My other novel, Years of Pine and Bamboo, is now available!] Everyone in Rongcheng's upper class knows the Pei and Wen families have always been at odds. But with new leaders taking the helm of both families, their relationship has entered a new chapter. Their reconciliation and cooperation began with a marriage alliance between the families. Wen Jianchen, an emergency physician and the youngest son of the Wen family; Pei Dongyi, a kindergarten teacher and the youngest daughter of the Pei family. One is so devoted to work that he has no time to date, while the other takes life as it comes and has no expectations of love. They differ in countless ways, but share one common goal: preserving the harmony between their families. After marriage, their lives are like a frog slowly boiling in warm water. They spend little time together, and their only shared hobby is gossiping about other people's lives. Until one day, the gossip is about them. The entertainment company owned by the Pei and Wen families recently planned a variety show. To attract viewers (and save money), Wen Jianchen and Pei Dongyi were shoved into the cast as "top-tier rich kids." The result...

Thank you for your support! Next novel: Years of Pine and Bamboo Blurb: Yan Songyun and Yu Zhishui are like the two sides of a coin. One is ascetic, frugal by nature, and idealistic; the other loves luxury, follows her heart, and pursues profit above all. They marry for the sake of their respective families. Their life together is like sparks colliding with the earth, and Yu Zhishui is certain she'll eventually divorce him because she can't stand him anymore. She simply opens her eyes every day and starts spending, determined to make Young Master Yan wince at least once a day. That's not enough. She starts meddling in the group's affairs and takes a job at its film and television subsidiary. Mrs. Yan: Make your husband furious, starting by running one of his companies into the ground! Ever since the film and television subsidiary got a new general manager, Young Master Yan has been on tenterhooks every day. He never gets the dreaded news that it's going bankrupt and being liquidated. Instead, the company releases a glowing financial report. Young Master Yan closes his book and ponders: Has my wife finally changed her ways? Is my dream of living off her income about to come true? Yu Zhishui used to like certain things about Yan Songyun: he was rich, handsome, and often away from home. But later, she grew very unhappy with some of his behavior: he kept wanting to live off her, and he was far too clingy. "But I love him: his tender, warm soul, his unwavering pursuit of his medical ideals, and his reverence for life." #Also Known As: Does My Husband Have Something Wrong with Him?# #I Became the Richest Person Thanks to My Wife# #An Office Worker Turned CEO Who Quit Medicine to Go into Business and Dreams of Living off His Wife × A Wealthy Wife Determined to Squander Her Fortune, Then Works Hard to Make Money# Theme: Use your own wisdom and hands to make every day of life better.
