Canary Withdrawal Symptoms [GB]

Originally titled The CEO and Her Little Darling Husband Ever since her family fell on hard times, Jiang Duan had spent every day struggling to make ends meet, while also fending off creditors who showed up at her door. Exhausted in body and mind, Jiang Duan met Shen Ning. Draped in a dark coat and leaning against the expensive sports car behind her, Shen Ning exhaled a cloud of smoke and turned her head to smile at her. "You're beautiful." Before Jiang Duan could react, she added, "Want to come with me?" In Jiang Duan's eyes, Shen Ning had rescued her from misery. She was a good person, a goddess. Jiang Duan had no reason to turn her down. Shen Ning helped her beat off the rich, spoiled brats who kicked her when she was down, and paid off her debts. She told her to quit her job, then sent her off to act in films. She said she wanted everyone in the world to know how wonderful her lover was. She gave Jiang Duan everything she had never had before. Jiang Duan once thought the purpose of the rest of her life was to live for Shen Ning. Until Shen Ning's one true love returned from abroad. On a stormy night, Shen Ning stepped out of a stranger's car. He held an umbrella over her and draped his suit jacket around her shoulders. By the light of a streetlamp, Jiang Duan saw a face that looked a third like her own. "It's over between us. Don't come after me again." Shen Ning blocked the man beside her from view and drove Jiang Duan away without giving her a chance to speak. Only then did Jiang Duan understand: Shen Ning had once saved her from the abyss, only to push her into another hell. - Later, Jiang Duan returned home in triumph as an internationally acclaimed movie star. At a lavish banquet filled with clinking glasses, the star and the investor vanished at the same time. In an empty hallway, Jiang Duan rested her head against Shen Ning's neck, her eyes red. "I actually don't like acting at all." But I like you. tips: Blurb written on 2023.7.26, with minor edits. The male lead is a poor, aloof white lotus with a love-addled brain. The female lead is awful when it comes to romance. A little angsty for the male lead [though I think it's not too bad, just a little angst, maybe 50 percent]. The male lead's perspective is a bit tragic [he basically gets the treatment of a female lead in an old-school romance]. For the male lead, it's a mix of sour and sweet; for the female lead, it's a delicious little sweet treat. The whole story won't be too long, around 200,000 words. The male lead gets rich later on, but not as rich as the female lead. The plot will go wild. The female lead is not a virgin, while the male lead is. The entertainment industry doesn't take up much of the story. The only officially licensed edition is on Jinjiang. Reading it anywhere other than Jinjiang is piracy. Happy ending. Gender reversal. Theme: Working hard and striving for success
