The female leads are stunningly beautiful and not at all like those naive, saintly types who become ruthless when they don't like you. Most importantly, I love how the author depicts the tension and dialogue between the two characters—it's so romantic and vividly descriptive. And since their misunderstandings aren't caused by a third party, don't worry, it's not too angsty! 👍👍👍

    "Shen Yi, let me tell you, you are just a pawn in my game. I don't love you at all. The person I love will always be Wenya. I married you to put Mingze at ease, not because I love you." "Although I'm using you, I'll still give you the status of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Fu family. I will never mistreat you materially, and I'll act with you in front of others." "But you must understand, you are just a pawn. A pawn should be a good pawn. Don't have any ambitions or unrealistic thoughts. I won't touch you. You can just stay home and be a stay-at-home wife." "Whenever you have free time, go back to your parents' home to see your mother. I'll always pick you up whenever you go back." Fu Chen's words plunged Shen Yi from the heights of happiness into an abyss. She hadn't expected that Fu Chen was merely using her. He still loved her step-sister-in-law, Ye Wenya.

    Reader note

    Book recommendation: The initial rating is low but will rise later. It's a 1vN (one-versus-many) novel featuring a charming, god-like, pseudo-human female protagonist. It's a quick transmigration story, completely female-led and control-obsessed. The female lead is initially quite naive and even a bit pseudo-human, but she's incredibly powerful and never suffers any injustice. There are no fixed male leads; all the male leads are either secretly or openly in love with her, using elaborate seduction techniques. The female lead doesn't need to please anyone or build up her popularity; she relies purely on her kindness and the male leads' imaginations.

He married her out of a sense of responsibility. She had seen the way Zhou Wangjing looked at that girl. Li Wan finally lost heart and filed for divorce. Zhou Wangjing didn't ask why, only looked at her with a cold smile, "Found someone new again?" Li Wan understood that three years of marriage hadn't changed anything; he had never treated her as a wife, she was just a problem he had to deal with. After being reborn, Li Wan decided to stay away from Zhou Wangjing, whom she had liked for a long time in her previous life. However, Zhou Wangjing changed his usual indifference and became obsessed with making all sorts of deals with Li Wan. "Li Wan, let's make a deal." "I'll tutor you in math, and you'll come watch my basketball game." "I'll blow-dry your hair, and you'll eat the breakfast I make." "I'll help you get that necklace back, and you'll be my dance partner at the evening banquet." He would also hug her from behind when he learned she didn't like it, his eyes red and pleading, "Like it, like it a little, Li Wan."
