[Awkwardly acting, scheming A-list traffic starlet vs. powerful actor forced to inherit the family business]
Ji Mansheng, an A-list starlet with awkward acting skills, was widely known among the wealthy as an heiress who had only recently been reunited with her family. Three months after joining the family, she was forced into an arranged marriage and wed Shen Jinghuai, a renowned actor who had to return home to inherit the family business.
For three years after their wedding, they seemed like a loving couple on the surface. In reality, apart from being extraordinarily compatible in certain unspeakable ways, they couldn't meet without starting a fight!
A married couple may be birds of the same forest, yet even they will fly apart when the wind turns against them.
Ji Mansheng continued to enjoy her glittering career as a traffic star, while Shen Jinghuai devoted himself to expanding his dazzling business empire.
Then one day, while Ji Mansheng was taking part in an acting competition show, her husband, the second-rate actor, sat on the judges' panel across from her. After watching her painfully awkward performance, he said blandly, "It tastes like chicken ribs, sticks in your throat, and is impossible to swallow."
She exploded. If she didn't take her husband home and teach him a lesson, was she supposed to save him for the New Year?
Reading guide:
1. Primarily romance. Sweet and devoted couple. One-on-one pairing, with a mischievous child.
2. Feel free to dive in. Overall, it's a sweet story, with just a little angst for flavor.
3. No tacky melodrama, no scheming stepmother or stepsister. Wouldn't a sweet marriage-before-love story be nice?
Coming soon: "Peach Blossoms Flourish in the South" (partly set in show business)

[Sweetheart of the world x award-winning screenwriter and fake live-in son-in-law]
From childhood, Xu Taotao had relied on her illustrious family background to act spoiled and willful. Her name meant "peach blossoms hard to find," and she was known as public enemy number one among rich young heirs.
The first time she saw Bai Yunnan, a university student working part-time as a screenwriter, at a wrap party, she developed feelings she shouldn't have had.
That night, the director was quick to read the room and helped her indulge her "improper desire."
Afterward, Xu Taotao leaned against the headboard and tossed Bai Yunnan's newly written script onto his chest with an arrogant air. Teasing him, she said, "Good content, not enough technique. Keep working at it!"
On the day Xu Taotao got married, Bai Yunnan stood before the priest in a black groom's suit. Before he could even say "I don't," a pregnancy test report forced him to change his answer to "I do!" From then on, the Xu family of Dongchuan gained a live-in son-in-law, and the screenwriting world lost a rising star.
But their good fortune didn't last. In the third year of their marriage, the day the Xu Group's stock crashed and the company declared bankruptcy, Xu Taotao panicked. She glanced at her son, whose bright eyes were blinking at her, then at the man on the TV screen. The face of the number one screenwriter on the rich list looked eight-tenths like her son. What could she do now to keep riding her son's coattails?
That night, after they got home, Bai Yunnan propped his chin on one hand and tossed Xu Taotao's audition video in front of her, his gaze cool and critical. "Your acting's bad, your movements are stiff, and you don't have enough experience... But I suppose I could get used to you~"
Xu Taotao: ???
Reading guide:
One-on-one pairing, sweet and devoted couple, with personal setting changes, adorable child, happy ending.
A woman's tale of scheming to win someone over, only to have it backfire.

Theme: Beautiful love can heal the pain of the past, and the world's good things are always intertwined.
I don't know what the author's original intention was in writing this article? Want to express that scumbags also deserve happiness? Although the male protagonist is not a scumbag in the traditional sense, he is indeed a scumbag, not to mention his brother named Cheng. I was looking forward to the slap in the face of the male protagonist in the crematorium mentioned in the author's text, but I didn't see it once. I only saw that the female protagonist had been feeling aggrieved. Every time she vented her anger on the male protagonist, the male protagonist came to her as if nothing had happened. The problem between them has never been resolved, and this happened no less than five times. From the beginning to the end of the article, in my opinion, the concepts, personalities, and emotions of the male protagonist and the female protagonist have not changed at all. They are still the same as they were at the beginning, and I don't see that the male protagonist truly regrets that he made a big mistake before. Also, the way the male protagonist educates his children is just to use beatings to solve problems, and he always treats other less outstanding people with a blind eye, which makes people feel that the male protagonist's so-called aristocratic education and higher education have been fed to dogs. It's really because I'm short-sighted. It's the first time I've seen this kind of story where the male protagonist and his friends are all scumbags. At the end, I still want to say that the male protagonist doesn't deserve it. He only deserves to have his son die young and inherit the inheritance, and the female protagonist meets true love. Due to my obsessive-compulsive disorder, I usually don't abandon articles halfway through, so when I see this, I say goodbye.
Looking forward to the next one, pen refill
Dad, did you forget it? As mentioned earlier, Meng Yinghou's parents died in a car accident.
I watched it again, it feels good, very sweet
Dear author, what is your Weibo name? I can't find you
I have watched it intermittently, but I just finished it today. It is very good, the plot is good, and it is very interesting. Regarding the three views, I think it is okay~
Finished with flowers. Squat down and grab a copy! Come on, author, come on
Sprinkle flowers, sprinkle flowers, oh oh oh oh oh oh I'm about to cry
Is this the Cheng Gou from back then? I got i (the old yin and yang is so angry)
Explanation: The sentence in the previous copy that touches the world is from "Mu Xuanying Takes Command". I misremembered the words of the old man who became Wang Zengqi. The copy was deleted because there were not enough words to add the source (more than 500 words). I apologize here.
