[My other story, Awakening, is now underway: friends-with-benefits to lovers, with a groveling ex. Please add it to your favorites.]
At a company annual party, Ji Yan and Wang Jun spent one confused night together.
The two of them tacitly maintained an ambiguous relationship for two years.
By day, they acted like strangers. By night, they were inseparable.
·
Wang Jun was known for being ruthless. He was decisive and swift at work, and merciless about everything, including love.
Ji Yan was lost in it all, deluding herself that she was the exception.
Until she accidentally heard Wang Jun say coldly:
"I do like her, but that little bit of affection isn't enough for me to give up my principles." "Marriage isn't part of my plan."
·
Ji Yan's heart turned to ash, and she proposed ending things.
Wang Jun thought for a few seconds. "Is there someone you want to settle down with?"
Her voice was hoarse, as if it didn't belong to her. "I'm still looking. If I find someone suitable, I'll make it official soon."
He replied unhurriedly, "Congratulations."
·
Wang Jun scorned marriage and kept his distance from it.
Ji Yan was just an accident. He would soon forget her.
Until he saw Ji Yan on a date with a handsome, refined man. Before long, the two of them would be walking down the aisle.
He could no longer say "Congratulations" without a ripple of emotion.
What's more, he regretted it.
----Story blurb:
Rumors say Yan Xichen has a mercurial temperament and behaves erratically. Shen Rulian has no idea how she ended up with him clinging to her.
After thinking it over for a long time, she agrees to be with him, on one condition: they live their own lives in peace and leave each other alone.
Yan Xichen gives a cold, disdainful laugh. "Impossible."
·
Yan Xichen fell for Shen Rulian at first sight and went to great lengths to keep her by his side, just as he wanted.
But you can't force love. She was the only one who felt this way.
Three years later, she still doesn't love him and wants nothing but to leave.
·
With nowhere left to retreat, Yan Xichen declares through gritted teeth, "Shen Rulian, I've thought it over. If I can't be your husband for life, then I'll be your ex-husband for life."
The day he lets go, she leaves without hesitation.
She never looks back.

#BadEnding, the male lead fails to win her back.
Theme: Grow freely
Ah, I almost never read BE stories because I was afraid that it would be too sad to see the ending where the male and female protagonists went their separate ways. But after reading this book, I felt a kind of sincere peace at the end, especially when I saw Xiao Shen regaining his free life in the extra story, and I felt a little bit happy (I am actually a fan)
The characters of the two people are consistent from beginning to end. First of all, the male protagonist cannot classify him as a good guy or a bad guy. Human nature is so complicated. He can be cruel to others and bend to the female protagonist again and again, but his nature has not changed. He just "pretends" better in front of the female protagonist. As long as he pretends, there will be a day when he can no longer pretend. Fortunately, the female protagonist has seen through it early. Xiao Shen is also very clear-headed from beginning to end. She knows what she wants and doesn't want, and she will not be easily swayed by the other party's overtures. "Is it miserable for a man if he can't get love?" It can be said to be a question from the soul. As a bystander, I even had moments when I was confused. Maybe after reading the first two chapters, I thought Yan Xichen was pretty good, so why did I become a loser? After reading the next two chapters, I found out that the male protagonist showed some deep-seated disrespect for people. I was instantly woken up with a stick: You can't be with this kind of person, run away!!! I would be blinded by the male protagonist's "being nice to you" from time to time, but Xiao Shen won't. She knows that the other person's kindness is for a purpose, to make her his girlfriend, wife, and mother of his children... And she also knows that the benefits that the other person can give can be withdrawn at any time. Xiao Shen is really the smartest and wisest heroine I have ever seen!
Is there really no ending and let them be together? I'm about to cry
Finished spreading flowers! I feel a bit relieved. From now on, Xiao Shen will be able to fly like a fish in the sky and let a bird fly. I am curious about what the extra chapter will write!
"He has many escape routes, but you don't have any." Alas, that's the truth
Xiao Shen is really sober. This sobriety is tempered by her family and experience. I feel heartbroken (˙-˙) Yan Xichen said, "Some men are suitable for hanging on the wall." I really want to ask him, should you hang it on the wall for the arrogant Xiao Shen in the early stage? Hahaha
I'm not afraid of perverts, I'm afraid of perverts who look like normal people (Don't come here. Jpg
I can understand the heroine. She was once bullied wantonly and now relies on the male protagonist to repay the bullying. It seems that the situation is reversed. In fact, she is still an ordinary person, but the male protagonist has opened a cheat for her... If she were not favored by the male protagonist, she would be no different from any ordinary person who is retaliated by the male protagonist. (I won't talk about it after reading the article. In reality, if you meet an extreme man, you will just fly and run away overnight!
Yan Xichen still has the nerve to talk about torturing each other. The most he calls "torture" is not getting a woman's heart. Otherwise, isn't life perfect enough if he gets everything he wants? It's really torture for the female goose. It's so painful to go from being free to being dependent on others. (Today is also a day when I feel sorry for the female goose.
I found it in the Reunion tag. . . . .
