[The author’s completed crematorium series novel, "Married to the Mad and Obsessive Villain," is ready to read]
Chen Yuan was a poor student who relied on scholarships to pay her tuition, yet she had a secret crush on the school’s celebrated darling, Wen Yujin.
She thought they would never have anything to do with each other, but to her surprise, Wen Yujin came to her of her own accord.
She agreed to Wen Yujin’s invitation to join a club, her invitation to date, and her invitation to marry in secret.
She had thought her hopeless crush would never amount to anything, yet it somehow came true, more dreamlike than even the wildest fantasies in her head.
They kept their marriage secret for four years. Chen Yuan understood when Wen Yujin staged intimate publicity stunts with other people, didn’t mind pretending to be strangers in public, and accepted how little time they spent together. She even gave up a promising job because of something Wen Yujin said.
Then she unexpectedly overheard Wen Yujin’s unrequited love, her "white moonlight," sneer, "We’re already discussing the wedding date. The replacement should step aside sooner rather than later." The mocking words were laced with undisguised contempt.
When Chen Yuan asked Wen Yujin about it, all she got was tacit confirmation.
After a long silence, Chen Yuan signed the divorce papers.
Wen Yujin carved out a moment from her packed schedule, glanced up, and said with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes, "Ayuan, don’t make a scene."
Chen Yuan replied calmly, "Let’s get divorced. I’m not joking."
Wen Yujin assumed she was throwing another inexplicable tantrum and couldn’t be bothered to deal with it. She only came back after filming wrapped, but Chen Yuan was gone. All she found was a flimsy divorce agreement left on the table, like Chen Yuan herself, once sitting all alone on the sofa waiting for her to come home.
Three years after they parted, they met again. Chen Yuan was now an internationally renowned writer, praised by everyone and full of confidence, while Wen Yujin was a failure on the verge of bankruptcy.
Wen Yujin watched Chen Yuan talking intimately with another woman, arm in arm, and listened to the crowd offer their congratulations. She stood rooted to the spot like a stone statue.
Chen Yuan seemed like a different person. Her hair was dyed, her manner confident, and she spoke with effortless ease. There was no trace left of the insecure, timid woman she used to be.
Halfway through the banquet, Wen Yujin found her hiding from the heat on the balcony and seized her wrist as she turned around. "What is your relationship with that woman?"
Chen Yuan’s expression was cool. "Whatever it is, it’s none of your business."
Wen Yujin’s eyes reddened with jealousy. Suddenly, she shoved Chen Yuan hard against the wall.
Their breathing grew ragged, their lips and teeth collided, and the taste of iron mingled with a familiar scent.
With a muffled groan, Wen Yujin covered her bitten lip, breathing unevenly. Gritting her teeth, she said, "What does she have that feels better than I do?"
Wen Yujin never imagined that their positions would one day be reversed, and that she would be like a dog wagging its tail and begging for scraps, waiting for Chen Yuan to look her way.
Her lifeline, the person who meant everything to her, sat nonchalantly in a soft chair and lifted her chin with the tip of a shoe. "Who am I?"
Wen Yujin seemed to have had every bone pulled from her body. She gazed dazedly at Chen Yuan’s indifferent eyes, no longer able to find any trace of the anxious infatuation she once saw there.
"Chen Yuan."
Reader’s Guide:

[Mutual pining / Sweet romance / Food blogger x agricultural sciences PhD]
To split the rent, Xia Yunli found a roommate. She was late to their first meeting, rushing home drenched in sweat. The moment their eyes met, she nearly gave a Young Pioneers salute.
Her new roommate, Jiang Chi, had a cool expression and silver-framed glasses. With the intimidating air of a strict teacher, she was looking down at her watch.
Xia Yunli thought the other woman would leave on the spot, but somehow she ended up signing the roommate agreement in a daze.
Every morning, her new roommate left with a sandwich, and every night she ate instant noodles. As a food blogger, Xia Yunli couldn’t stand it anymore, so she invited Jiang Chi to sit at the dining table. Jiang Chi took a bite, paused, then said, "I’ll do the dishes from now on."
From then on, there was one more person at the table, and after dinner, someone else took their place at the sink, busy washing dishes.
One cooked while the other did the dishes. It was just like the cohabitation Xia Yunli had fantasized about, and you couldn’t blame this single lesbian for letting her imagination run wild.
But her roommate was straight, and a brilliant PhD student to boot. Xia Yunli didn’t dare reveal her feelings. She tried her best to act straight too, thinking she’d be perfectly happy just being friends.
Jiang Chi left early and came home late. She seemed aloof, but always showed up to help when Xia Yunli needed her. There was just one thing: she said one thing and meant another, and was stubborn to boot.
She probably didn’t know she pinched her fingers whenever she got nervous.
Xia Yunli: Kind of cute.
Jiang Chi thought she was asexual, then decided she was foodsexual. Only later did she realize she simply liked the person who cooked for her.
