Upcoming novel, My Ex-Wife Becomes My Boss. Blurb below. Updates daily at noon after signing, with extra chapters at 9 p.m. If you treat your difficult female boss like your girlfriend, you’ll find that every problem suddenly becomes easy to solve. After Xia Wei broke up with her ex-girlfriend, she went back to her hometown and interviewed at a company. Her boss was a real piece of work, and Xia Wei wanted to quit on her very first day. A friend gave her a terrible idea: treat her boss like a girlfriend, and nothing would be a problem. They even bet that if Xia Wei stuck it out for six months, the friend would buy her the collectible figure she wanted most. Waking up in the middle of the night to a call telling me to pick her up? She’s my girlfriend. It’s my duty. She moves into the apartment across from mine, and I pick her up and drop her off at work every day. Oh, she’s my girlfriend. It’s a privilege. She gets angry easily, throws tantrums, and loves ordering people around. Xia Wei puts up with all of it, because if she lasts six months, she’ll get her favorite collectible figure. “Xia Wei, how do you put up with Director Song?” a coworker asked, fishing for gossip. Xia Wei was bold enough to answer outright. “It’s simple. Treat her like your girlfriend, and those things won’t seem like a big deal.” The coworker across from her thought it made sense, but then glanced behind Xia Wei and quickly sat back down. Song Qiao had just come out to ask Xia Wei to drive her somewhere, and she’d heard everything. Girlfriend? Song Qiao found it ridiculous and thought Xia Wei was imagining things. In the days that followed, she deliberately avoided Xia Wei, thinking that would stop her from dwelling on what Xia Wei had said. Xia Wei would be lying if she said she wasn’t hurt. After all, she and Song Qiao had been through thick and thin together. Still, she didn’t mind the free time and started counting down the days until she could quit, get her collectible figure, and go traveling. “You’re quitting?” Song Qiao was surprised and reflexively tried to stop her. After that, Xia Wei noticed that Song Qiao had changed. She’d become... incredibly gentle... so gentle that Xia Wei wondered if she’d been possessed. Especially after Xia Wei’s ex-girlfriend showed up, Song Qiao got drunk and blocked her doorway. “Didn’t you say I was your girlfriend? How can you go back on your word?” Upcoming novel: My Ex-Wife Becomes My Boss Li Zihe never expected to run into Ji Yubai at her new company, much less find out that Ji Yubai was her boss. They’d met during a brief summer when Ji Yubai came to vacation at the resort where Li Zihe worked. As the young owner, Li Zihe personally looked after her, but by the end of her stay, the two of them had ended up in bed together. It was a relationship with an expiration date. Li Zihe called it love, but Ji Yubai saw it as nothing more than a brief fling. They agreed to act like strangers if they met again. Li Zihe kept her word, but Ji Yubai wasn’t having it. “You can’t stay here. Move in with me.” “It’s raining. Take my car.” “Want to do it?” Li Muhe realized Ji Yubai was incredibly soft-hearted. All Li Muhe had to do was put on a pitiful face, and Ji Yubai would indulge her. She just never expected that indulgence to become Ji Yubai’s trump card at home. At an internal meeting, Li Muhe saw the surveillance footage from the elevator and went pale. She instinctively looked at Ji Yubai, bracing herself for Ji Yubai to disown her. A close friend’s upcoming novel, already being drafted: She Doesn’t Play Chopin Anymore Elegant, alluring older pianist x tearful, obsessive, flirtatious younger woman 【Xu Hanshi’s perspective】 Xu Hanshi hated young women and hated people who cried. Bai Zhihui was both. She’d been exiled abroad and was living in London with no one to rely on, staying at Xu Hanshi’s home. She cried often, sometimes all night. Xu Hanshi couldn’t take it, so she took her to concerts, the opera, and to meet her friends. Sometimes, when others teased Bai Zhihui, they’d ask her, “Hanshi, who’s this?” Xu Hanshi took a sip of wine, her red lips glistening with moisture, beautiful as a blade. “A friend’s kid.” Later, Bai Zhihui brushed aside the kiss Xu Hanshi leaned in to give her and tapped her lips. “Xu Hanshi, I’m just your friend’s kid.” 【Bai Zhihui’s perspective】 Bai Zhihui had been prepared for the truth to come out from the start. Everything was for revenge. Anyone could be a pawn, and she was even willing to sacrifice herself. But when the truth finally came to light, when Xu Hanshi said, “Loving you... I never knew it could make me this desperate,” Bai Zhihui found herself heartbroken and in tears. 【Reader’s Guide + Content Warnings】 1. The protagonists are flawed characters. 2.
