[High-and-mighty sharp-tongued woman vs. proud man who keeps his feelings bottled up]
[One-on-one, happy ending, unconventional fake marriage-to-love story]
Wu You had it all: a prestigious university, a top company, and a smooth path through life. After breaking up with her boyfriend of five years, a medical PhD, she turns around and marries Li Zhi, a nouveau riche man.
He’s a playboy with little education, and seems to have no good qualities apart from his handsome face.
Wu You is certain she’ll never fall for him...
One day, Wu You gets all dressed up to meet her ex. Li Zhi stands by, mocking her mercilessly. “So you miss him, long for him, can’t forget him, and keep him in your thoughts?”
“Li Zhi, I didn’t expect you to have such an extensive vocabulary, considering how little you’ve read.”
How could a woman be so sharp-tongued? Li Zhi won’t allow himself to fall for her either.
[Same-age power couple, push and pull, healing and redemption, love between equals]
The woman: At first glance, she’s like a cool breeze on a summer night. Take another look, and she’s a wicked wind.
The man: Handsome and wealthy at first meeting. Look closer, and he’s a cheating fool!
“You two don’t get along anyway, so the safest thing is for you to get married.”
“How about signing a contract first? One time with you on top, one time with me on top?”
The words he keeps buried in his heart: “Am I someone you’re ashamed to be seen with?”
Corporate executive woman vs. small-business owner
She mistakes him for shallow and vulgar; he thinks she’s calculating and arrogant.
Wu You is a finely tuned machine. Li Zhi is the unexpected variable that makes her break free.
Li Zhi is a fish swimming in circles against the current. Wu You is the heartache that came too late.
They reject love, yet can’t help falling in love.
Falling in love with someone is actually quite dangerous. It’s unexpected, uncontrollable, and can happen without you noticing... A candlestick tips over. At first, it’s only a small flame in a corner that no one sees. In the end, it often becomes a blaze that engulfs the entire world.
Notes:
1. Realistic style, everyday life, gentle pacing, and a slow burn. Set in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai region.
2. The male lead is misunderstood at first. In reality, he’s charming and faithful to his partner.
3. The female lead isn’t good at loving people. The reason is revealed later.
4. The first chapter largely represents the author’s values. If anything bothers you, feel free to drop the story.
(If you care about the setup, check the author’s note at the end of Chapter One!)
5. The final four bonus chapters are about the protagonists’ decision to remain child-free. If your views differ and you only want romance and a traditional marriage, you can stop subscribing after the proposal chapter. (The chapter titles will indicate this.) In any case, they’ll be happy together!

The male lead is number three, the one who catches up later. His feelings are based on a misunderstanding:
When Wen Zhen first meets Ji Ruqian, she is both the first love of Wu Qingze, heir to the Wu family, and the secret lover of his cousin, Yu Lan Feng.
He should look down on her, despise her, and stay away from a woman who’s dating two men at once!
Yet the unruly Wen Zhen still falls for her, and gets swept up in an unexpected catastrophe.
[Calculating woman vs. 1. Refined and gentle 2. Ambitious 3. Unruly]
[Power couple, clashing souls, evenly matched] [Serious story, happy ending]
Female lead’s revenge plot (the story backdrop, not a workplace novel):
Everyone thinks Ji Ruqian will marry Wu Qingze, especially after she joins Wu Pharmaceuticals and works diligently to rise through the ranks...
But Ji Ruqian secretly makes a deal with Yu Lan Feng, the Wu family’s sworn enemy.
Is she so greedy and disloyal because she wants fame or money?
Wu Qingze hates her; Yu Lan Feng is wary of her.
No one knows that Ji Ruqian came for the explosion that shocked the whole city years ago. She wants the truth, and she wants someone to pay.

Theme: Put aside prejudice and understand one another.
I ordered it all, I love this book. Understand their twisting and entanglement, the push and pull between Youyou and Li Zhi is very interesting. The love line is very interesting and amazing, and it has become more interesting and lively because of the addition of friends such as Sister Nanfeng and Zhuozi. The transformation of the male and female protagonists after they met is a long-term psychological attack, and it is indeed a story with a sour feeling. The characters of the male and female protagonists may be written to be noisy and exaggerated to some extent, but the author did not give an omnipotent golden finger to make the characters flat and fall into the trap of ordinary domineering male protagonists and career-oriented female protagonists. In fact, I'm a little hesitant to use the word "strong woman" to describe Yoyo. I always feel that this term a bit obliterates her "ego". Although she has outstanding work achievements, what resonates more deeply with her is her family regrets and lack of care that are not shared by outsiders. There is no choice to suspend the emotions of the characters under the personality. Many moments are written very delicately, and the pain behind them can be seen, which also creates a thought-provoking family line. In the limited space, the story is loaded with broader energy, come on Sheng Ning! Write more, love to read, and support you! You will get better and better. 😍
Besides, she couldn't control the situation. Li Zhi's black trousers were wet and leaking. A small piece of thin clothing fell to the ground, followed by a shallow penetration. She finally calmed down and wrapped her legs around his waist. The moment you step in, it feels so comfortable that your toes will curl up. Li Zhi suddenly couldn't stand it anymore, his scalp tightened, and his emotions found a foothold all night. I thought about being gentle before, but I unconsciously went deeper.
Collapse! It is a realistic theme that I particularly love. I love all imperfect people exploring, growing, and showing their claws in real life, but they also put away their edge because of love, unsolvable love. But that is not compromise or cowardice, but becoming a better version of yourself! I love Yuyou in the story. She is not perfect, but she has countless bright spots that make people envious, just like countless of us walking in the city. After reading this article, I couldn't help but comment several times (I don't usually comment), because the author has created a group of flesh-and-blood people in a macroscopic and clear world. I have read many realistic novels before, most of which took place in Beijing. This is the first time I saw a story that took place in Shanghai. It is very subtle, so subtle that when I was working in Zhongshan Park, I was thinking on the commute, maybe I will pass by Youyou? This feeling is very strange and rare, because I know it is fake, but I am willing to believe that everything is true. The author's writing skills are amazing! Cried Excellent!!!!
Evenly matched love, this article is unique [touch your head][touch your head]
I have to say that the writing is really good. You can't tell it's the first article at all. It's unconventional and eye-catching. It can attract people to keep reading. Writing really requires talent.
I read the entire article in half a day. You are really good at writing 💪, portraying Yoyo and her brother-in-law with flesh and blood and emotions, as if you are watching the stories of the people around you. Youyou is self-confident and self-reliant, and has taken good care of herself on her own as an adult. Love your neighbor first and love yourself first. Let me see the great power of women! I also want to learn from Youyou, not to be a climbing flower or an infatuated bird. In the future life, be a strong kapok tree. The first book is so well written [like][like]
The direction started to be ridiculous. The metal behind him was a little cold, but the person in front of him was very hot. The same thing is that they are very hard, pushing her there, unable to move forward or retreat.
Following her movements, she moved to his lips. How could Li Zhi still be able to hold it back? If he held her in his mouth, the little bit of consciousness he had just left was completely wiped out.
The dress was parted, and Li Zhi's broad palms reached in, and at the same time his face was buried, like clouds floating and warm.
Youyou suddenly felt a little thirsty. She had to drink something after a long journey, so she licked her lips helplessly. The next moment... Li Zhi's she had already reached in, letting Jin/Ye pass, but Youyou's restlessness became even stronger.
