings.
I really like it. I originally thought it was a formulaic novel, but it always turns out to be unexpected. Love is the seasoning, and it is more about the sympathy and growth of different women. The characters are three-dimensional, the supporting characters also have complete arcs and little thoughts of their own, and the bad guys are not purely bad. The male protagonist is not purely indifferent, he is a person who can do many things. Who knows the gold content of a king who is not just a strong talker!
I like watching it, and I'm looking forward to the introduction scene. I've seen many times where the female protagonist waits for the male protagonist to sign the divorce agreement. This is the first time that the male protagonist is anxiously waiting for the female protagonist to sign. Will update soon! !
The female protagonist doesn't get angry, the interaction between the male and female protagonists is interesting, I laughed to death when the male protagonist was angry, the family and friendship lines really poked at me, it's well written
It's well written, and I love reading it. The interaction between the male and female protagonists is very interesting, and the rhythm is also very good. Update soon! !
It looks good. It feels a little different from the traditional marriage first and love later. The process of watching it is quite interesting. I like to see the male protagonist angry hahaha
