Coming soon
Gu Yuanyuan stayed up late reading an old-school CEO romance. The heroine was tormented relentlessly, body and soul, in a ridiculous mash-up of tropes: the substitute lover, the unattainable first love, a contractual marriage into a wealthy family, pregnancy, miscarriage, and fleeing while pregnant.
Unfortunately, the very next day, she woke up as the heroine of the novel. Gu Yuanyuan immediately decided to divorce the CEO.
But when she brought up divorce, a System activated. As long as she said CEO-style lines to the male lead, she could rise to the top and become a CEO herself.
Gu Yuanyuan: Obviously, being a female CEO is way better!

Lu Xunyi had recently noticed that his wife was acting strangely.
After coming home late at night, he opened a bottle of 1982 Lafite. Turning around, he saw his wife in a silk nightgown, leaning against the stairwell and gazing intently at him.
"Man, you've got my attention."
Lu Xunyi choked on his wine.

He was fishing with a client. Just as he reeled in a fish, his wife murmured behind him,
"The fish you caught is so beautiful. I want the whole world to know that this pond belongs to you."
Lu Xunyi looked at the kind of fish you could find anywhere at the wet market: ...?

At a company dinner, Lu Xunyi accidentally ate a chili pepper and coughed until tears came to his eyes. His wife tenderly wiped the corner of his eye, looking concerned.
"Was it good? Don't eat that again. From now on, I'm the only one who gets to make you cry."
Lu Xunyi: ...
His coworkers: The CEO and his wife are so in love!
*
Lu Xunyi gradually got used to his wife acting this way, thinking she was simply madly in love with him and couldn't help herself.
After returning from a business trip one day, Mr. Lu realized that Gu Yuanyuan had stopped telling him cheesy pickup lines.
Feeling rather unsettled, he tested the waters: "Did you forget to tell me something today?"
"Oh, I've been so busy with things at the company lately that I really did forget," Gu Yuanyuan said with a nod. "Mr. Lu, let's get divorced."
Lu Xunyi: ????
