Zhou Yan, a top designer and business tycoon, woke up to find she'd given birth prematurely and that her husband, the newly reinstated son of the mayor, had returned to the city to enjoy the good life.
Looking at the baby crying for milk, Zhou Yan finally remembered that she'd been reborn into a story called Reborn: The White Moonlight's Fiancee in the Eighties, as the cannon-fodder female side character who hoped to gain status through her son.
According to the plot, after her husband returned to the city, the male lead would soon run into his reborn former fiancee, his white moonlight. The old lovers would rekindle their romance, and he'd abandon the original owner.
The female lead, determined to get justice for her beloved, would then frame the original owner for adultery. Her son would fall ill and be kidnapped, and after losing all hope, the original owner would jump into a lake and die.
Zhou Yan, who only wanted to build her career: How am I supposed to survive this crisis...???
Zhou Yan only wanted to build her career and become the richest person in the country. She had no interest in following some "mother's status depends on her son" plot.
To change her inevitable death, Zhou Yan sent her reinstated husband, the mayor's son, a telegram: "I've found someone new. I want a divorce. Come back at once!"
When Shen Jingtong received the telegram, he paused, thinking she was still using the same old tricks to get his attention.
To put everything in order, Shen Jingtong returned to Little River Brigade, only for her to shove a divorce petition in his face. "Take the child back to the city. Send child support every month."
The mayor's son, who'd been told she'd divorced him and found someone new, replied, "Things still aren't settled in the city. I'll bring you both back once they are."
Zhou Yan parted her red lips. "No need. Let's just get divorced."
The usually composed, refined young master was so rattled that he forgot to go through with the divorce.
At first, Shen Jingtong thought his wife, who'd been in love with him, was just trying to get his attention.
Later, his despicable, scheming wife cast off her former cowardice and self-doubt. Her designs and sketches drew a crowd of admirers, but he thought it was all just another trick.
Later still, when the people around him were all asking for the so-called "luck bonus," "charm boost," and "wealth boost" from his so-called ex-wife's clothes, the child support money arriving at home began to multiply again and again.
At last, when the "top designer and ex-wife" who had taken the whole country by storm pointed to the man beside her and told their child to call him "Dad," Shen Jingtong finally lost his temper.
The refined young master was so furious his eyes turned red. "You drugged me to have a child, we haven't even divorced, and now you want to find some other man? Do you think I'm dead?"
Notes:
1. A refined, elegant mayor's son and a highly perceptive heroine who only wants to build her career.
2. The husband tries desperately to win his wife back. The heroine has a golden finger: clothes that boost her charm. She uses them to build a fortune and become the richest person in the country. Screenshot saved on March 12, 2021.
