The Tragic Novel's Heroine Only Wants to Build Her Career

Shen Mian transmigrated into an old-fashioned angst novel as the poor, miserable ex-wife who was about to be divorced.

She clung to the male lead, offended people everywhere, and in the end was kicked out with nothing, becoming a down-and-out woman everyone despised.

On her first day in this new world, the first thing Shen Mian did was check her bank account.

She looked at the long string of zeroes in her balance and let out a huge sigh of relief.

Phew. Thank goodness... There was still time to squirrel away a little more personal wealth before the divorce.

So Boss Xu noticed his wife had changed, and was spending a lot more, too.

When his secretary reported the unusual expenses, Xu Yao glanced at the figures and simply said, "Let her."

Later, Shen Mian made the female lead a star, befriended the antagonist, and turned her company into a famous entertainment conglomerate. Boss Shen herself also became an overnight sensation for her beauty and talent, seemingly out of nowhere.

Only after establishing herself did Shen Mian start thinking about divorcing the male lead.

One day, at the dinner table,

Shen Mian looked at Xu Yao, who was still wearing his apron, and suddenly asked, "How about we get divorced tomorrow?"

Xu Yao stared at her in silence. "...What did you say?"

Shen Mian said, "If you want to pick an auspicious day, that's fine too, but I'm not leaving with nothing."

Xu Yao said nothing, just stared at her.

Shen Mian felt uncomfortable under his gaze and looked away.

He spoke, his voice hoarse. "I learned to cook, I listened to you and stayed in shape, and I come home often. You're satisfied with how I perform in bed, too. So why do you still want a divorce?"

He held back his anger and didn't snap at her, but the aloof, distant CEO's eyes had turned red. "How am I not as good as Lu He? Do you like him that much?!"

Lu He was the antagonist's name. At this point in the story, they hadn't even met yet.

Shen Mian gaped at him, startled.

What the hell? Had he transmigrated too, and gotten the stand-in lover plotline?!

The CEO's diary:

7.1 My darling spent my money for the first time. So happy!

7.6 Turns out she spent it on that person. Not happy...

10.30 My darling wants a divorce... No way in hell!!!

#I went to great lengths to win my wife, and now she's got amnesia and wants a divorce. Not a chance!!

#The CEO acts cold on the outside, but wants to cuddle with his wife every day. He's just too scared to make a move.
