A sharp tongue feels good in the moment, but tomorrow brings the ultimate battlefield to win your wife back | The untouchable beauty x The clear-eyed realist
1
Everyone said that Meng Zhi, from an ordinary family, had finally risen to the top thanks to her pretty face, marrying into the powerful Song family.
After marrying into wealth, Meng Zhi was thoughtful, meticulous, and adept at handling people. She quickly found her footing in high society.
People also said Meng Zhi must have gone to great lengths to secure her hard-won position as Mrs. Song.
Her friend felt sorry for her, but Meng Zhi lowered her eyes and smiled. "They're not wrong. I'm not angry."
Ever since that New Year's Eve party when she was sixteen, Song Qingli had stood beneath the spotlight and casually glanced toward the audience. That one look had become her obsession for seven years.
So when Song Qingli proposed a marriage of convenience, she hid her trembling fingertips and signed her name.
She knew it was all an act to appease their elders, but she willingly let herself get swept up in it.
How could she not go to great lengths?
The moon was within reach.

After they married, Meng Zhi did her best to play the wealthy wife Song Qingli wanted. Her obedience and competence gradually won his approval.
When Meng Zhi noticed a change in Song Qingli's attitude, she thought she had finally touched his heart and couldn't help losing herself in the hope.
Who could have guessed that just as Meng Zhi was about to confess her feelings to Song Qingli and tell him about her seven-year-long secret crush,
she would accidentally overhear him on the phone with his family? His voice was cold as he said, "Didn't you know Meng Zhi and I are only pretending to be married? Why are you asking about children? We're never going to have any."
Meng Zhi came to her senses, and suddenly all the pride she'd taken in herself over the past two years seemed laughable.
The next day, she told Song Qingli, "Our agreement is almost over. Please settle the expenses for these past two years and pay me."

Some people are born above the clouds, and no one fits that description better than Song Qingli. Life had always come easily to him. He never had to struggle for anything he wanted, and it was just as hard to please him.
His only expectation of Meng Zhi was that she obey him.
When she did well, he gave her a little more patience.
That was all. There was nothing more.
He didn't think there was anything special about Meng Zhi.
Until they met again at a party.
Meng Zhi had her arm linked through another man's, her figure swaying gracefully beneath her gown. He stood frozen with a glass of champagne in his hand, while she didn't even spare him a glance.
Song Qingli stared in astonishment, then fixed his gaze on her shapely retreating figure. His eyes held an intensity and depth he hadn't even noticed in himself.
Ever since word got out that Meng Zhi and Song Qingli had divorced, everyone had been waiting to laugh at Meng Zhi for seeing her dream of marrying into wealth fall apart.
But instead of hearing news of Meng Zhi's downfall, they heard rumors that the president of Song Group had spent a fortune buying up every prime-time advertising slot on television, all to invite Meng Zhi, the network's current female host, to dinner.
Sitting down to eat with Song Qingli once again, Meng Zhi was perfectly polite and didn't look up even once.
She set down her knife and fork and stood to leave, but Song Qingli grabbed her slender, porcelain-white wrist. "Meng Zhi, if you don't like me anymore, why can't you even look me in the eye?"
#The way you fell from your pedestal is a thousand times more pathetic than how I looked back then#

Song Qingli x Meng Zhi
Reader's Guide:
The male lead is a jerk at first, the kind who doesn't realize he's in love. Happy ending.
Please don't give me writing advice in any form. If you don't like it, please just drop the story. Thanks for understanding.
Theme: Love passionately, and pursue your dreams with all your heart.
It felt like the ending was rushed and sloppy. Many things were not explained clearly, including who framed Song, the punishment of Chen Chen and his sister, and who would inherit the family business. I don't believe that Song's father would pass the family property to the boss. It felt unfinished. I hope there will be an extra chapter to explain it clearly.
I don't know how to put it, but it feels like the writing is quite messy, with many typos and some paragraphs even missing words!
I think the beginning of the movie is very good. I like the whole plot from the beginning to the end. But the last few chapters always feel a bit rushed and not written on my heart. I feel that it is still worth watching [Orange Candy]. I have eaten it.
It started but ended, and I have been chasing it until now, but the ending looks boring.
Why is the heroine so obedient? An unfilial daughter like me never listens to her mother.
It doesn't look good. It's not explained clearly at the end. It still feels like a mess. It's unfinished.
Wuwuwuwu, there is no extra chapter about bringing up the baby. Is this the end?
Wow, it's really too slow! It's been two months, and I haven't updated a single chapter.
When will there be more leftovers!!!! It's so uncomfortable to be stuck
The if line said there is one more chapter, so why not update it? 😭
