Miss Wen Is Hard to Woo

[My current serial, A Confession in Jinggang, is a chase-your-wife-to-the-crematorium story. Visit my profile to find it. Muah~] 1 After losing her memory, Wen Ning, a minor actress, discovers that she has left the entertainment industry and had an indescribable relationship with some mysterious big shot. The big shot is young, handsome, cool, and abstinent. He's the unattainable man all the socialites most want to win over. Hoping for an amicable breakup, Wen Ning deliberately pushes all his buttons. She wears the sexiest dresses, brazenly sits on his office desk, and calls him "big brother." The man watches her for a few seconds, a hint of amusement in his unfathomable eyes. Then he unhurriedly straightens her short skirt. "Go home and wait for me, big brother. The soundproofing here isn't good." Wen Ning: "..." 2 Later, Wen Ning finds out that she had secretly married someone long ago. She's a little annoyed, but mostly happy, so she makes their relationship public. Before long, her memories return, and she remembers the secret she uncovered. She insists on getting a divorce. The public is in an uproar. Even the people around them can't figure out why they divorced. Until one night, the upper circles of Haicheng are shocked: the Lu family patriarch, known to the public for his proud, cold demeanor, changes his WeChat name to "Pure College Boy"! Everyone understands: the Lu family patriarch has a little temptress, a female college student, who's boldly claiming him as her own. - At a gathering, someone close to him bravely asks Lu Yancheng, "Why didn't you bring your little temptress along?" He doesn't deny it. Glancing toward the corner, he answers with a carefree, open expression, "I'm still pursuing her." The other person makes a sarcastic remark on Wen Ning's behalf. "College girls these days sure are something." Lu Yancheng frowns. "What college girl?" Wen Ning suddenly looks up. Her flirtatious, smiling eyes sweep across the crowd, and she looks straight at him as she says, "She's a divorced actress." Wen Ning's fingers stiffen, and she accidentally switches the game she was playing over to Weibo. [Wen Ning V: Want to raise a virtual husband with me? My favorite is the pure college boy, XX. What about you?] Ten minutes later, the whole story is exposed, and the internet is flooded with PDA. 3 For a long time, Wen Ning thinks their relationship is like industrial sugar: sweet, but not intense or profound, something she can only settle for. Later, she discovers the other side of that secret. It bears a photo of her as a teenager, with strong yet youthful handwriting beneath it: I am destined to lose myself in you. * Reader's guide: 1.

Synopsis below 1 After returning to China, Ming Yao finds that nothing is going her way. First, she goes from being the heir to the Ming family to a discarded pawn, fobbed off with a small company on the verge of bankruptcy. Second, her first love cheats on her with her cousin. The day Ming Yao goes to lie in wait for an investor, the scumbag sends her a message: "Don't make a fuss. Be good and wait for me." Her pure-white-lotus of a cousin follows up by delivering a wedding invitation. "Sis, I know you're hurting. It's okay if you don't come." "Sis, you'll put the greater good first and won't ruin the alliance between our families, right?" Furious, Ming Yao storms straight into the investor's office. The young man raises his peach-blossom eyes slightly. He looks a little like the scumbag, but he's so handsome that the two are worlds apart. Ming Yao's heart stirs, and she comes up with a rather sly idea. 2 Six months later, Ming Yao attends the wedding with a male companion, just as she'd hoped, earning awestruck looks from everyone and a row of ashen faces from the Ming family. The scumbag's eyes turn red. "Yao Yao, why are you humiliating me like this?" Ming Yao brushes back her long hair and smiles freely. "It's not that serious, is it? You're just a little ugly, your family background is a little worse, and your education is a little lacking." She mutters smugly, "All those six years of putting up with humiliation and hardship weren't for nothing..." The scumbag completely loses it. "You put up with humiliation and hardship for six years just to use me as a stepping stone?" She is baffled. The scumbag looks at the man who has come up behind her and stammers, "Uncle-in-law." After a brief standoff, the scumbag is almost in tears. "Uncle... Auntie." Ming Yao is stunned into a complete system crash. 3 The Ming family is a complete mess. Ming Yao is a little embarrassed, but overall satisfied, and plans to cut ties once and for all. That night, she is cornered in the car. The man's peach-blossom eyes are hazy with drink. "Six years of putting up with humiliation and hardship? What compensation do you want?" She thinks, It was only six months. You're way too hard to tease. Goodbye. With a sudden reversal, she is pulled into his arms. The man's voice is blunt and carefree. "Tonight, it's my turn to put up with humiliation and hardship?" #Sir, I Think There's a Little Misunderstanding Between Us# #You're More Charming When You Have That Same Old Scowl# Later, Ming Yao decides that going along with the misunderstanding isn't so bad, until a major documentary sends her a script and asks for her permission. She opens the title page. A spirited teenager's photo, taken in his teens, is printed there, along with her name and a single sentence: I want both glory and you. * Reborn heiress x aloof, abstinent big-money mogul Weibo: @Mo Bei A Theme: Passion can carry us through the long years.
