When Shu Ying became the youngest Best Actress in the Golden Language Awards' history, gossip forums buzzed for days. Soon, they broke the story that she had landed a leading role in a major director's film right after her debut only because she had a powerful sugar daddy backing her.
That sugar daddy turned out to be Lu Ming'an, the new head of the Lu family, whose influence in G City reached everywhere.
Unfortunately, over the next two years Shu Ying rushed from set to set, making quick money from one commercial flop after another, while Lu Ming'an's love life remained tabloid fodder. The media mocked Shu Ying as just one of his many kept women, not even worth paying properly.
But only Shu Ying knew that she and Lu Ming'an had registered their marriage in Las Vegas three years ago, and that she had used despicable means to take him for herself. She knew he still loved someone else. She knew she was merely a tool in his fight against his father.
When she learned that his first love was about to return to the country, Shu Ying knew it was time to leave.
So she decisively asked for a divorce, ending the eight-year-long secret love she had kept hidden from the light.
But she never expected Lu Ming'an to refuse.
Reader's notes:
1. Mutual unrequited love. The hero and heroine have only ever loved each other, heart and soul.
2. The hero deserves to go crazy chasing his wife after refusing to communicate.
3. A short novel of just over 200,000 characters. The author revises it often, so please support the official release!

My historical forced-romance novel, After the Cousin Miss Flirted with the Wrong Man, is now underway. Visit my profile to read it.
Su Tingmei, the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan, suffered a sudden upheaval at home and became a poor relation living under the roof of the Marquis of Dingwen's household.
One day, Su Tingmei dreamed she was offered to Prince Su, Zhao Chong, the most powerful man in the land. He imprisoned her in his manor, keeping her at his side day and night. She woke drenched in cold sweat.
There was no cook from Jiangnan at the prince's manor. How could she stomach the food in the capital?
To change her fate, she decided to win the heart of the capital's noblewomen's shared ideal, the aloof Xie Songtang, and marry him. The plan was going perfectly, but in the end, something went wrong.
Prince Su, Zhao Chong, had spent years on the battlefield. He was ruthless and decisive, yet always kept his abnormal desires under control. He hated most of all those who used that weakness to get close to him and into his bed.
One day, a graceful beauty deliberately stumbled in front of him. A hint of red tinged the corners of her eyes as she looked at him timidly and asked, "My lord, could you help me?"
Zhao Chong saw her collar gaping to reveal the faint outline of her collarbones, shaped like crescent moons that caught his eye. He despised himself for what he felt, yet somehow still grabbed her hand.
Later, when Zhao Chong was gravely wounded, Su Tingmei stood beside his bed with red-rimmed eyes and gave him a blessing pouch she had made herself, hiding her hands, scarred from needle pricks, behind her back.
Suppressing the desire surging in his heart, he put on a cool expression and said, "Since you have shown me such devotion, I will allow you to enter my manor as a concubine."
But he never expected Su Tingmei not to be moved or thank him. Instead, she stared at him with wide eyes, as if he had said something terrifying.
Then one day, he saw Su Tingmei standing before his refined and virtuous cousin, Xie Songtang, pressing a pouch just like his into the young man's hand.
The affection in her eyes was no different from the way she looked at him. In a mournful voice, she said, "Meiniang has cherished you for a long time, my lord. I was misled by someone else before. I hope you will understand how I feel, Lord Xie."
Later, the cousin miss of the Marquis of Dingwen's household mysteriously disappeared.
Xie Songtang searched everywhere for his beloved, but to no avail. Then one day he was invited to a banquet at the prince's manor. As he reached the waterside pavilion in the garden, he suddenly saw the curtains sway...
A bare ankle, marked with suggestive red, slipped out from behind the curtains, only to be seized by a hand accustomed to wielding a blade.
Then he heard his cousin Zhao Chong's voice, hoarse but pitched just loud enough for him to hear: "Tell him, who did you embroider that pouch for?"

This is the end of the text. This is my first time writing a long review after reading a novel. What can I say? The story of Xiao Ying and Mr. Lu is really poignant. But because of misunderstandings and tough words, the two people who had secret crushes missed each other for many years, but fortunately the result was good. After Qiao Wan appeared, she said that the two would rather suffer misunderstandings and misunderstandings than choose to get married. It was really poignant. There were obviously better choices, but they all chose the road of marriage. Mr. Lu silently watched Xiao Ying's interview and bought her a house. Just because of her words, she will also collect the worthless mobile phone that the heroine bought for him many years ago, and the heroine will also regard the earrings given by the hero as a treasure. The two are getting closer to each other. The part in the play is also very touching. Ye Fu, who is restrained by her parents' forced demands, gave birth to a dual personality, but the final outcome is also good. Xiao Ying, who had the same experience, was not loved by her father and became a tool for her parents to please the rich. But fortunately, she met a male protagonist who taught her to say no to things she didn't like. And step by step, she has grown into a movie queen who does not need to please others in the vanity fair of the entertainment industry. Although some people may say that the heroine has the help of the hero behind the heroine's current situation, but what I want to say is that the heroine never thought about asking the hero at the beginning. It was just an excuse for the hero after what happened. In the later stage, the heroine grew up by accepting so-called bad movies, but some big bosses would not provoke the heroine for the sake of the hero's face. The heroine herself is a very capable and successful actress! The female protagonist has also said many times that she is very naughty. This is brought to her by her original family. The lack of care of her parents has made her develop an escape personality. The male protagonist is also influenced by her parents and is afraid of marriage. But at the end of the story, a person who is always afraid and avoids problems, and a person who is afraid of marriage join hands in marriage. Finally, I wish Shu Ying and Lu Mingan in the parallel world to be healthy and happy, and I also wish the author to write more and better works.
Will there be a post-marriage extra? I'm really looking forward to it.
Well, it's very suitable for a literary and artistic person to write about a naughty person.
