   My darlings, are you captivated by the "high-ranking official in Beijing's elite circles, with a refined and sophisticated demeanor" trope? Today, I'd like to recommend two related books. *The 80s: The Chief No Longer Pursues Me, Divorce with Child is Really Sweet* tells the story of a woman who abandons her husband, a high-ranking official, and resolutely chooses to divorce him, raising her child alone. This perfectly reflects the courage of women in real life who bravely pursue their own path. Do you also yearn for such courage? Watch her start an independent new life in the 1980s, feel her strength and freedom, and experience the ease and joy of leaving the wrong person. *Forced to Go to the Countryside? A Research-Oriented Military Wife Emptys Your House* tells the story of a woman who goes to the countryside but refuses to bow to fate, using her research abilities to shine and punish those with ill intentions. Have you ever thought about how you could fight back even in dire straits? The female protagonist in the book uses her wisdom and resilience to carve out a niche for herself in harsh conditions, showing us the powerful strength of women and applauding her resourcefulness and courage.

The Mid-Autumn Festival breeze carried the scent of osmanthus blossoms to her face, but it couldn't dispel her dazed state. "But... But the engagement was clearly with Sheng Yang..." Sheng Ting held an unlit cigarette between his fingers, his dark eyes fixed on her. When he interrupted, his tone was as indifferent as if he were talking about someone else: "Sheng Yang is my nephew. When your grandfather was getting engaged, I was the one he proposed." He took a half-step forward, his shadow enveloping her, his voice extremely low: "The paintings you sent to the Sheng family over the years, the magnolias in them, the little poems you inscribed—I've kept them all." Chu Shuang looked up abruptly, meeting his unfathomable eyes—it turned out that the "fiancé silhouette" she had secretly sketched for years was never the lukewarm eldest son of the Sheng family as rumored.
