Internet company CEO x game designer

Shi Yi lost her memory. When she woke up, the only person she recognized was her husband, Sheng Min.

Sheng Min was a technical genius and a legend in the business world, according to rumors. His handsome face won the hearts of countless socialites, but he was aloof and ruthless. With Shi Yi, he was even worse than the rumors suggested.

"Let's get divorced," Sheng Min said.

Shi Yi's eyes quietly reddened. She had had a crush on him for ten years and been married to him for two, yet still hadn't gotten what she wanted.

She couldn't let go. "I don't want... a divorce."

-

According to rumors, Shi Yi was the second young lady of the Shi family, arrogant, domineering, spoiled, and good for nothing but her beauty.

At first, Sheng Min had only planned to keep a pink bomb at home.

But on her first night back from the hospital, Shi Yi hugged a pillow and padded barefoot to the master bedroom door. Timidly, she said, "Can't we stop sleeping in separate rooms?"

Sheng Min wearily pinched the bridge of his nose. "This is my room."

Shi Yi looked at him with glistening eyes. "But we're married."

Sheng Min was silent for a full two minutes.

Fine, fine. Letting her have the master bedroom wouldn't kill him...

Just endure it. Endure a little longer.

-

Later, Shi Yi came to her senses and realized Sheng Min truly couldn't love her.

She decided to leave, taking nothing but a signed divorce agreement.

When Shi Yi returned to her parents' house and opened the door, she froze.

Her grandfather was consoling Sheng Min with deep sympathy, holding his hand as he said, "Don't worry. If Shi Yi dares to sleep with you and then refuse to take responsibility, I'll break her legs!"

Shi Yi: ???

The script Shi Yi thought she was in: an angsty heroine chasing her ex after the divorce

The script Sheng Min was actually in: married first, love later, with an added dose of possessive coercion :)

A steadfast, scheming CEO who feels every day that he can't put up with this any longer x a goofy, rich heiress who causes chaos every day and still thinks she's the one being wronged

Forbidden Love's Minister

A gentle older sister with incredible emotional resilience but no resistance to money x a sensitive, obsessive younger brother whose fighting skills and hormones are both off the charts

Chen Xihuan was a mute who kept to herself.

On a snowy, windy night in her third year of college, she took in a high school boy to keep her company.

The boy was called Jiang Ran. When Chen Xihuan found him, he was covered in injuries but didn't seem to care. He sat lazily against a wall, one leg stretched out, a streak of scarlet blood at the end of his sharp eyebrow. His tone was arrogant and defiant:

"Leave me alone."

Chen Xihuan's eyes lit up. She bent down and signed: I won't mistreat you!

-

Jiang Ran was cold and taciturn. The neighbor thought Chen Xihuan had picked up another mute and advised her not to go looking for trouble.

Chen Xihuan signed: His clothes are expensive. I can sell them to pay rent and utilities!

After the neighbor had walked away, Jiang Ran, who couldn't understand sign language, asked what she'd said.

Chen Xihuan typed it out for him: I said I found a treasure!

Jiang Ran gave a nonchalant "Mm." "Lucky you."

-

Later, after she'd finally managed to raise Jiang Ran, the Jiang family came looking for him, intent on taking him home to reclaim his place in the family.

They were a powerful, wealthy family far beyond Chen Xihuan's reach.

-

Four years later, a flower shop opened by the sea.

A tall man, no longer boyish but now mature and refined, walked slowly through its front door, the sun shining behind him.

The wind chime rang out brightly. Chen Xihuan lifted her head from among the flowers, her eyes trembling slightly.

Jiang Ran lowered his gaze, his long lashes sweeping down.

"Big Sister, don't think of leaving me again." His voice was calm, but there was a hint of obsession in it. "This time, I'll still do whatever it takes to keep you by my side."

-

Sunlight drifted through the gap in the heavy curtains. In the dim room, whenever Jiang Ran forced Chen Xihuan to make a sound, she would think in a daze:

"Little brother... has gone bad."

My Archenemy Is So Good at Acting in Love

The strongest, thickheaded female demon x the most talented actor, a gorgeous, treacherous man

In her previous life, Lady Hengyang Ying Huai was the greatest sword cultivator under heaven. After she became a demon, the hundred sects accused her of heinous crimes: betraying her master and ancestors, murdering her husband, and abducting male lovers by force. While she was weak during a retreat, the hundred sects attacked Mount Hengyang and killed her with eighty-one bolts of heavenly lightning.

Ten years later, Ying Huai was reborn in the body of a tiny peach blossom fairy.

-

Yu Qing was a male lover Ying Huai had abducted in her previous life. Gentle and proper, with a face as handsome as a fine piece of jade, he was also a frail invalid.

Yet this frail invalid went mad with grief over his lost love after Ying Huai died, took control of Mount Hengyang, and vowed to avenge her. Even the hundred sects were helpless against him.

Ying Huai: He loves me? Impossible. Absolutely impossible!

Others might not know it, but Ying Huai knew full well that she was the one who had made Yu Qing so sickly.

They were archenemies who wanted to see each other ground to dust!

-

On the anniversary of Lady Hengyang's death, Yu Qing wept with longing for her, hiding his face behind his sleeve. Demons sighed over his devotion, while the righteous called him a madman.

Only Ying Huai saw what Yu Qing did when no one else was around: he put down the blue robe soaked in onion juice, stood up straight, and walked steadily to the memorial tablet she had set up for Ying Huai, then kicked it over.

A little scene:

Ying Huai: If you won't spend the night with me, I'll beat you up!

After he spent the night with her.

Ying Huai stiffly wiped the tears from Yu Qing's reddened eyes with her sleeve and said impatiently, "I didn't even hit you. Why are you crying?"

Yu Qing secretly dug his fingers into his thigh again, and his tears came pouring out. "If you think I'm too delicate, go find someone else."

Ying Huai's head hurt just thinking about it. "Having you is already enough trouble. Besides, no one else is as good-looking as you."

Reader's guide: The female lead was the strongest fighter in her previous life. After being reborn, she'll gradually grow stronger. The male lead really is in poor health, but it's not the female lead's fault. (This thickheaded girl thinks she made him sick by forcing him to spend the night with her. Let me clear her name first.)

Theme: Always keep learning, no matter the circumstances.
