Also known as Cold Summer.
Leng Xia, a Best Actress who once won countless awards for her debut, is blacklisted by a wealthy family and slandered by her peers. Overnight, scandals surround her, and she falls from the clouds into the mud.
Later, she marries Hang Sumei, the number-one heiress of Luocheng.
Rumor has it she looks exactly like Hang Sumei's late first love.
In everyone's eyes, it's a transaction: Hang Sumei treats her as a substitute, while Leng Xia is after money and connections.
Leng Xia always laughs off the rumors, but Hang Sumei's actions keep disappointing her.
Hang Sumei thinks Leng Xia is easy to appease. She believes money can buy anything, including affection.
The first time Leng Xia gets angry, Hang Sumei waves a hand and gives her a luxury car. After that come a villa, company shares, and more...
Eventually, Leng Xia grows tired of this exhausting relationship.
She coolly pushes Hang Sumei away, curls her lips into a faint smile, and says mockingly, "All my devotion to you was an act."
Only then does Hang Sumei realize that Leng Xia has become a part of her, rooted in her very flesh, someone she cannot bear to lose.
At a New Year's Eve banquet, Hang Sumei accidentally learns that Leng Xia is the one she once cherished as her moonlight.
She lays down her pride and begs Leng Xia to come back on a wind-bitten terrace.
Leng Xia narrows her captivating, foxlike eyes and says seductively, "President Hang, you don't actually think I'm someone money can buy, do you? The price of who I am now is beyond your means."

Reader's Guide
1. A masked, unhinged, flirtatious troublemaker of a fox spirit x a cold, calculating, reserved, awkward female CEO. The gong is seven years older than the shou. One-on-one, both leads are each other's first and only. Happy ending.
2. Both leads have flaws, and their relationship takes work. They grow together.
My completed novel The Boss Keeps Urging Me to Remarry is available in my profile. My next novel is I'm a Trash Alpha, So I Give Up and Somehow Become a Virtuous Wife and Mother. The blurb is below. Please add it to your favorites.
Ke Yu is unlucky enough to be transported into the body of the scheming, selfish scum Alpha she created in her own novel.
The scum Alpha is a fake heiress. To keep the family fortune all to herself, she pretends to be devoted and tricks Bei Keqiu into marrying her. In reality, she has one lover after another, and once she gets the inheritance, she openly abuses her wife. In the end, she gets what she deserves: her gland is cut out and fed to dogs, her legs are broken, and she is thrown under a bridge to beg, where she dies a miserable death.
Ke Yu: If only I'd known how this would end, I wouldn't have done it...
When Ke Yu opens her eyes, she's in a bedroom heavy with the sweet scent of brandy. Bei Keqiu, freshly marked, wakes up and immediately grabs Ke Yu by the throat, wishing she could cut her into a thousand pieces and toss her into the river for the fish.
Ke Yu: It's over. The female lead is reborn, and I'm doomed!
Ke Yu has believed since childhood that nothing is impossible if you're willing to give up, so she decides to quit trying and slack off. But the System she gets bound to keeps thwarting her plans.
Later, for Bei Keqiu's sake, Ke Yu transforms from the ultimate slacker into the ultimate overachiever, becoming a doting wife known all over the internet.
*
Marked by Ke Yu, Bei Keqiu has no choice but to rely on her pheromones to get through her heat. She coolly treats Ke Yu like a tool for satisfying her needs. She crooks a finger or flicks her hair, and Ke Yu comes running, completely dazed.
Ke Yu: I'm just a shut-in anime girl who's never even dated. How am I supposed to resist this?
Just as Ke Yu is starting to lose control, the devoted second female lead, Bai Wen, suddenly appears and steers the plot back on track.
Ke Yu pouts tearfully at Bei Keqiu and says, "I won't get in your way. Go find Bai Wen. She's the alpha made just for you."
But Bei Keqiu hooks a finger into her collar, her cold, soft red lips brushing the edge of her ear. "Then why are you crying?"
Reader's Guide
1. Female Alpha, no accessories, plenty of ridiculous original worldbuilding, happy ending.
2. Silly and adorable, alcohol-loving, coffee-scented pheromones, corporate drone at a wealthy conglomerate Alpha x cool and aloof flirt, coffee-dependent, brandy-scented pheromones, beloved by all, award-winning actress Omega.
3. A light, sweet story. It probably won't get angsty.
Theme: Use love to polish our imperfect selves.
Tiedan: For this family, I lost what I should have and gained what I shouldn't have. Mao Sheng is no longer afraid.
Very well written, thank you
I took a sneak peek and found that there is indeed no new episode of My Tiedan.
Laughing to death, I declare this chapter the best in the book
The two of them had already missed the best opportunity to be together. If it weren't for Su Meiyu's status as CEO (this status allows her to appear next to Xia Xia at any time to increase her presence, even if she keeps grinding hard, Xia Xia will eventually surrender). The two of them would have been impossible! Su Meiyu seems to be a dog licker now, but in fact, as long as she doesn't leave, Xia Xia will never get rid of the candy!
Can one person's blood book give me Tiedan another extra chapter?
How can this staff be so outrageous? It's really cool for a living person and an investor to be able to stay on a deserted island.
Tiedan is really the best assist in this book, he warms me up and makes me cry
Good guy, only Tiedan is assisting
Tiedan: My little kitten has sacrificed too much for this family.
