The author's next novel, Manman's Cultivation Record, is now available. Click the author's profile to read it.

A feisty, high-maintenance wife who can take on her husband with all eighteen kinds of martial arts x a domineering CEO whose life gets complicated thanks to his wife and child.

Shang Jin, the head of the Shang family and the undisputed ruler of Haicheng, is decisive and ruthless in his dealings. After someone takes revenge on him, he and Jiang Xin, the woman he despises most, are forced together.

Later, the two marry because of the child, with an agreement to divorce after three years. Jiang Xin sneers at their marriage: "At last, I've got my chance to get revenge. I'll make his whole family sick of me, then walk away. Couldn't be better."

And she means it. Jiang Xin refuses to play by the Shang family's rules. Three days after the wedding, she picks up the child and announces she's going back to her parents' home, supposedly for the traditional post-wedding visit. Before leaving, she looks back at them with a smile. "You're all busy, so there's no need to see me off. I know the way."

But once she goes back to her parents' home, she doesn't want to return to her husband's family.

Shang, the doting dad, rubs his forehead. "I thought marriage was a way to get the child back, but instead, it gave her a perfectly legitimate reason to take the child away. What a terrible miscalculation..."
