Synopsis

My next book will be The Spoiled Marriage. Please add it to your reading list!

The young ladies of Huacheng have envied Ning Xiao since childhood. Not only does her older brother, Ning Ze, protect her as if she were the apple of his eye, but her neighbor, Xu Linghuai, who was born on the very same day and in the very same month, also looks out for her. Nobody can lay a finger on her.

The Ning and Xu families have always been close, thanks to the little girl Ning Xiao bringing them together. The two powerful families joined forces and came to dominate half of Huacheng's business world, becoming the subject of a celebrated story.

It was only when the Xu and Ning families joined in marriage that everyone realized Xu Linghuai had been playing an elaborate game all along!

Still, Xu Linghuai and Ning Xiao are a perfect match: their families are equals, and they grew up together. No one could suit them better.

Of course, those who don't know the truth can't help making a few sour remarks. A marriage between wealthy families is just two people living their own lives. What could there be in the way of genuine affection?

As if to prove them right, just a month after the wedding, Xu Linghuai was photographed going to a hotel with a sultry beauty, acting intimately with her. Then he was seen holding hands with a gentle secretary, and after that, he was spotted leaving a club with an innocent, delicate beauty. Before long, rumors had even spread that he was having an affair with the housekeeper...

By contrast, Ning Xiao never showed herself in public. She stayed quietly at home, sacrificing her own happiness for the family, gentle and self-possessed.

For a while, Xu Linghuai's reputation as a playboy and Ning Xiao's as a gentle, self-possessed woman spread everywhere. Everyone felt sorry for Ning Xiao.

That evening, Xu Linghuai didn't get home until nearly ten. When he opened the door, he saw Ning Xiao holding a washboard and looking at him with a wounded expression. "You're so late. Did you go meet your sweetheart? Everyone says you're dating a dozen people at once."

Xu Linghuai loosened his tie and undid a button, fixing his dark eyes on her. "You should know whether I have a sweetheart or not, shouldn't you?"

Ning Xiao kept acting, shaking her head. "No."

Xu Linghuai was so annoyed he laughed, then turned to leave.

"What are you doing?"

"As you said, I'm off to step onto another boat."

Ning Xiao panicked, dropped the washboard, and hugged him around the waist from behind. "Stop! You're not allowed to go!"

Xu Linghuai looked down at her pale fingers clasped over his abdomen, the corners of his lips lifting.

* A pampered sweetheart x a sly fox with a gentle exterior

* School days in the first half, city life in the second

* Childhood sweethearts. If it's not sweet, you don't pay!

Launching The Spoiled Marriage on March 28. Please add it to your reading list. XOXO!

1. Xie Yin was born into a wealthy family and pampered from childhood. Her ambition is to be a beautiful couch potato.

When her family tells her they will arrange a marriage with someone of equal standing, she agrees without a moment's hesitation. Her best friend is stunned by how quickly she accepts and can't help asking, "Don't you want to pursue your own love?"

Xie Yin gives her a glance and says lightly, "My parents said they'll put three hundred million in my account when I get married."

Her best friend: "...Love is precious, but three hundred million is even more valuable. I support you. Is there any chance I could get in on a deal like that?"

2. Shen Mo, the eldest son of the Shen family, is cold and ruthless. He entered the company and overpowered a whole group of directors, taking control before he even turned thirty. For years, he's topped Xicheng's list of most eligible bachelors.

He's busy with work and uninterested in women. When his family tells him they've arranged a suitable match, someone of equal standing who's sweet and very much to his liking, he agrees readily, figuring he'll be able to focus on work after the wedding.

But after they marry, he gradually changes from a workaholic who works from five in the morning until nine at night to a clock-watcher who works from nine to five. He can't stand spending even one extra minute at the office.

A friend teases him, "You're going from a workhorse to a dried-up couch potato. Is the company going bankrupt or something?"

Shen Mo says meaningfully, "Maybe I've caught it from the couch potato at home."

His friend: Who's ever heard of a dried-up couch potato being contagious???

3. For Xie Yin, a total sucker for handsome faces, Shen Mo's looks are a gift from heaven. Their families are equals, and the marriage is a business arrangement. No feelings, but plenty of money, and she can keep living her happy couch-potato life. She's very satisfied.

But married life is a huge disappointment. Shen Mo takes her to a banquet today, a business dinner tomorrow, and even brings her along on a business trip the day after. Her game account gathers dust, her comics pile up, and worst of all, she can't remember the last time she watched a show that updates at ten in the evening!

Finally, one day, Xie Yin can't take it anymore. "Shen Mo, let's get divorced. Being married isn't fun at all!"

Shen Mo casually loosens the tie around his neck. "Be good. Today, let's play a fun new game."

Xie Yin: "..."

This couch potato just wants to lie flat, not play games!!!
