Everyone in the second-generation social circle knew that Young Master Fu had a lovesick admirer: his capable, beautiful secretary.
At a banquet, the young heirs asked him about it. Fu Xingyan replied carelessly, "Shang Le? How could I possibly like her? She's bland and boring. No fun."
Shang Le heard every word from behind the door. Looking down at her dark-colored suit, she suddenly understood: so he didn't like this kind of look. He should've said so earlier! She could change.
While waiting for Fu Xingyan after changing her clothes, Shang Le got sleepy and dozed off. She had a dream.
In the dream, she was the heroine of a CEO romance novel. She loved the hero so much she was willing to abase herself and did anything to stay by his side, only to be told she was bland and boring.
To win the hero's affection, the heroine put on a sexy little dress and hid in his room to seduce him. Then she claimed to be pregnant to force him to marry her. At the wedding, her lie was exposed in front of everyone and she was thoroughly humiliated. The hero came to hate her passionately.
The kicker was that the novel was labeled a happy ending! The heroine protected the hero in a car accident, losing both her legs but winning his love!
Shang Le: "..." They dared to call that deranged ending a happy ending?
She crawled out from under the covers and looked at the skimpy clothes she was wearing. Her legs ached with phantom pain. Footsteps sounded outside. Fu Xingyan's buddies were bringing him back to his room. They were about to come in.
Shang Le made a snap decision and climbed through the window into the room next door. She clamped a hand over the mouth of the person on the sofa. "Shh. Let me hide in your room for a bit. I'll be gone in a minute."
The other person looked like an innocent college student, with slightly messy black hair falling over his eyes. After she held him down, he stayed perfectly still and docile.
After everyone next door had left, Shang Le took out her phone and handed it to him. "Lend me some clothes. Write down your name and address, and I'll mail everything back with compensation later. Thanks for helping me, kid. Don't come to a place like this again. It's easy to run into weirdos."
The pure-looking college student's eyelashes fluttered. He didn't even dare look at her, and nodded with a blush.

The Shang and Nie families were renowned business empires and longtime rivals. They were constantly waging real-life dirty business wars. The Nie family insinuated that the Shang group's uniforms were yellow, so the company would go under sooner or later. The Shang family then publicly declared at a press conference that the design of the Nie family's new headquarters was ugly and would surely bring them bad fortune.
The two families fought tooth and nail, enjoying every minute of it.
Rumor had it that the Shang family's three sons were brilliant young talents, but their sister was a disappointment. She fell out with her whole family over a man, abandoned the family's vast business empire, and went to work as a lowly secretary at his company. Whenever anyone asked about the Shang family's heiress, all three brothers claimed their sister was studying abroad.
One day, a paparazzi team that specialized in digging up the dirt on wealthy people finally uncovered the Shang family's hidden scandal. The daughter of the prestigious Shang family was actually teaching at some tiny training school, and she behaved outrageously, pinning a college student who looked like he'd just entered the workforce against a wall in a narrow alley and kissing him until he was red in the face.
The team's leader pointed at the video and demanded, "Who's that?"
The others replied, "The Shang heiress! She never went abroad! She must have lost a power struggle among the siblings and been kicked out. What a filthy rich family. Even after all that, they're still exploiting ordinary people!"
"I'm talking about the ordinary person, damn it. The guy!"
With trembling hands, the team leader pulled out a financial magazine from several years ago. It featured an interview with the year's most influential figures. The supposed ordinary person was right there, taking up an entire page. He was the legendary man who had taken the investment world by storm with a single battle, becoming an industry trendsetter overnight. The only son of the Nie family, Nie Chuan.
This ruthless man was always stern and unsmiling in public, so cold and forbidding that a single look from him made people shudder.
...So who was this sweet little lamb in the video?!

Shang Le met the legendary investment banking trendsetter at a business summit. He looked aloof, with an aura that kept people at a distance, but the instant he saw her, he was so startled he almost dropped his champagne flute.
Shang Le: "A graduate student at A University? Your family is struggling, so you're working part-time at our school? You're twenty-four this year?"
Nie Chuan, aggrieved: "Sis, let me explain."
Shang Le: "You're two years older than me. Why are you calling me sis?"
Nie Chuan dropped the act. "Then... will you call me big brother?"