There was just one thing: Xia Yunli was obviously sweet and pretty, but whenever she looked at Jiang Chi, there was a bafflingly doting look in her eyes.
Jiang Chi said she could go get her own shot. Xia Yunli shook her head. "You can’t." Then she accompanied her and fussed over her the whole time.
Jiang Chi said her lunch break was too short, so she wouldn’t eat. Xia Yunli shook her head. "You can’t." Then she brought over a meal herself: three dishes and a soup, making all her coworkers jealous.
Jiang Chi said it was fine if she had nightmares. Xia Yunli shook her head. "You can’t." Then she pulled her into bed and held her close.
Jiang Chi... buried her face in a suffocatingly soft expanse. Her neck turned bright red, whether from embarrassment or lack of air.
Jiang Chi: First of all, I’m not straight!
But after looking up the things straight female best friends do, she gave it some thought. Maybe she could be straight too.
They say lesbians fall for straight girls. So if she pretended to be straight, would Xia Yunli fall for her?
Sharing an umbrella in the rain, drinking from the same cup of milk tea when thirsty, holding hands as they walked, and hugging in plain sight.
Jiang Chi: "Friends do this all the time."
Even though what I really mean is girlfriends.
Theme: Don’t wait until you’ve lost something to cherish it.

When I read this chapter, I was very annoyed by this person. He was too self-righteous, self-righteous compensation, self-righteous tolerance, and self-righteous looking down on others. The words "let her, let her" are no different from what some men say.
Ah ah ah ah, no, no, big brother, I wish I have been miserable for so long, not to mention the seven years that we readers have not seen, just take the previous chapters as an example, just a few chapters will be fine if Wen is not miserable. No, no, no 😭 😭 😭 Although Wen is in a tragic car accident now, I hope I gave up my career for her, and was pushed by her for seven years because of her depression and suicide. I won't be forgiven just for these few chapters. Scars will remain after the wound heals. Scars do not mean recovery, and scars can also be painful. Do we have to forgive the former abuser just because he was also hurt? Tonic 😭 😭 😭
It's okay, teacher, keep working hard, you can settle down a little more, don't worry. Don't worry too much, everyone makes mistakes. Someone has given suggestions that you can refer to. When you come back, we will see you in the next story. I believe you can bring a better story. In fact, you have been making progress. These few hzc series have not performed well, but you have not found the right subject matter that suits you. Everyone has the cost of trial and error.
Emm I didn't see the ending mark before watching it, and then it ended all of a sudden. I can only say that it was very abrupt. The ending felt extremely OOC, almost as abrupt as another Crematorium. But suddenly there are so many bad reviews, and the author may not be feeling well, so go ahead and hone your writing skills! I hope the author will do better in his next book.
If it were me, I would be easily soft-hearted, I am a love brain 😂
Tsk, tsk, I can't stand it after only one day. I can't do this until the end. I don't know how to repent at all. Do I deserve this?
I fell silent and just wanted to shout to the people behind me to run away.
This writing and this ending. . Really. . . I can't even fit the word "bad"
A little thought. The author is indeed not suitable for writing about abuse, nor is he suitable for writing about chasing his wife in the crematorium. Like the Mental Evolution Manual, the characters and stories are relatively novel and interesting, and the progression of emotions is still traceable. There is also Xiaoju's article. Although it is mediocre, I think daily life is cute and interesting (but the deputy CP is weird), and their relationship is also natural. In fact, I think the book by Zhong Ning and Xie 17 is actually a bit stiff, but I won't go into details here. There are too many problems in this book that cause o(?^`)OChen Yuan's OOC is more serious. In fact, the main reason is the lack of description of her three years after the divorce. Although the blank space can sometimes be meaningful and cause associations, Chen Yuan's psychological change is indeed too big and has no practical basis (even if she can't adapt to the banquet atmosphere for a long time). Psychologically, I think Wen Yujin should be a little more stretched, as he humbled himself too quickly. In the middle, it can be seen that the author can't continue writing. The number of words is getting shorter and shorter, and the villain is solved in one chapter. Today I saw a comment saying it was a bad ending. I was a little surprised but thought it was reasonable. I finally chose to subscribe and read it (face covering). After all, I have read more than 40 chapters and it is still a bad ending. I can't reconcile myself to it. . I also have Jiang Li's book in my collection, but I feel like I can't handle the level of the crematorium. The author can consider the natural development of feelings like Xianchuan and Mingqiu, Xiaoju and Jingchun, not love at first sight, nor inseparable from love and hate. Of course, if you give me a pen, I don't necessarily know how good I can write, so don't type on me. I rarely read unfinished stories (I usually read them to the end). I came across two books by the author (the other one is Mountain God), and I feel a little resentful. I don't dare to follow the series anymore.
Wen Li or Ying Nianjiao... So now that Wen Yujin has almost died, will Chen Yuan be confused? This plot feels familiar yet strange
