Synopsis
Jiang Yaoyao transmigrated into a classic angsty romance novel as an insignificant assistant in the CEO's office.
She had a clear goal: save up twenty million, make it to the end of her contract, then return to her hometown, lie flat, and retire.
But her boss and contract husband, Shen Duzhi, was a ruthless man who could hear her thoughts.
She smiled politely in meetings while roasting him furiously in her head, and he heard every word.
When she was hospitalized after a car accident, she fretted about getting her medical bills covered by workers' compensation, and he agreed to every demand.
She secretly used the “script” to help him avoid trouble, and he played along without batting an eye.
Gradually, Shen Duzhi realized that more than knowing the future, what he needed was the person who cursed him mercilessly in her thoughts every day.
From using her to getting used to her, from caring about her to being unable to live without her.
He quietly pursued her, while she desperately backed away
The cake was a company perk, the rides were a benefit provided by the client,
and carrying her to the hospital in the middle of the night was just roommates helping each other out.
She tucked every flutter of her heart back into the shell of their contract, afraid she was imagining things.
On the road to winning his wife back, Shen Duzhi brought out all thirty-six stratagems for wooing someone,
plus one overwhelming advantage: he knew everything she was thinking.
“Jiang Yaoyao, can we renew our contract?”
“Renew it for what?”
“For the rest of our lives.”
A surprisingly delightful novel. It's 12:26 AM now, and because it's so late, I've only read up to chapter 17 so far, but I still couldn't resist leaving a review. Although it uses a fairly common mind-reading trope, the author's writing is excellent, and the control over the plot is very strong.
It's a really good read. It's a simple, heartwarming slice-of-life story, without any melodramatic plot twists or heart-wrenching moments. All the characters are fully expressive, so there are no misunderstandings that drag on for ages before being resolved. I really loved it; everyone in the story is so adorable!
It's quite good, why is the rating so low? It's very sweet, not angsty at all, which I really like. There aren't many scheming or manipulative characters either. Except for those two villains with their tragic love stories, everyone else has very positive values. Overall, this is a very enjoyable read and deserves five stars. Anyway, now when I read novels, I prefer this kind; I don't want to read those where the characters' emotions fluctuate wildly.
What an interesting story! The female lead is a total straight woman. It's quite good, interesting, and the writing is also good, so why is the score so low? It doesn't make sense.
There was no scene where the supporting characters were tormented just to highlight the male and female leads. Neither the leads nor the supporting characters were arrogant, silent, or constantly tormenting each other! Completely different from other Edinburgh-style dramas, it's a great read! I finished it in one go!
The part where Jiang Yaoyao's soul travels back in time and she's in a vegetative state, Shen Duzhi stays by her bedside day and night. Later, when Jiang wakes up, he seems to have a stress response, repeatedly confirming that she's really back. It's very touching; it made me cry. The overall plot is excellent!
It's a good watch, progresses gradually, the plot feels reasonable, and there are no major flaws. Thumbs up!
This rating is a bit low; it's quite good.
It's good-looking, very logical, and the touching details are handled very well. Unlike typical transmigration dramas, it's not as outrageous.
I've been watching for over an hour, and it's pretty good. There are so many contrasts; I hope things get sweeter between CEO Shen and the female lead later on! 🥰
