Second-Rate Goods

Writing isn't easy. A full subscription costs about as much as a cup of milk tea, and I hope you'll support the official version~

Three years ago, Liang Zhao was selling clothes in a small county town in Northeast China.

Her debut, her chance to star in a renowned director's film, and her success in the entertainment industry all came with Zhou Xianli's help.

But in their third year of knowing each other, she decided to cut all ties with Zhou Xianli.

Zhou Xianli isn't worried. Once the pampered canary is let out of its cage and learns how hard life can be, it'll realize whose side it belongs on.

He watches coldly as Liang Zhao hits one wall after another and gets turned down at every turn. She gets blackout drunk over a role in a show she once looked down on, and finally caves first, asking Liang Zhao if she wants to come back.

Then Liang Zhao turns around and starts dating an actor from the same production.

Liang Zhao is immersed in the world of fame and fortune, convinced that beneath her glamorous exterior, she's nothing but second-rate. At heart, she's still the clothing-store clerk from a remote little town: poor, fake, foolish, and frivolous.

And yet even someone second-rate can dream of a first-rate love.

P.S. HE.

Coming next: "A Perfect Match":

A Hong Kong-style romance, a sweet story of love after marriage.

A bright, pampered heiress and the head of a family business, both young at heart despite being husband and wife.

1.

In the eyes of outsiders, Ji Yuying and Lu Ting are made for each other: equally well-matched in family and status. She is a gentle, virtuous young lady from a distinguished family, while he is mature, steady, young, and promising.

Their parents are eager to bring them together and arrange chances for them to spend time alone.

After meeting, Ji Yuying and Lu Ting each think the other is a phony.

But they still get married.

Ji Yuying and Lu Ting agree on three rules: they won't interfere with each other's work or pry into each other's private lives, and they'll sleep in separate rooms.

2.

After getting married, Ji Yuying's life is no different from when she was single. She attends society balls, runs the family hotel, and devotes herself to charity auctions and the arts.

Lu Ting is quite satisfied.

He needs a wife this perfect, and one who has no feelings for him.

Until one day, he notices a handsome young man has become his wife's assistant.

3.

Lu Ting decides to move back into the master bedroom and sleep with his wife.

#The heroine seems proper, graceful, and elegant, but is actually a spoiled heiress. The hero seems mature, steady, and capable, but is actually incredibly jealous.

#These two phonies drop the act only around each other.
