Blurb:

"When you become a Best Actress, we'll get married."

Su Qingyu believed Lu Qingyan's drunken words for three years.

But when she finally won the Best Actress award, all Lu Qingyan gave her was a box of abortion pills.

"Be good," he said hoarsely over the phone. "Don't resist me."

Her phone fell to the floor. At that moment, Su Qingyu realized that what she'd held onto was a three-year joke.

After vanishing for two years, Su Qingyu reappeared at the airport with a slight bump to her belly.

Then rumors began circulating that Lu Qingyan was going back to an old flame.

At a banquet, Lu Qingyan's buddies mocked him: "Mr. Lu, how'd you end up a dad just like that?"

Lu Qingyan gritted his teeth so hard they nearly cracked, his voice practically dripping with blood. "Because I want to."

* A scumbag chasing his wife to the crematorium. No pregnancy in the years before or after their separation. Angsty, melodramatic fun.

* A nonchalant, rakish older man x an independent Best Actress

* Seven-year age gap

* The blurb has an old-school feel, and the story is melodramatic. The male lead will infuriate you for dozens of chapters. This isn't the kind of story where they make up after a little angst. If that's not your thing, don't leave a comment; just close the page and stay safe.

* Reading guide: chasing his wife to the crematorium / happy ending / a straight male lead who thinks "my lover is my job" wins his love back

Whispers

With only three months left before the college entrance exam, Shen Zhixing confessed to Chu Nannan.

Chu Nannan wore an ill-fitting school uniform, while the cufflinks on Shen Zhixing's shirt were worth three years of her living expenses.

He was like a cloud in the sky, while she was as lowly as mud beneath the earth.

Chu Nannan took one step back, and Shen Zhixing took ten forward, slowly opening her heart.

On the eve of the college entrance exam, Chu Nannan held a lucky star, intending to give it to Shen Zhixing as a wish for his good fortune. Then she heard Shen Zhixing coolly tell someone, "I won the bet. I managed to get Chu Nannan to fall for me in three months."

The lucky star fell from her hand into the dirt, returning to the place where it belonged.

Eight years later.

Shen Zhixing met Nan Qing, a dazzling rising star in the financial world.

She was beautiful, elegant, and clever.

Shen Zhixing pursued Nan Qing relentlessly. She made a bet with him, saying that he wouldn't win her over in three months.

Shen Zhixing didn't believe her.

Three months later, he succeeded.

But Nan Qing stepped over the roses he'd offered her and smiled gently. "In three months, you did manage to get Chu Nannan to fall for you. You won the bet."

On a rainy night, Shen Zhixing walked down an empty street, like a drenched dog.

Theme: Women should stand on their own two feet and live life on their own terms.
