The Art of Taming Cats

[Female CEO and her male kept spouse, BG, melodramatic catlike male lead, older woman-younger man romance with a four-year age gap] 1. Cheng Sijin took a liking to an obscure male model. The man was young and handsome, with broad shoulders, long legs, a narrow, supple waist, and a tempting red mole on his lip. At a party, Cheng Sijin made him an offer. He didn’t even glance at the check. His expression was arrogant and spoiled, with a trace of impatience and disgust in his eyes. “Get lost. Stay away from me, you lowlifes.” “About him,” her friend said with a laugh when she heard, “President Cheng, that’s Lu Miao, the young master of the Lu family. He’s only modeling for fun. He can’t do anything, he’s a spoiled useless rich kid, and he’s got a nasty temper.” Cheng Sijin smiled and agreed. “People have a lot of backbone when they aren’t hungry.” 2. Later, the once-prosperous Lu family collapsed, leaving behind massive debts. On a winter day, Cheng Sijin ran into Lu Miao again. As the first snow fell, the young master came to her alone, with nowhere else to turn. He cast all his past pride at her feet, letting her trample it. His beautiful eyes gazed at her pleadingly. It wasn’t too late to bow his head now. Cheng Sijin stared into his eyes and took him home. 3. Her interest in a man usually lasted no more than three months. She assumed that after the novelty wore off, she’d cast Young Master Lu aside too. Three months, five months, a year… Three years later, the pitiful little bad cat had been spoiled until he was all claws and teeth. He even brought up old grievances when they argued, then came over afterward with tears in his eyes and bit her. “I’ll cook for you and warm your bed. Don’t go have dinner with that young celebrity…” [Reader Advisory] 1. HE. The female lead is not a virgin, while the male lead is. Readers who hold the female lead to high moral standards should proceed with caution. 2. Of course, there will be male supporting characters who have unrequited feelings for the female lead. 3. The setting is entirely fictional. There are no real-life inspirations, so please don’t read too much into it.
