[Blurb]

At twenty-two, with university graduation just around the corner, Xi Tong discovered she was pregnant.
After discussing the subject of children in depth for the first time with her long-distance boyfriend of many years, Yu Sixie, the independent Xi Tong decided on her own to keep the baby and leave the father out of it.
Keeping the pregnancy secret, Xi Tong broke up with him without warning.
Then she remembered what a fortune-teller had told her at the beginning of the year.
"Gorgeous girl! Just break up with your current boyfriend, and you'll become rich and successful, and everything you wish for will come true. You'll be a walking lucky charm!"
At the time, she'd scoffed. Meeting Yu Sixie was probably the greatest stroke of luck in her life.
He was handsome, came from a distinguished family, and at the same age of twenty-two, he had already completed his postgraduate studies overseas, returned with an impressive degree, and taken over the family business.
But the fortune-teller's prediction really did come true.
Before she even had time to grieve over the breakup, Xi Tong was suddenly informed that her deceased, gambling-addicted parents had left her a huge fortune, far more than she could ever spend.
After keeping the baby and leaving the father behind, Xi Tong's life took off. Her only worry was that...
Yu Sixie might find out about the child.
This traditional, old-fashioned, cold and domineering man would definitely fight her for custody... and then take her life in bed, without caring what she wanted.

At twenty-nine, Yu Sixie had become so powerful that no one dared cross him. His one regret was that he couldn't let go of his ex.
Why had Xi Tong broken up with him?
Was he not handsome enough, not rich enough, or unable to give her the emotional support and companionship she needed? Or had he wanted it too often, and been bad in bed? Thinking back, she really had cried out in "agony."
After much thought, Yu Sixie leaned toward the third possibility. In his early twenties, he really had been busy.
But no matter how much he regretted it, life didn't offer a do-over.
Still, perhaps he really was going crazy, because he kept thinking that a child influencer on a social media app looked like a blend of him and Xi Tong.
"Mom!"
One day, at a five-star hotel in their hometown, the child influencer reached out to Yu Sixie's first love, whom he hadn't contacted in seven years, asking to be picked up.
Yu Sixie laughed in anger. Xi Tong, you really are something.
What no one knew was how relieved he felt beneath his fury: he had been given another chance.
[Little scene]
On the rumpled bedsheets.
"Do you regret that we broke up because you insisted on having a child?" she asked, her voice hoarse.
"No regrets," he answered, tracing the lovely curves of her body with his fingers.
"Even if it's a despicable thing to say, that child is a bond that means you'll never forget me."

[Sweet, seemingly innocent college girl who knows how to flirt x reserved, sincere professor]
*The heroine's perspective:
At twenty-nine, her career is thriving but her family is broken. Her future boyfriend has been invited to Beijing to give a lecture.
She doesn't know he's a professor, and she doesn't know he's a painter.
All she knows is that the lips she secretly kissed after pretending to be drunk at a bar were so hot they made her tremble.
None of the ten men she'd dated had ever made her feel that way!
She approaches him on purpose, cloaked in innocence, hoping to get nothing more than his body.
But God has more in store for her.
It's hard to escape the family you were born into, hard to make your way in society, and even harder to leave your mark on human history.
Shen Qinglan never expected that sleeping with someone would bring her all those things.
Snow swirls outside the villa in northern Iceland. In the sauna, sweat trickles from his temples and through his dark hair.
He grips her waist, each word pointed: "Shen Qinglan, don't you think this deal is a terrible loss for me?"
"Professor Lu..." The girl lets out a muffled moan. "You chose this yourself. Besides... without me, would you ever have experienced this kind of ecstasy?"
She curls her lips into a smile. When it comes to seducing men, she's never lost.
*The hero's perspective:
At twenty-one, with his senior year about to begin, his future girlfriend Shen Qinglan takes all her savings and flees to Iceland.
It all starts when she's moved by one of his paintings on display in a Beijing gallery.
After an unexpected meeting in Beijing, he helps her prepare for the IELTS, finds her a place to stay in Iceland, and takes her to study volcanoes.
They share a room, watch the aurora, and hike across glaciers.
The one thing he doesn't tell her is that he's the artist she admires.
He secretly rereads the seventy-five messages she sends him on WhatsApp, each one a heartfelt confession.
Lu Jin is delighted.
But with almost a ten-year age gap, he has no idea what to do with such an "innocent, adorable" young woman, and he can't bring himself to make a move.
Until she pins him to the bed and, with a sultry gaze, starts removing his clothes one piece at a time. Only then does Lu Jin realize he's been played!
His temple throbs. "Shen Qinglan! Who taught you to do this?!"
*From God's perspective:
Fate always plays strange jokes at the most inopportune times.
He arrives in a blaze of glory and turns her from a girl with nothing into a world-renowned figure.
Shen Qinglan has always believed Lu Jin saved her, but she saved him, too.
When the news comes crashing down on him, condemning him, she is the only one who chooses to stand by his side.
She will never believe that he killed his parents. Even if he did, she would still love him.
Theme: Be grateful for the people you meet
I feel like the writing is messy, no logic, very jumpy
The heroine looks strong but is weak on the inside. Isn't it bad to be single, young, rich, and have a baby? Grandma insists on introducing a blind date to a man whose family background is much weaker than that of the heroine. She insists on dragging down the heroine who has finally risen through the ranks. Grandma is also an old fool. The female protagonist also loves the male protagonist and can't let go, but she can't live with it in her heart. She has been struggling with it for so many years. She fell in love with him after they met again. She looks cool but she still can't let go of the male protagonist. The heroine also allowed the directors and employees to create rumors about herself. This is unnecessary and will only affect the heroine's image and prestige in the company.
The partners we are looking for should not have come all the way. They already knew everything from the beginning. Why are they still looking down on the heroine? They look down on the heroine and eat the cake that the heroine worked hard for. Why haven't such people been kicked out of the board of directors?
People who read this chapter are extremely uncomfortable. What is the difference between this and QJ...
It's a pity that you write here, treasure
Getting married doesn't mean you can find someone to take care of your children [covering your face, laughing and crying], it's better to find a nanny [changed]
When I see a woman achieve great achievements, I wonder if it's because of sexual intercourse, too...
A child says something like asking an adult to find a man?
Damn, can we meet at a certain station? [Shut up]
Why hasn't it been updated in two months? Can I still watch it? 😭