A reckless, stunning beauty and a handsome guy who'll stop at nothing
1. Very slow burn and slice of life
2. Not a wish-fulfillment story. Read with caution.
Coming soon: Master, Come Here
Yu Wuyin worked tirelessly to raise her disciples. Her teaching methods were so strict that they were all afraid of her, calling her a monster behind her back and saying everyone, living and dead, despised her.
Yu Wuyin didn't care. Good. They should be afraid, because fear would make them work hard at cultivation.
Later, she died suddenly. Her soul lingered in the world for several days, and she discovered that not one of her disciples shed a tear or mourned her. She felt like a complete failure.
When she woke again, she had returned to ten years earlier.
Her master had just passed away, and she had taken over as the sect's young leader, responsible for the rise and fall of her branch and the continuation of its legacy. She was about to choose her personal disciples.
Yu Wuyin didn't choose a single one of her former disciples. Instead, she selected a few rich, unruly young men from Yujing whom no one else wanted, and watched Zhu Huaixin take all of her former disciples as her own.
Yu Wuyin and Zhu Huaixin had competed with each other since childhood. Neither ever yielded, and together they were known as the Twin Beauties of Penglai. Everyone considered them sworn enemies.
After returning, Yu Wuyin changed her appearance and snuck into Zhu Huaixin's sect to secretly study her teaching methods. Zhu Huaixin's disciples were all so obedient and diligent. They were exactly the disciples of her dreams.
She would never have known if she hadn't looked: Zhu Huaixin taught her disciples gently, like a spring rain that nourished all things, completely unlike Yu Wuyin.
Yu Wuyin understood. So disciples could study diligently even without being yelled at, terrorized, and punished.
She followed Zhu Huaixin's example and changed her teaching style, smiling so much every day that her face hurt.
She didn't notice that her former personal disciples were all watching her from the shadows, their eyes full of surprise and jealousy.
*
Yu Wuyin went out to exorcise demons and was injured protecting her young disciple. The unruly young master knelt beside her bed and cried, swearing to heaven that he would work hard at cultivation from then on.
After the young disciple left, Yu Wuyin leaned against the bed and sighed. The methods she'd learned from Zhu Huaixin really worked. She'd graduated at last.
She took her medicine that evening and slept fitfully, with the constant feeling that someone was beside her, though she couldn't wake up.
In the dim light, beside the couch, someone held her ankle and lowered their head to place a burning kiss on her wound. Their half-lowered eyes were dark and inscrutable.
If Yu Wuyin had been awake, she would have recognized him at once: her senior disciple Lu Sanqian, who hadn't shed a single tear after her death in her previous life.
Master, why do you only smile at them?
Please smile at me too.
[From the perspective of Yu Wuyin's reborn disciples
Good news: Master is still alive ≧w≦
Bad news: Master doesn't want us anymore QAQ]
(Self-proclaimed) cold and heartless x (well aware of it) ambitious and ruthless
1. One-on-one romance
2. My take on cultivation, with a mountain of original worldbuilding (low magic)
3. The disciples are utterly devoted to her, in both their past and present lives
4. More to come
Theme: Every past chapter is just a prelude
I originally posted it under the rating section, but suddenly I thought it would spoil the story for those who read the rating, so I decided to post it here. It is a very heart-warming article, a slow-burning daily article. There are all kinds of girls, and they also have all kinds of troubles, but they also all have their own unique core, which makes my heart warm when I read it. When I first read the title "The Queen and the Clown", I thought it was referring to the male and female protagonists. After reading a few chapters, I thought the title didn't fit the content. Halfway through, I thought it was a metaphor for the male and female protagonists' hearts. Only after reading later did I realize that it was actually everyone's inferiority complex and hope for self-improvement. Sang Sang's family members are also very lovely, with a warm and interesting family atmosphere. The second brother is very heart-wrenching. Fortunately, he is lucky enough. Even if he does not have biological parents (I'm sorry, but I really don't like them, it's understandable, but I still don't like them, so I call him that), there are family members who really care about him and love him. In addition to the girls, the creation of several male characters (excluding Fu Xingyan, although he is miserable, but this is not the reason for him to hurt others' sincerity) is also very cute and interesting. My impression of Situ Cheng was suddenly reversed. After all, the first impression was not good when mixed with Fu's group of friends, and he is also a cute little bitter melon (×). Oops, the last team building session was really about the little bitter gourds hugging each other for warmth. Well, maybe it can't be said to be for warmth, because everyone has become a little bit stronger while getting along. Even if it may not be that strong yet, it will definitely get better and better in the future. Finally, congratulations to Mr. Nie for finally having his own kitten! The young couple is so sweet. They are actually healing each other. Woo hoo hoo, let's keep going hand in hand like this! Thank you to the author for bringing this book, and I am very happy to have discovered this book. I hope that I and everyone can be a queen like Shang Le, haha.
