Blurb:

Jiang Tang has spent six years in showbiz, going from a naive newcomer to someone who can now handle anything. She fought her way up from the lowest tier, and now, as a third-tier star, has countless fans.

All for one person: Shen Ci.

Then one day, after accidentally offending the investor in her next production, Jiang Tang finds her career on the brink of a total ban.

Desperate, she goes to the owner of her agency and blurts out, "President Shen, I heard you've been pressured to get married for three years, but still haven't. Everyone online says you're sexually frigid."

Shen Ci looks up, her voice unreadable. "And?"

Jiang Tang grits her teeth. "Marry me. We can both benefit!"

And then...

That afternoon, Jiang Tang stares blankly at the marriage certificate in her hands, her thoughts galloping like a thousand horses.

She actually married the person she's been secretly in love with?!

Jiang Tang was Shen Ci's junior for three years. After graduating from high school, she even applied to the drama school next door to Shen Ci's college, just so she could live in the same city and continue her unrequited love.

She never imagined that one day her love would be returned.

Everyone says Shen Ci is impartial at work and cold as ice. Only Jiang Tang knows how different she is in private.

When drunk, Shen Ci turns childish, coming home crying and begging Jiang Tang to sleep with her.

Jiang Tang can't resist that side of Shen Ci. So, in every corner of their home, she agrees to one request after another.

Every time, it only ends when Jiang Tang pushes Shen Ci away in tears.

Nine years after her debut, Jiang Tang is invited to take part in an outdoor reality show. It should be an ordinary variety program, but millions of viewers notice something odd.

[Whoa, look at the corner of this shot. Is that the owner of Jiang Tang's agency?! [Picture]]

[Wait, it really is! What is she doing? Putting shoes on Jiang Tang?!]

[Oh my god, what a scoop. Is Jiang Tang really being kept by someone?]

Overnight, the phrase "Jiang Tang is being kept" shoots to the top of the trending topics.

The real "sugar mommy" finally can't take it anymore. She reposts one of the comments and adds:

[Is there a problem with me putting shoes on my own wife?]

-

Bonus scene:

Shen Ci returns from a business dinner and reaches toward Jiang Tang on the bed, expressionless. "Give it to me."

Jiang Tang looks innocent. "Give you what?"

Shen Ci's eyes suddenly redden. She says nothing.

Jiang Tang's heart softens. "All right, all right."

Shen Ci keeps her hand out. "Take my hand and do it yourself."

Jiang Tang: ?

The next morning, she opens Tieba: [Question: What do I do about a cold-faced CEO who wants too much?]

[The next novel in the author's column is now underway]

[My Wife Doesn't Seem to Be Okay Without Me]

Blurb (saved May 20, 2026):

Chen Zui meets someone very gentle. The first time they meet, she thinks she sees "It's been so long" in the other woman's eyes.

But Chen Zui doesn't seem to recognize her.

On her second day in Qingzhou, Chen Zui suddenly discovers that she and the gentle woman are neighbors, one living right above the other.

The water is cut off, so Chen Zui patters upstairs to ask to borrow her bathroom.

The power goes out, so Chen Zui patters upstairs to borrow her hair dryer.

She makes a big meal, then carries a plate upstairs and invites the woman to eat with her.

A storm rages, with lightning and thunder, and Chen Zui rushes upstairs again, scared and asking for protection

Wait, why is the woman hiding in the corner of the bed?

So Chen Zui picks her up, holds her close, and gently comforts her.

It takes Chen Zui a long time to figure out that the butterflies in her stomach mean she's in love. It takes just as much effort to let go of her belief that she's cursed to be alone and destined to live out her days by herself. At last, she works up the courage to confess.

But Jiang Feiwan cries and says, "Chen Zui, could you please not be with me?"

After everything she's overcome, how could Chen Zui give up? She tries to reach Jiang Feiwan's heart.

But something doesn't add up...

She can't understand why Jiang Feiwan, who is so gentle and so wonderful, is waiting for an accident that will end her life.

And she never imagined that she would be the salvation Jiang Feiwan had waited more than a decade for.

Then, when death fails to claim Jiang Feiwan again and sends her back to Chen Zui, Chen Zui realizes that Jiang Feiwan really might not be able to manage without her!

No, no, no.

She can't manage without Jiang Feiwan, either!

She's going to die. The moment her wife is out of sight, she's like an ant on a hot pan, unable to sit still.

One morning, she wakes up and finds Jiang Feiwan isn't beside her. Chen Zui's eyes turn red as she searches everywhere. "Waaah, honey..."

They go shopping, Chen Zui turns around and can't see Jiang Feiwan, and she abandons the cart. "Where's my wife?"

She wants to be Jiang Feiwan's human attachment, hiding in her clothes every day and going on adventures.

Who is it that has the most fearsome tattoo sleeve but does the most cowardly things?

Please note:

1. One-on-one romance, happy ending.

2. Not a long novel, with a touch of healing.

3. Some melodrama, and lots of original worldbuilding.

4. The leads switch, but Chen Zui is more often on top.

Premise: Persevere, and unrequited love will come true
