[My new novel, Is It Wrong to Fall for My Older Brother?, is now available. Welcome to read it!]
Eileen Chang once wrote that a man has a red rose and a white rose in his life.
Women can have them too.
A friend asked Leng Wu, "Of the three men you've dated, which one did you love most?"
Leng Wu answered frankly and calmly, "I didn't love any of them."
She looked like someone who was faithful in love: elegant, restrained, even serene in demeanor. That was why they trusted her appearance and forgot that gentleness itself could be a kind of coldness.
Her friend added, "I bet they all hate you for being so heartless."
Which of them loved her most, and hated her most, of all?
*
When people mentioned Leng Wu, they first thought of the glory she had earned as a young star.
But the fact that she was a Chinese lacquer artist who made her name in Japan made people all the more curious about the hardships she had overcome.
They should also mention the person who first supported her: Ye Xifeng.
He was her patron, raising her up to become Jinling's brightest jewel. A favored daughter of heaven deserved no less.
Sure enough, his boundless indulgence made her ever more reckless, until at last she dared to kick him to the curb without mercy.
Time passed. She made a name for herself and was invited back to China for an exhibition.
Ye Xifeng stood above her, his features refined and cool. He saw her with a young man on her arm, smiling and chatting happily.
Not long afterward, someone pinned her to the sofa. His tall body blocked the sunset, his face backlit and his emotions obscured in shadow. "Are you really going to be with him?"
"Why wouldn't I?" Leng Wu shrugged.
Ye Xifeng smiled and ordered her, "Call him and end things, right in front of me."
After all, even a bitter couple is still a couple.
As long as they can grow old together, he has no regrets.
The person who loves her most, and hates her just as much, is him.
[The self-disciplined man breaks his principles for love]
Black-hearted lotus, beautiful, strong, and tragic + inheritor of a traditional lacquer craft
The female lead gains the upper hand over the male lead / The male lead takes the female lead by force
Reading guide:
◎The female lead's growth is the central storyline. Slow burn, with a small ensemble cast. She is proud of her talent, not insecure. She qualifies as an inheritor of intangible cultural heritage by following the proper process, and genuinely pours her heart into her ideals.
◎Intangible cultural heritage does not equal Chinese style or classical style. The female lead is no fragile flower. She can use a chainsaw to make lacquerware (Lin Daiyu uproots a willow tree).
◎A forceful romance! Don't read if you dislike that. No character is perfect. All female characters are sexually exclusive; all male characters are sexually exclusive. No unsolicited writing advice, and no criticizing the female lead. Also known as The Lacquer Garden Butterfly and The Rise of a Famous Lacquer Artist.
Theme: A mother influences a child's whole life. Promote the traditional lacquer craft and pay tribute to every lacquer artisan who has stayed true to their original aspirations.

It's rare to write a long review. The sentence "Strong women whizzed past me" comes to mind. Quanrong's mother and Ms. Liu Tang were the inspirations for "power" in Xiaowu's growth. I thought Quanrong's father was the one in power, but it turned out to be reversed in this chapter. The length of 6,000 words actually gave Quanrong's mother a highlight in her career. This treatment is really good. In the current serialized content, Xiao Wu has no admiration for Mr. Ye at all, but instead wants to "replace" him. This is very good. How can a girl who was born in a healthy and happy family feel inferior and ashamed when facing you because you are older and richer? Mr. Ye, do you think that spending money and resources can capture Xiao Wu's heart? She is extremely thirsty for power. Rather than being someone's "girlfriend," she wants to be "someone." Xiao Wu and Mr. Ye are actually the control group. If my grandmother had become a military doctor, she would have come from a high-ranking family. Although their fates vary by chance, the three generations of women all have amazing and consistent goals to pursue. Grandma aspires to become a military doctor, Liu Tang is a big boss, and Xiao Wu wants to become famous at a young age!
The mother-daughter relationship between Xiao Wu and her mother is really great! Only when I saw this did I realize why Xiao Wu was brave. In fact, she had a very excellent mother who was quietly influencing her. Ms. Liu Tang is a mother who respects her child's wishes, while Quan Rong's mother has always been in charge of him. Two children with different family styles are destined to have many differences when they fall in love.
Xiao Wu toyed with Quan Rong and Mr. Ye to the point of applause~[covering face and peeking] Quan Rong and Quan Rong are also very easy to quarrel with. The queen's loyal dog boyfriend has an inexplicable sister-dog feeling, which is why he is a disciplinary person.
Does the male protagonist have a secret? Why is it something evil?
Mr. Ye has fallen in love 🤩
Congratulations on entering V! It seems that Xiao Wu and Mr. Ye are two hunters, they are ambiguous and undercurrent [Spread flowers] Come to the three-person Shura field! Looking forward to the rivalry between Chu Lian Ge and Mr. Ye
Please continue to write steadily, okay? It felt like a very sophisticated person, and I really loved the mother-daughter line. At first, I mistakenly thought that the heroine's native family was not good, but in the end, Xiao Wu lived a very happy life. A very three-dimensional heroine, with a sense of déjà vu as a teenage tyrant. In the fourth chapter, we can get a glimpse of her character. The low morals of the common people are combined with the sacred heart of pursuing ideals. It's exciting! I really like this kind of spirit in Xiao Wu. People are really complicated to be real. Who is the prey and who is the hunter, between her and Mr. Ye?
I don't know how to describe it, but is Xiaowu's situation because artists have rich emotional perceptions, but are prone to backlash? She was afraid that Ye would trap her with the child, so she dreamed; or was the dream a fear in her subconscious, to remind her not to take it lightly?
Alas... The first love group is also very awkward, youth is budding, the two decide to move on, but they are about to break up
Ah, it's so strange. I can't see the reply. Jinjiang reminds me every time. I can't see it every time. Every time it's under review.