This novel is full of family conflicts between children and parents 💔 I thought I was reading some educational text 💔
I love it so much. Everyone is so vivid and three-dimensional, and their emotional development is so natural. Everyone is warm and lovely. I like DaDa's articles. This is Da DaDa's second article. Hehe
Yeah, it's really good. Seeing you like this makes me feel relieved.
Just by accident. . . . Completely missing?
Shang Shaoyuan: I'm going to make a fuss, I'm going to make a fuss
When you see this, you know why the novel is called this. I love every character.
When I read the book, I felt like I was looking in the mirror. Hahaha. It's a very healing article. My wife wrote it very delicately. If you are afraid of something happening, then use Shuangwen logic and avoid entering this circle from the beginning. You can feel your wife's love for Sangsang: a happy and happy family, good resources, a good financial foundation, and a very good personality. I was deeply impressed by the several emotional states shown in the article: the heroine's secret love for her former boss has reached the point where she has lost herself. She does not have regular contact with her family. Although she has good family support, she seems to be alone and alone. When it comes to relationships, my former boss constantly set up tests to see if the heroine can pass the test. If she passes the test this time, she will set up separate tests next time to see if you can pass it every time. I feel a bit like the movie "White Fox" where Xiao Cui used magic to create difficulties to hurt the fool Wang Yuan Feng and asked him if he would let go. Wang Yuan Feng said he would not let go. Wang Yuan Feng proved his heart to Xiao Cui through his actual actions. The heroine's former boss is like Xiao Cui. He uses constant testing to determine whether he has received a love that will never change and can be exchanged with peace of mind. But it is too late. In the plot of the original book, the heroine broke her leg for him (this is what I remember). After he confirmed the heroine's love for him, he confessed to the heroine and said he would support her. He confirms the heroine's love for him by hurting the heroine. To be honest, it's a bit hard to describe. But his family is like that, it's miserable, but at least he has a successful career. I think the author is very kind to him, but I feel a little sorry for him? The second one is Xiaoxiao and Cheng Rui. The man makes me speechless. You have several girlfriends at the same time and you go on a blind date. Oh my god, Cheng Rui's mother is also outrageous. You clearly know that your son has a girlfriend and you still ask him to go on a blind date. When you get engaged, you even post a WeChat Moment just for Xiaoxiao to see. Do you want her to know the image of your daughter-in-law??? Cheng Rui is also speechless. He doesn't cherish other people's feelings at all. To him, marriage feels like he is weighing the pros and cons. He just wants to make his career go to a higher level after marrying well. They are all good girls who almost fell in love with you. Next is Yu Qing's family. I feel sorry for Yu Qing. He has a hobby and writes well in a repressive environment. He is really awesome. And when I grow up, my hobbies are reading novels and singing, which are very ordinary, wild, and my own resume is not very good. I am delicate and prone to internal friction. I also [cry] [cry] [cry] I have to think in my heart for a long time before I say a word, and I have to patch it up after I say it. I am so afraid that I will cause trouble to others [cover my face and laugh] It feels very tiring to interact with others. I wish Yu Qing will have his own house and his own space in the future. [Spreading flowers] Nie Chuan's parents feel quite toxic. They love each other. Regarding their children, it seems that it is rumored that American parents will only raise their children until they are 18 years old and will not care about them after 18 years old. It feels like they have been brainwashed by such rumors [covering face and laughing] [covering face and laughing and crying] [covering face and laughing and crying] It is quite outrageous. Overall, this book is really worth reading! The above content can be regarded as my thoughts after reading it. If there is any discrepancy in the content of the article, please correct me 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 Finally, I wish all of us will become a queen like Sangsang!!! I wish everyone better and better!!! Please keep writing, madam 😍 😍 😍 [spread flowers] [spread flowers] [spread flowers]
