Day 1001 of Getting Over Her

[Advance notice: Please add my upcoming novel, When the World Comes Rushing Toward You [Pregnancy First]. Blurb below]

1.

The day Ren Sihui decided to stop holding herself back, she signed up for an "on the road" tour and had a brief marriage in Ireland.

Her new husband was Pei Ziye, a handsome, dependable, responsible man with an easygoing personality.

The Pei family was a powerful elite clan in Jinggang. The second son, born into a family of scholars, had a wild streak and loved traveling all over the world.

That year, news suddenly broke that he'd gotten married, causing an uproar in elite circles. Everyone wondered what kind of woman had managed to tame the wandering playboy.

When they finally saw her, they understood: She was stunning, with a bewitching charm and a graceful figure.

Seeing the couple so inseparable they made everyone else jealous, people assumed they'd be able to attend the Pei family's wedding banquet once they returned to China.

But the bride disappeared. The Pei family's once spirited second son couldn't find his wife, and he stopped talking much, becoming a powder keg that could explode at the slightest spark.

After that, no one dared mention the name Ren Sihui.

2.

Ren Sihui never expected to run into Pei Ziye again after their reckless encounter.

By then, she'd begun to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry on the strength of her pretty face.

Once, she represented her production team at a luxury brand gala.

There were industry rumors that the Wince Group planned to enter the entertainment business. The new CEO was said to have a bad temper but a sharp eye, and the producer wanted him to invest in their production.

Ren Sihui had been pushed into taking on the task, but when she saw her "ex-husband," whom she hadn't seen in three years, onstage, she panicked and fled.

The man, who had been speaking confidently onstage, stopped as well. Across the crowd staring at one another beneath the stage, he fixed his gaze on the figure hurrying away, his eyes growing darker and darker.

As the party seeking investment, they had to meet the investor's every demand. Wince agreed to invest in the production on one condition:

Ms. Ren had to come and ask him herself.

The producer used every threat and enticement they could think of, leaving Ren Sihui no choice but to ask.

She nervously expected Pei Ziye to make things difficult, but he signed the contract without hesitation.

But when she returned to the set, Ren Sihui found that her role had been changed. The director assigned her a marginal character with lots of fight scenes and wouldn't let her use a stunt double.

Ren Sihui was indignant. She was good at dramatic scenes, while fight scenes had always been her weak point. After spending all day on a wire rig and scraping her ankle against the support pole, she hid in a corner of the set and cried.

That day, a shadow fell over her. The man looked down at her from above, his eyes dark with displeasure.

He said two things to her.

[Why are you crying?]

[Is some second-rate role really worth your tears?]

After that, top-tier resources surrounded her. She went from a B-list nobody to a popular young actress, then from a rising star to a leading actress, winning countless awards. He was always by her side.

Upcoming novel blurb

He Youjia took the initiative to break up with her boyfriend. That same night, she got blackout drunk and gave her first time to a stranger. Her friend mocked her for being ungrateful, saying that with her looks, she could never find anyone better.

But a month later, when He Youjia went to the company for an internship, she ran into the man who had taken her first time. She also unexpectedly discovered that she was pregnant.

Si Jinnian was the company's owner. When he learned that He Youjia was pregnant with his child, his first words were:

"So, how much will it take for you to abort the baby?"

The Si family had been an only-son line for eight generations. They were all refined and well-mannered, yet Si Jinnian had turned out to be a womanizer, going out to all kinds of rowdy places with his silver hair.

Si Jinnian had a grandmother. She usually turned a blind eye to his wild behavior because he was the family's only child, but how dare he encourage a young woman to abort his baby!

The old lady couldn't stand it. She dragged her unfilial grandson by the ear to kneel before the ancestors' tablets and shouted, "If you dare not marry her, then this time next year will be the anniversary of your own grandmother's death!"

He Youjia expected nothing from marrying Si Jinnian.

At first, she just wanted a place to live.

Then she started hoping Si Jinnian would come home early.

Then she began to crave his love.

He Youjia thought this was turning into a serious problem!

Meanwhile, the man already planning to get busy making babies thinks: This is going very well! (sly grin.jpg)
