Her husband, Jiang Chen, had been snatched away by Ning Yao right before her eyes, becoming Ning Yao's husband. This meant that from now on, in the eyes of outsiders, Jiang Chen and she had nothing to do with each other... Although the people in her own company, the Su Group, still knew that Jiang Chen was her husband, what good was that? They were just her employees; what did they think matter? The key was Ning Yao's words on stage. Now, all the celebrities in Tianhai City knew that Jiang Chen was the Ning family's son-in-law! They all believed he was only Ning Yao's husband! This meant that no matter where Su Wanqing went or who she associated with, she couldn't bring Jiang Chen with her, and she couldn't explain her marital relationship with Jiang Chen to outsiders. They were legally married, yet they were treated like rats in the street, afraid to appear openly in public. Jiang Chen, on the other hand, could naturally walk with Ning Yao, attend any event with her, and even go home with her... And Su Wanqing couldn't interfere with any of this. Did this make her the other woman? Besides their marriage certificate, what else could prove they were husband and wife? And was that person she just saw really Jiang Chen? Wasn't her husband waiting for her at home? Why was he here? How was she supposed to explain this to him?!

   Married for three years, my wife has only let me touch her three times. Twice of those times, she was fully clothed. Last night, I tried to hug her, and she said, "If you dare touch me, I'll sue you for marital assault." I asked her what if polygamy were allowed? She sneered, "I'd rather be someone's nineteenth concubine than marry you." I didn't sleep a wink that night, and the next day I calmly drafted the divorce papers. She glanced at them and scoffed, "You really want to?" I didn't say anything, just turned to the last page of the agreement—in the property division section, after her name, were seven words: "Leaves with nothing, no objection." Her smile froze on her face.

    This is the most enjoyable contemporary romance novel I've read this year. It's a pinnacle of intellectual romance, not suitable for young readers with little social experience. The business battles are incredibly exciting, and the romance between the two strong characters is particularly captivating. The writing is superb, and the background is also quite impressive. The only problem is that there's no substitute. If anyone can find a book of this caliber, please recommend one to me. I'm sincerely asking, I really can't find one.
