A cold, scheming older CEO x a sweet-on-the-outside, flirtatious flower shop owner
-
On a dark and windy night, Ling Wansu, tipsy, stopped someone and poured out her heart. “I’ve dreamed about you.”
The other person asked coldly, “What did you dream about?”
“Us getting married.”
Once sober, Ling Wansu regretted letting the person in question in on her secret.
Later, when she found out the other woman was the CEO of her client company, she came back to ask about the details of the dream and propose another partnership.
“What kind of partnership?”
“Marriage.”
It was love at first sight. Ling Wansu kept dreaming about her, and eventually they married because each had something the other needed.
She dreamed of holding hands with Liang Jianshu, embracing, kissing, and giving in to desire.
After waking, she had to burn incense, bathe, and reflect on herself. President Liang was pure and free of worldly desires, while she was the one with impure thoughts.
Until, one by one, every dream came true by coincidence.
The woman who seemed so pure and dispassionate made Ling Wansu question things. “Didn’t we agree this was a marriage in name only?”
Liang Jianshu: “And?”
“...Let’s keep going.”
-
Tormented by her inner demons, Liang Jianshu had spent years trapped in one nightmare after another, until she met Ling Wansu.
She used a marriage in name only as bait to keep her close, hoping it would ease her suffering a little.
At some point, she truly fell in love.
When her carefully planned approach and exploitation were exposed, her true feelings were dismissed as a sham.
A relationship that began simply could end just as simply.
Unable to sleep, alone in her empty home, she fell ill again after losing the woman she loved.
She was sure of one thing: “I won’t get divorced.”
Ling Wansu was disheartened. “If you want to prove you ever truly cared about me, then let me go.”
“Fine. You don’t want to see me, so I won’t bother you.”
She pleaded, “But can we set a date? When the time comes, I’ll pursue you again.”

“I found a harbor in your dreams.”

Coming soon
[Seemingly innocent, down-on-her-luck small-town girl x divorced woman pretending to be gloomy and heartbroken]
Summer dragged on, dull and endless, and the moonlight had faded to the color of plain water.
Yun Huizhi lazed around town, taking photographs and writing, and volunteered to promote the place.
One day, she paired a scenic photo with an unhinged caption: “Amateur tour guide. If you want to travel and find a short-term girlfriend, consider me. Rates negotiable (pretty women only).”
Someone took her seriously and messaged to ask what counted as pretty. Yun Huizhi deliberately made it difficult: “Let me see a no-makeup photo.”
She thought that would end the conversation, but the woman actually sent one.
Yun Huizhi instantly lost all dignity. “From this moment on, the meaning of my life is waiting for you to come, big sis.”
When she went to pick the woman up, Yun Huizhi thought, Holy hell, she’s even prettier in person than in the photo. How could she possibly be short on travel companions?
“Why did you ask me to travel with you?”
“I got divorced and came here to heal. Your photos are nice.” The woman asked her, “Why do you do this?”
Yun Huizhi replied, “My family’s poor. I’m earning money for tuition.”
Yun Huizhi proved to be a capable tour guide. By day, she took her client sightseeing, drinking, and sampling good food, riding her bike after the sunset.
At night, the moonlight swayed over the little town, burning hotter than the sun. The woman’s clumsiness in the dark made Yun Huizhi suspicious. How did this look like someone who had been married?
The woman dabbed away the tears in her eyes and said indifferently, “You know how it is. That’s why I got divorced.”
Yun Huizhi understood and resolved to make sure the woman’s trip was worth it.
After half a month of wild abandon, the woman left without a word, leaving behind some money.
Yun Huizhi stayed in town, passing the time.
At the new-teacher orientation before the school year, one teacher introduced herself with the surname Yun.
The homeroom teacher assigned as her partner dressed conservatively and sternly, acted as if she had amnesia, and addressed her formally as Teacher Yun.
Yun Huizhi followed her back to the teachers’ apartments like an old friend. “I just found out Teacher Chu has always been single.”
Chu Ruoyou sneered. “Does someone who pretended to be a poor student to make money have the right to ask?”
Yun Huizhi maintained a pleasant attitude. “You paid me too much, so I had no choice but to follow you here and keep working for you.”
The moonlight over the small town fell into a late-summer night, and the memories they had deliberately buried came flooding back.
“...You’re such a bastard.”
“But you said you wouldn’t leave a bastard. I believed you.”
Theme: Searching for love and warmth
I quite like the characters in this book, and the author's writing is quite fluent, but some areas are not handled very delicately. For example, the description of Ling Wansu's psychological changes during divorce and reconciliation is a bit lacking, as well as Liang Jianshu's psychological problems. I feel that the character is more important than the shaping, and it feels a bit like the thunder is big but the rain is small. After all, it is so serious at the beginning but it is so easy to solve later? But I really like to watch the emotional tension and collision between the two heroines. I feel that emotional drama is what the author is good at, but when the plot turns in the middle and late stages, it feels a bit inadequate. But overall, the overall experience of this book is still very good, especially the first half. It's a pity that the author doesn't write much about it.
I woke up at four o'clock and saw that I had to go on a business trip in the afternoon, which saved my life. [Split]
This book is so well written👍, but when I read the introduction of the article at the beginning, I didn't expect that it would lead to such a wonderful direction. What's fun is that the sweet text style of Zhongfeizhou pops up again and again to write about falling in love hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha by this kind of character's accumulation of crying and emotional emotions is so interesting
Wuwuwuwu why there is no extra episode [poor]
I've finished chasing. I've read all of Teacher Zhou's works. They're very interesting. Please write more, hahahahaha
Love this one very much!
I've finished reading this book. It's hard to review. The names are a bit confusing at first. Dropping someone because of psychological trauma is as bad as kicking someone off the highway. And it happens again and again. Without some love brain support, it's really hard to talk about it.
This is the third time I've watched it, Zhouzi! You must keep writing. I really like reading the novels you write.
