He Jia Tong, a first-year graduate student, unexpectedly transmigrates to 1985 and becomes Mu Qi'en, the wealthy young heiress of Longcheng, an international port metropolis.
She used to get up at the crack of dawn and work late into the night, buried in experiments and research. Suddenly, she has money and free time. She can pursue her interests, make handcrafted perfumes, develop herbal skincare products, and even has a devastatingly handsome family friend show up to propose!
Swayed by his looks, or rather, smitten at first sight, she immediately accepts. But he coolly lays down one condition: "We'll sleep in separate rooms after we get married."
With a man this gorgeous, how can I just admire him from afar?
Besides, how can he bring himself to make such an unreasonable demand when he has a beautiful, fair-skinned wife like me?
She grabs his hand.
"What are you doing?" Zhong Feichen stiffens, his neck turning red.
Mu Qi'en holds his wrist and checks his pulse seriously. "I'm seeing whether you have kidney deficiency."
**
Mu Qi'en thought she and Zhong Feichen were in love with each other, and that their marriage would turn into true love. But less than a year after the wedding, he coldly tells her that he married her for revenge.
He never once said he loved her.
He even forces her to sign divorce papers in the way she hates most.
Fine. If that's how it is, she'll leave. She also throws him one last line: "You'd better not regret this.
"Or I'll make you pay for everything, bit by bit."
(A few notes:
1. One-on-one romance. The heroine transmigrates, and the hero is reborn. Past and present lives; both leads are virgins.
2. Set in a fictional world inspired by Hong Kong and Macau in the 1980s. Lots of original details, so please don't nitpick. Thanks!)
Completed contemporary romance: A Promise Between the Sea and the Gull
Tan Xin'ou has long known that Li Zhi is a rich playboy who has romanced countless women. She never expected that, despite having had nothing to do with each other, a twist of fate would turn them into landlord and tenant, pretending to be an engaged couple deeply in love.
She thought it was just a game between adults, but before she knew it, her heart had begun to ache.
Little by little, she felt she was special to him. Perhaps their pretend relationship had already become real.
But then she accidentally overheard him tell a friend, "No woman is worth giving my heart to."
Of course, she was no exception.
Those words shattered the fantasy she knew she shouldn't have entertained, and she left for another country.
They reunite five years later, and she hears that ever since she left, a certain playboy has lived like a monk, stayed faithful, and quietly waited for her to return.
He thinks: She is a gull, and he is the sea. A gull is destined to belong to the sea.
(A few notes:
1. Both leads have had previous partners. Happy ending.
2. The hero really is a playboy, and the heroine has an ex-boyfriend. Please proceed with caution if that bothers you!)

Is the poisoning due to the detergent used for cleaning? There was a previous chapter about cleaning at night, and there was a pungent smell. The cleaning agent said it was because of the use of detergent.
