My novel next door, The Fish in Her Bathtub [Marriage Before Love], would love a spot on your reading list!
I:
Duan Fucheng, CEO of Zhouji and known as a Chinese business titan, is aloof, refined, and cold-hearted. Countless wealthy young women dream of winning him over.
Yet even a man as distinguished as Mr. Duan has no choice but to submit to his mother's matchmaking circuit.
Mahjong parlor.
Duan's mother eagerly nudges the woman sitting beside her. "Hey, Xiao Tang, what do you think of this young man?"
The woman wears a black, strappy Chanel-style dress and pearl earrings.
Her long, pale legs are crossed beneath her skirt, and one toe lazily swings her high heel. She looks languid and alluring.
After a long pause, Duan Fucheng finally hears her sincere, unhurried reply:
"The guy's not much, either. His mahjong skills are a complete mess..."
II:
Tang Ni is the daughter of Shecheng's richest family. She's laid-back and beautiful, and her mahjong skills are incredible. The young masters are all hopelessly in love with her.
But after the hotel where the heiress works is acquired by Zhouji, nobody dares go near her anymore.
Executive introductions.
Tang Ni looks at the boss she'd once mercilessly mocked for his mahjong skills, and figures she's doomed.
She forces herself to reach out her hand, doing her best to smile. "Mr. Duan, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Sure enough, the man doesn't take her hand.
"How much of a pleasure?"
He leans in, suddenly drawing closer, a faint smile on his lips and a low, husky voice.
"Are you happy to see me, or happier to win at mahjong?"
"Wild, unstoppable rich girl × immaculate hotel tycoon"

Also known as The Gentlemanly Masked Husband Who Tempts Me to Cheat Every Night, The Capital City's Heir and His Self-Inflicted Cuckolding, and The Night I Invited My Wife to Cheat On Me
As the eldest daughter of the You family, You Xia has always lived a life of being adored by everyone. Her innocent, cool beauty is hard to resist.
Nobody knows how deeply the lofty little swan longs to break free of the rules.
When her family tells her she's about to be married off to a stranger, then she learns that he's already made a grand public declaration of love to his mistress,
You Xia stews over it all night. In the end, she points out an incredibly handsome, stunningly built man to vent her frustration.
The next morning, once she wakes up, You Xia sneaks off, planning to leave at once. But just as she puts her hand on the doorknob and gets ready to open the door
"Leaving already?" The man's voice behind her is low and languid.
Though she's so guilty she can't bring herself to turn around, she pretends to be experienced. Before making her escape, You Xia drops a thick wad of cash and calmly says:
"Last night was amazing. You're the best male model I've ever hired."
The man behind her falls silent for a second.
You Xia slams the door, her composure instantly shattered, and runs away screaming with her hands over her head.
1.
The You family and the capital's top family, the Qu family, form a powerful alliance. Their wedding, joining two powerful families, stuns the entire upper class.
But after the wedding, You Xia finds fault with everything about her marriage.
She especially hates Qu Lizhou's hypocritical ways. He seems elegant and refined, restrained and proper, always impeccably dressed, and always bland and boring.
He can't compare to the wild, sensual man from that night. Just the occasional memory of their passionate encounter is enough to make her knees go weak.
To get a divorce, You Xia does everything she can think of to make Qu Lizhou dislike her. She throws parties at home, flirts with people wherever she goes, uses her beauty to get away with anything, and generally acts out. She thinks Qu Lizhou won't last more than a few days, but he remains completely indifferent.
2.
That is, until Qu Lizhou goes on a business trip one night and You Xia comes home dead drunk, then falls asleep on the stairs of their villa.
The sensor lights flare on and off with the footsteps of someone approaching.
You Xia groggily opens her eyes. Before she can react, the next moment brings a sudden, forceful kiss, more intense than the torrential rain outside.
"Is this still the best you can do?" The man pulls away, laughing hoarsely. "You've made no improvement at all, even after getting married."
It's the man from that night.
You Xia's struggles freeze in confusion.
She can't see his face in the darkness, so she has no way of knowing how much vicious, pathological destructiveness is smoldering in the eyes of the man who is always so polite and distant with her: her husband.
"Your husband isn't home tonight, anyway." Qu Lizhou raises a slender hand, his long fingers slowly brushing her shoulder. His words are breathy and hazy.
"Want to try your marital bed?"
"Let's have another unforgettable night."

This limited exemption is really uncomfortable. . There is always a card bug in the turning or climax chapter that requires payment. When I click on the payment button, it shows that it is limited and cannot be paid. It looks like I'm going to have a heart attack
Rich love does not begin with a business marriage. There are not many surprises but it is still familiar. Love comes from fate, is loyal to freedom, respects, and is equal. There is no quarrel between handsome men and beautiful women, but more refreshing, sweet and touching. The female protagonist is absolutely in the C position in the whole story, she is both beautiful and strong. Even the pain caused by her early family is gradually relieved through her own efforts and the love and protection of the male protagonist. With her exquisite and sincere heart, she solved the long-standing relationship with her family, won the respect and love of her colleagues, students and subordinates, defeated the only super villain and his minions in the story, and finally became the winner in life. The story is well written, but I still enjoyed reading it. Azhi's pen is like a trance, holding my emotions and tears, making me feel warm and sweet, moved and smooth. I'm looking forward to the next surprise.
How should I put it, it's a bit strange. I once thought that I missed the plot where the male and female protagonists confirmed their relationship, but before the plot of the relationship was actually confirmed, the interaction between the male and female protagonists was no different from that of a couple? I don't quite understand what the male protagonist means when he says that expressing your feelings shouldn't be so casual. . . Because the actual confirmation of the relationship was quite casual. . . . Moreover, there have been so many physical contacts between the two, and the two have been in the same room for so long, and the male protagonist will do such intimate things as helping the female protagonist lift her hair. Wouldn't the female protagonist find it very exciting? . . . I don't quite understand why this fig leaf was lifted so late. . . The chapters before V are really good to read, and the heroine's character traits are portrayed very well. However, the more you go on, the more nonsensical it becomes, and the more you read, the more disappointing you feel. . .
I can only say that it is so attractive from the beginning to the end. Scene after scene, it really feels like the cool breeze and the freshness of the brushstrokes. The romantic and graceful characters are all his (her).
Don't waste the past, add something fresh to this moment, and enjoy the honeyed fruits in the future. It's so good (?▽?)
It would be nice if there were more solid candies. During the ambiguous period, it always feels a little bit too high and too low. The heroine finally gave up her long-held job. Although it would be great to go back and inherit the family business, it is still a bit regretful. Finally, I really like the quirky and tenacious Tang Ni~
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I feel like they are married.
Please give me a few extra chapters
I finally finished reading it, and I'm still a bit unsatisfied! I just feel that it would be better if the male and female protagonists have more emotional pull! Can't get enough of it! The male protagonist is really a gentleman, gentle, respectful and considerate to the female protagonist, very positive energy! Some of the author's words are very funny! I like it, but some of the descriptions are too vague and profound, and I can't get it! Get the central idea of this article! There are many opinions that I agree with! Come on, I will always pay attention to your good articles!
All orders are finished, waiting for bids. Come on, remember to save your manuscript when writing in the future. Don't be a pigeon. I feel like this article has a lot of Sichuan feel to it.
