[I revised this so much that my saved chapters got scrapped near the end. I've reworked the setup, but it will still go premium after it's complete. Also, please add my next novel, which I've already started drafting: [After Being Dumped, I Flash-Marry My Ex's Mentor]]
Blurb:
[An elegant wife during marriage, a messy-looking foodie after divorce VS a germaphobic CEO]
The year she graduated from college, Li Xia finally married Gu Jianshen, the man she'd secretly loved for years.
After the wedding, she dutifully became a full-time housewife in a wealthy family.
On the fifth New Year after their wedding, a friend came to visit.
Li Xia went upstairs to bring them some fruit.
On the second-floor balcony, Gu Jianshen was sitting with his friend.
His friend said, "...Aren't you worried your sister-in-law will find out and demand a divorce?"
Gu Jianshen gave a dismissive smile. "She won't. She loves me."
"What about you? It's been five years since you got married. Don't you want a child?"
"There's no hurry."
Li Xia already knew about the lingering ties between him and his first love.
She also knew that even an iceberg should have melted after five years, but she still hadn't managed to warm his heart.
Li Xia decided it was time to leave.
She was the one who asked for a divorce. Gu Jianshen remained as aloof and self-important as ever, asking her only one question throughout the whole process: "You won't regret it?"
Li Xia silently shook her head and signed without hesitation.
Gu Jianshen didn't seem to want to prolong things either. After the divorce, he gave her a very substantial settlement.
Afterward, Li Xia returned to her old line of work, investing in a show about traveling the world and eating her way through it, fulfilling her childhood dream.
But...
At a Michelin restaurant in France, Gu Jianshen sat next to her, watching her shoot with an intense gaze.
At a tiny street-side eatery in Thailand, Gu Jianshen sat hunched on a low stool back-to-back with her, listening forlornly as she slurped up rice noodles.
Fed up with him haunting her every step, Li Xia snapped, "What exactly do you want?"
Gu Jianshen pulled her close. "I want you back by my side, Xiaxia."

SC. The heroine starts out loving him humbly, but after the divorce, she shines on her own at the dinner table.
A little wife-chasing and remorse, but mainly a sweet romance.

Blurb:
[A gentle, sweet graduate student VS a cool, aloof head of surgery]
Her boyfriend was caught getting cozy with his senior in the on-call room by Chief Cen, who was on duty.
But he had the gall to make a shameless demand of Qiao Zhiyue: "Go beg Chief Cen. If he'll let this go, I'll agree to break up!"
He even cornered her outside her school.
Her stepmother called too, pressuring her: "Because you insisted on breaking up, your dad's going to get fired. Are you happy now?"
Attacked from all sides, Qiao Zhiyue looked at the man in front of her, who was looking down as he disinfected a cotton swab with iodine. She asked softly, "Dr. Cen, will you marry me?"
**
Qiao Zhiyue had a secret.
She had once been lucky enough to observe Cen Jingchuan perform surgery. His movements were meticulous, practiced, and effortless.
From then on, that man became a cinnabar mole in her heart.
Later, when she sat the graduate school entrance exam, she missed her chance with him.
After a few more chance encounters, at her most desperate moment, she gathered her courage...
**
The hottest news at Chuan City's First People's Hospital lately was that Cen Jingchuan, the head of surgery, was married.
No one could imagine what kind of fairy had won over their elegant, aloof Chief Cen.
Then one day, a night-shift nurse was heating up dinner during a short break when she passed Chief Cen's office.
The door was half open.
A soft-curled young woman was held in his arms.
The man, normally so indifferent and taciturn, had a tender look in his eyes as he coaxed her softly: "Feed me, hmm?"

The second female lead is right. Flies don't bite seamless eggs. The problem is that the male lead never refuses and even lies to the female lead. What does this dog man mean?

When will it be updated?
Xu Nuo said, your husband used to be a tolerant workaholic, which means that her husband also cared about her before. I can't agree with this. The male protagonist said before that he was serious about marrying the female protagonist. Since he was serious, how could he not notice that there was something wrong with the female protagonist? Moreover, he was not involved with the rumored ex-girlfriend. It was even more taboo in marriage. I really didn't feel that the male protagonist had any love for the female protagonist before the divorce.
Has the heroine relented????? Don't want!!!!!! You bitch, get out of here?
Ahhhh! More exciting!
I know that the development of the plot requires the male protagonist to always appear next to the female protagonist, but I still hate this. The female protagonist has not completely let go of the male protagonist. Can't the female protagonist live her own life? Without the male protagonist, without the male protagonist's family, everything about the male protagonist is okay. I really feel sorry for the female protagonist. When will the female protagonist let go if this continues?
Traveling with someone else? Why does the author say it's not bad? Could it be another misunderstanding?
This bitch man, the second girl is right. He knew that the second girl meant it, but he didn't refuse. And even though he knew it, the two didn't settle the matter before the divorce. He would tell the second girl this after the divorce. This man is really mean, bastard, idiot. I really can't stand it anymore. Every time I click on this article, the male lead will be mad at me. My breasts are also breast glands. I want to live for a few more years.
How come you didn't notice it before when you talk so well now? Will a man feel sorry for himself, or should he not be too nice to him?
