The Beauty at My Heart's Tip

[My story about mature men and women weathering marital troubles, The Second Year of Marriage, has started updating in my column.]

[Weibo: The Girl Is Called Banjie Baicai]

When a woman becomes financially independent and successful in her career,

a man is just a pleasant diversion. Zhou Qi never imagined he'd fall for her, then stay sunk in love for years, unable to get enough of her.

Su Jian opens a drawer and looks at the 9.9 yuan inside, along with a marriage certificate made of paper...

Zhou Qi tugs at his collar and gives a low laugh. "What's this? Who put it here?"

Su Jian silently takes them out. "Let's throw them away."

Zhou Qi wraps an arm around her waist and takes her hand, crumpling the 9.9 yuan and the fake marriage certificate together with a playful smile. "It's a sign from heaven that we should get married."

Su Jian: "No rush."

Zhou Qi: "..."

One-sentence summary: Su Jian spent the first half of her life as a canary in a gilded cage. In the second half, she regains her confidence and meets tech mogul Zhou Qi, who teaches her step by step how to stand on her own.

The male lead is unmarried. He's not a scumbag. Sweet and doting.

Theme: A woman entering her second marriage is working hard, too.
