[Please add my next books, The Storm Between Us and In Control, to your reading list.]
These days, the two most talked-about figures in Nancheng have to be Jian Ning and Xu Yanshi.
One is the impressive CEO Jian, hailed as an industry role model after managing several crises with brilliant public relations. She also has the powerful and prestigious Qin family backing her, and is enjoying unprecedented success.
The other is a hot new name in finance, an heir from a wealthy family who broke away from his roots and rose to the top through his own ability, a legend in the business world.
The key point is, both are single, and they match in age, looks, ability, and even net worth.
When the media published a photo of them together at a charity gala, they looked like a perfect match. It was trending by that evening.
Netizens said they were an even better couple than some hugely popular celebrity pairings, and flooded the comments asking for more.
But the very next day, Jian Ning posted a photo of herself holding a little girl, seen from behind, with the caption: "Thank you for choosing me to be your mother."
The media and netizens went wild, eagerly asking who the child's father was.
Jian Ning replied: [Deceased. I kept the child and left the father behind.]
That evening, someone stopped Jian Ning outside her villa.
Xu Yanshi wore an expensive suit. He looked as if he'd rushed there straight from a long journey, and his handsome face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Through gritted teeth, he asked, "Jian Ning, what do you mean by saying I'm dead?"
She smiled and pretended not to understand. "What's the problem?"
Xu Yanshi sneered, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her against him, their waists pressed together. His lips brushed her ear as he asked gently, "Is it warm? A dead man couldn't give you this, could he, CEO Jian?"
The intimacy of their past came rushing back. Jian Ning closed her eyes, then shoved him away and smiled with perfect sincerity. "Haven't you heard? A proper ex is as good as dead."
Xu Yanshi: "..."
Behind Jian Ning's dazzling success lay a period of utter darkness.
In that accidental marriage, she suffered one grievance after another. Her husband, Xu Yanshi, had once held an umbrella over her in the pouring rain.
She had always cherished that rainy day. She never imagined that one day he would suddenly take the umbrella back and give it to someone else.
After that, she stopped waiting for rainy days.
Once the storm passed and the skies cleared, whether he loved her or not no longer mattered.
#Contract marriage to love, groveling ex-husband seeks forgiveness
#Not a story that mistreats the female lead; the male lead doesn't change
#Comeback and face-slapping, overall a satisfying wish-fulfillment story

Theme: An inspiring life
I've basically finished watching it, and I don't feel that the male protagonist was tortured very much. Maybe the movie I watched before was more cruel. This book doesn't feel like it's abusing the male protagonist at all. Can the author be more ruthless in the future? In addition, I didn't write about the reunion part of the copywriting. I was quite interested in that part. Furthermore, there is too little writing about the reunion part, and the broken mirror part is so long that I want to skip it. The writing is okay, but I personally feel that I can work harder on the characters and plot. This book made me a little unhappy, so I won't wait for the author's new article for the time being.
Chapter 50 is locked and I can't subscribe. Is it because there are 50 chapters missing that I can't watch the bonus extras?
It's so tiring to follow this book. I promised that the main text would be almost finished in a new year, but now, I feel tired?
I hope it can be straightened out and logically perfect, looking forward to it~
Can the misunderstanding be explained? This seems to be a bit vague and reconciled...
Chapter 50 is locked. . . . 💔 Can't watch the extra 😭
Is it possible for a career-oriented heroine to have a second marriage with Bai Yueguang's man? It doesn't seem to work [covering face, laughing and crying]
Why can't I watch the bonus extras even though I'm fully subscribed?
May I ask when my brother's articles will be updated?
It's been a long time, but I still feel sad after reading this...
