A Million Ways to Charm

Huo Qi'an was as bright and clear as a moonlit night, disciplined, principled, and upright, with an unyielding spirit.

No one expected someone as well-bred as him, a wealthy young man, to fall for a woman who never stopped talking nonsense.

No one in the capital thought their relationship would last.

To keep her relationship with Huo Qi'an secret, Chi Feiran left without a word and secretly gave birth to their child on her own.

But on the very first day she returned to the country, he dragged her off to register their marriage.

That night, she snatched the cigarette from his hand, took a deep drag, then crushed the glowing ember.

Huo Qi'an said coolly, "Chi Feiran, do you really think I wouldn't dare lay a hand on you?"

Chi Feiran was unfazed. "I gave birth to your child. Surely you wouldn't leave him motherless so soon after he was born."

Huo Qi'an's voice was cold. "You know what I want to hear, don't you?"

Chi Feiran paused, then prepared to tell the truth. "Actually, I..."

Huo Qi'an suddenly cut her off. "Have you thought of how to explain choosing the child over me back then?"

Chi Feiran froze.

Later, after they made their relationship public, word spread everywhere that Huo Qi'an had turned down an invitation from a business partner to go home and look after their child. When Chi Feiran heard about it, she casually bragged in public, "It's just a way of winning me over."

Afterward, Huo Qi'an pinned her against the door. On the other side was a lively banquet hall.

His thumb slowly brushed over her red lips. "A way of winning you over?"

A second-chance romance. The leads met at eighteen, and they're thirty now. Their child is the fruit of their love, not the result of a moment's passion. The heroine loves the hero, but loves money and advantages even more. She got pregnant because she wanted to have it all.

In the entertainment industry, people often look alike. Before Cheng Jiarui left the industry, passersby were always saying that other people looked like her. Sadly, times have changed since her comeback, and now everyone says she looks like the rising star Gan Tang.

After all, Lu Huailin is the one backing Gan Tang.

Lu Huailin was born into privilege and had a distant temperament. Nothing worldly could catch his eye, except Cheng Jiarui, the thorn lodged in his heart.

Back then, she had left without a word and never even looked back at him.

During the years Cheng Jiarui was a major star, she spoke her mind and offended plenty of people. Now that she has fallen from grace, there's no way she'll have an easy time of it.

Roles are stolen, filming locations are taken over, and every good opportunity passes her by. One of the humiliations was orchestrated by Lu Huailin himself, emboldening those who were already kicking her while she was down.

With nowhere else to turn, she finally swallowed her pride for the sake of a living, humbly apologized, and was repaid by these snobs taking even more liberties with her.

In the end, she went to beg Lu Huailin for help, only to be turned away by Gan Tang, who acted on her own.

The next day, the industry was laughing at her. They said the real woman was still there, yet she was throwing herself at him to be a stand-in. She'd only brought humiliation upon herself.

But that very night, Gan Tang was kicked out of Lu Huailin's mansion, and he personally brought the real woman home.
