The Wives Who Fled Together

Cen Shiran is the least favored daughter of the Cen family, and the mess at the Fuda Factory is the ceiling of her life. Geng Bei is the most popular teacher at a yoga studio, but after a rear-end collision, a rich second-generation heir sets his sights on her. Zhu Weixi puts a price on her body: ten thousand each time, and she accepts no emotional blackmail of any kind. Shu Feifei signs a contract to bear an heir for a wealthy family in return for a debt of gratitude. Four girls, each pinned to the chopping block by fate, vanish together after a reunion with their closest friends. When the second son of the Geng family, the Nans' restaurant tycoon, the Xies' young real-estate heir, and the Chus' princeling all receive divorce papers at the same time, the whole circle of the powerful in Jiang City erupts. “They can’t have gotten far,” the men say. But they have no idea that the four women spent three whole years planning their escape. No one knows how they disappeared. Surveillance footage shows each of them entering a restroom, never to come out. That same night, four resignation letters appear on the desks of Jiang City's most powerful men, each accompanied by a handwritten line: “Thank you, gentlemen, for teaching us this: a woman’s greatest asset has never been her womb, her youth, or her obedience. It’s her brain.” Jiang City's stock market is about to face the most turbulent three months in its history. And this “escape” has only just begun. “Marrying well” is the biggest lie the old world ever told women. True strength begins when you admit you’re not content with the way things are.
