An optimistic, lively little moneymaker x a cool, abstinent man
1.
To help her family pay off its huge debts, Song Mi worked several jobs a day. One day, she spotted a beautiful woman crying in the passenger seat of a limited-edition Bentley by the roadside.
Song Mi couldn’t help saying, “You’re crying in such an expensive car. If you can’t handle it, let me take your place.”
A man behind her chuckled.
Startled, Song Mi turned around and saw a strikingly handsome man standing beneath a tree, amusement in his eyes. He drawled, “Take your place?”
Song Mi awkwardly explained, “...Let me get in and cry.”
The man smiled. “All right, get in and cry.”
Song Mi: “?”
He said that if Song Mi could cry the difficult woman out of the passenger seat, he would give her a generous reward.
After Song Mi completed the task, she smiled at him and said, “Sir, you’re so handsome. If you don’t mind, you could hire me. I can be your human shield whenever you need one.”
2.
The social elite had recently been gossiping about one thing: somehow, a young woman had appeared by the side of Tan Xize, a legend in the business world. Bright-eyed and beautiful, she went everywhere with him and never left his side.
Everyone knew Tan Xize was famous for keeping women at a distance. He lived an abstinent life, never took off the jade Buddha pendant around his neck, and read Buddhist scriptures and meditated every night before bed.
Whenever anyone asked about Song Mi, Tan Xize would simply say, “She’s a human shield.”
His casual attitude made everyone think Song Mi was just a whim, someone he could discard at any time.
No one could have guessed that Song Mi would stay by Tan Xize’s side for two whole years.
3.
As their [Contract to Keep the Suitors Away] neared its expiration date, Tan Xize suddenly asked Song Mi, “Do you want to be my human shield forever?”
Song Mi froze. “What do you mean?”
Tan Xize smiled gently. “Marry me.”
After a long silence, Song Mi said with some embarrassment, “I heard you have a hidden ailment, which is why you keep women at a distance. So you’re planning to keep me by your side forever, making me live like a widow while I fend off your admirers, right?”
“?”
Tan Xize put out his cigarette. A wisp of smoke curled between his fingers as he gave her a smile that was hard to read.
Song Mi asked nervously, “W-what are you smiling at?”
“That’s strange.” The man lifted the corner of his eye, revealing a hint of rakish charm. “How come I didn’t know I had a hidden ailment?”
“...”
[Neither you nor the jade Buddha can leave my side.]
Theme: Even when working hard to make ends meet, people should still yearn for true love.
Talking about the letter Wenzhou left for Shu Kezi, "Don't read it." It was probably not because he accidentally forgot to put a period, but because he was suffering from heart failure, so he hastily clicked a dot. An illegitimate child like Tan Wenzhou should be envious of a young lady like Shu Kezi from the bottom of his heart. He wants to drag her into the quagmire, but also hopes that she will not fall behind. Tan Wenzhou was an impure person to begin with, and all he could give Shu Kezi was impure love, so he tried his best.
Talking about Wenzhou and Shu Kezi made me cry. There is no intrigue in the parallel world. You two should love each other. Come on, stop making trouble.
In fact, people are not absolutely good or bad. Everyone has a yin and yang, just like the two of them. In this relationship, they are brave and passionate, but in other aspects they are villains. I can only say that it is very full and the characterization is very full.
Am I the only one who thinks Tan Wenzhou is dirty? He already had rich sexual experience at the age of twenty-four, and hadn't he just finished having sex with a woman when Shu Kezhi called him at the age of 18? The article also mentioned that he had numerous lovers, and Shu Kezi was only one of them that he was more interested in.
Can you please publish a book about Wenzhou and Shu Kezhi in a parallel world? Help, I really want to read it.
Woo woo woo woo, although neither of them can be forgiven, but it's really woo woo woo.
It feels like the author may want to write the image of Tan Nishizawa loving his daughter. Mr. Tan has always been very good, but I personally still think that whether it is a son or a daughter, when they encounter difficulties, they should be encouraged to get up on their own, instead of letting the son face difficulties, while the daughter is blindly tolerant. This is a bit doting.
Thinking of the bad things these two people have done to the male and female protagonists, I can't feel sad for this pair.
Mom, wow, it was so well written that I burst into tears at the end. Although it is not kind, it is love... It is forbearing and sharp, and I cried.
Thank you Yuyu for finally writing the extra story about them. How should I put it? It's hateful and pitiful.
