I Never Dare Forget You [Showbiz]

This novel is also known as How Do I Stop My Wife from Divorcing Me?

1.

Jiang Nian is fair-skinned, beautiful, and a good actress, but no matter what, she just can't become famous.

Once, she and someone else trended together because CP fans edited a video of them.

Netizen 1: How dare you try to ride President Yan's coattails. I respect your audacity, but I'm announcing on his behalf that you're finished.

Netizen 2: @Mingzhen Group Someone's using you for publicity.

Netizen 3: Gross. I've seen this kind of self-promoting act to get famous so many times. Jiang Nian, get out of show business.

Faced with a flood of haters, Jiang Nian slammed down her mouse. "Which idiot paid for this publicity campaign?"

The culprit beside her raised his eyelids and calmly replied, "I did."

...?

Later, one night, Jiang Nian livestreamed to promote her new show.

Someone strolled over with long, elegant strides and handed her a glass of milk. The wedding ring on his left ring finger appeared on camera.

Weibo exploded.

2.

Yan Mingzhou is distinguished and mysterious, aloof and indifferent. He never has dating rumors or hobbies, and is only devoted to work.

The media call him a financial tycoon who isn't in show business but could rival any top-tier star in popularity.

And yet...

His wife, Jiang Nian, married to him in a contract arrangement, handed him divorce papers one day.

At that, Yan Mingzhou narrowed his eyes ever so slightly, without changing expression.

I'm terrible at writing blurbs, but anyway, the couple is:

A chaste financial tycoon x a refined actress who's desperately short of money

Zhuang Shulu was abandoned at an orphanage as a child, then adopted by the He family, who brought her into a world of wealth and luxury she had never dared to imagine.

The wealthy believe in Buddha, and Zhuang Shulu was brought in as a tool to turn their luck around.

Many looked down on her, telling her to be content and forbidding her from coveting the family fortune or the title of wife to the head of the He family.

Zhuang Shulu only wanted to grow up in peace, speak and act with care, and endure quietly while knowing her place.

Whenever she saw the man in a position of power, Zhuang Shulu would lower her eyes and respectfully address him as "Fourth Brother."

He Yanting, the fourth young master of the He family, was ruthless and uninterested in women. He was the youngest head of a wealthy family.

In Zhuang Shulu's eyes, he was the kindest, most gentle person.

In a corner unknown to anyone else, he was the only one who ever asked about her studies.

-

Spring nourished her blossoming beauty. When the young woman, now grown into a striking beauty, walked beneath the eaves with an umbrella, she was breathtaking.

The He family's youngest master, accustomed to a life of indulgence, began pursuing Zhuang Shulu, while the elders used moral pressure to make her give in.

One day, as rain poured down,

the driver pulled up at the entrance. "Should Fourth Young Master keep waiting?"

The man slowly wiped his glasses, his expression distant and cold. "Of course. She has nowhere else to turn but to me."

Just as he expected, Zhuang Shulu ran over to stop his car. She looked as if she'd just been crying, her eyes full of misery. "Please help me, Fourth Brother."

He Yanting lowered the window, his voice calm and distant. "How?"

Zhuang Shulu didn't have time to think. "Be my boyfriend."

-

Later, Zhuang Shulu saw an old photo of herself in a blue-and-white school uniform in He Yanting's worn wallet and furtively stole it.

He Yanting found her after she'd deliberately distanced herself from him. He took off his glasses and closed in on her, step by step. "Shushu, I think you've mistaken me for someone far too kind."

The ongoing novel next door, Wang Yan Jiao, is currently being serialized. It features coercive pursuit, a breakup and reunion, and an unconventional chase-back romance. Here's the blurb.

When Xi Yan married Bo Wangjing, his eyes were a desolate wilderness.

He was always distant, going through the inevitable milestones of life with her in the same detached way.

Four words summed up their marriage perfectly:

Together in appearance, apart at heart.

But Xi Yan didn't care.

Later, someone from Bo Wangjing's past appeared by his side, accompanying him everywhere.

She gathered up her broken heart and left him without hesitation.

-

Bo Wangjing, head of the Bo Group, was born a privileged heir. Proud and cold, he had a hidden pain from his youth that no one knew about.

To him, his time with Xi Yan had been nothing more than an ordinary, failed marriage.

Only later did Bo Wangjing realize that she was the old remedy he'd searched everywhere for, the one who had once given him a precious hope of life amid the ruins.

-

After the divorce, Xi Yan forgot him completely and got her life back on track.

Then a lawsuit threw her entire family into turmoil.

Forced to bend her pride and seek help from the powerful man, she looked at him with empty eyes, no longer feeling anything for him. "I thought that even if we couldn't stay together until old age, we could at least part on good terms and call it a happy ending."

Half of Bo Wangjing's face was shrouded in darkness. He bent down to wipe away her tears and forcefully lifted her chin. "A lifetime is so long. What are we going to do if you start hating me already?"
