After the Contract Was Terminated, the CEO Went Mad

My new novel is out! Stop by and check it out if you’re interested. It’s a similar kind of silly comedy, called No Choice, He’s Offering Too Much.

Blurb:

A father who died young, a sick mother, a broken family, and a son short on money.

To earn money for his mother’s medical care, Qi Ji takes a job.

He’s played other people’s boyfriends before, but this job is a little different. At their first meeting, his employer lays down three rules: This is just acting. Don’t fall for me. It won’t end well.

As a professional actor, Qi Ji says, “No problem at all.”

He assumes the job will get harder as his salary rises. Instead, his daily routine consists of learning to paint, play piano, ride horses, play golf, and everything else.

Ding Ji: It feels like I signed up for a free hobby class.

This employer is actually pretty nice.

To repay his nice employer, Ding Ji casually cooks a few meals for him, then happens to take care of him when he gets sick.

Somehow, he ends up taking care of him in bed.

At the critical moment, Ding Ji braces himself against his employer’s shoulder. “That’ll cost extra.”

Employer: “Name your price.”

Ding Ji obediently withdraws his hand. “Can’t help it. He’s offering too much.”

After saving enough for his mother’s surgery, Ding Ji hands in his resignation. To his surprise, his employer immediately proposes marriage. “All my assets will be yours from now on.”

Ding Ji: “What happened to ‘don’t fall for me, it won’t end well’?”

But whatever. The other guy is offering way too much.

A love-starved gong x a money-strapped shou

Blurb:

With his mother gravely ill, Xie Qingxu has no choice but to sign an agreement with a man.

Several months after signing it, Xie Qingxu is focused on doing his job diligently and leaving once his mother recovers. But little by little, he sinks into this fake marriage.

Just as he is unable to pull himself free, he sees a photograph in his marriage partner’s study. The person standing beside his partner looks remarkably like him...

At last, Xie Qingxu comes to his senses. In this marriage, he was nothing but a stand-in.

One day, his marriage partner’s first love suddenly returns from abroad. A divorce agreement is tossed in front of him, and after a moment of stunned silence, Xie Qingxu calmly signs his name.

The next day, someone else approaches Xie Qingxu with a business proposal.

The day after that, Xie Qingxu attends a banquet with his business partner. He is standing beside them, socializing with a glass of champagne in hand, when his nominal ex-husband grabs his wrist. The usually cool and composed Mr. Lu frowns at him. “What are you doing?”

Xie Qingxu: “Our agreement has ended. Mr. Lu, please show some respect.”

Days later, beneath the dim glow of a streetlamp, the usually aloof and refined Mr. Lu stops him. His voice is nearly pleading. “Xie Qingxu, what would you say if I told you I wanted to marry you again?”
