Blurb:
From the very first moment Xu Man saw Luo Yichi, all her attention was captivated by this sun-bright boy.
Luo Yichi was bold and dazzling, a born winner.
Xu Man was plain and ordinary, an excellent student who had gotten into college through hard work and diligence.
Like two parallel lines that would never meet, Xu Man knew Luo Yichi could not see her, did not know her, and did not recognize her. So she never expected to have anything to do with him.
All she needed was to hide in a corner, keep this secret crush hidden from the light and buried forever in her heart, and let it spur her to keep working hard and keep getting closer to that dazzling person.
But fate always seems to enjoy playing tricks on people.
An accident brought her path together with Luo Yichi's.
It was the fourth year she had been in love with him.
That year, Xu Man went against the principles she had always lived by, let herself go, and did three outrageous things:
She slept with Luo Yichi.
She got pregnant before marriage.
She married him because of the baby.
She had thought it would all be a beautiful beginning. But reality often delivers a painful lesson that jolts dreamers awake.
Xu Man's year of blissful dreams ended, and her heart went cold in an instant.
The second year of their marriage.
Xu Man took off her ring, left a divorce agreement behind, and walked away from Luo Yichi without looking back.
-
Luo Yichi had a secret: he loved Chi Ning, the older girl who had been fostered in his home.
He knew that he and Chi Ning could never be together in this lifetime.
Perhaps Heaven took pity on him. One night, when he was drunk, he smelled the same gardenia fragrance on Xu Man that Chi Ning wore.
Luo Yichi was overjoyed. He had found a substitute for Chi Ning!
He confessed to Xu Man, married her, and made her promises. He poured all his love for Chi Ning into Xu Man without holding back, hoping only that whenever he returned home, he could smell that familiar gardenia fragrance and comfort the heart and body of a man who could never have the one he wanted.
Just when Luo Yichi thought they could go on like this for the rest of their lives, one day Xu Man suddenly seemed to lose her mind. She threw away all the gardenia-scented things he had bought for her and told him she wanted a divorce.
Xu Man had no family, no friends, and nowhere to go in this city. Luo Yichi thought she was only trying to scare him and would not leave.
But Xu Man left anyway.
One day, two days...
One month, two months...
Xu Man never came back.
Luo Yichi panicked.
Xu Man had been gone for six years. No one knew that Luo Yichi had kept one of the long hairs she had left on the bed close to his heart for all six years.
-
Xu Man fell in love with Luo Yichi before he even knew who she was.
Luo Yichi fell in love with Xu Man after she left him.

Blurb, Version 1.0:
Before her zodiac year had even arrived, Xia Mingran was already having a run of bad luck. First, her investment product collapsed, then someone stole the results of her work, and now she had been diagnosed with breast nodules.
Her best friend found her a fortune-teller. After examining her fate, the fortune-teller said this was a sign that she was about to offend the Grand Duke Jupiter. There was only one way to ward it off: she had to get married before her zodiac year arrived and use romance to drive away bad luck.
Her best friend said, "I know a great guy. Want me to introduce you?"
Xia Mingran said, "Send me his WeChat."
- Both parents deceased, a monthly salary of 80,000, and a home with no mortgage.
- Awkward and taciturn, with no idea how to charm women.
- Twenty-two years old.
Young and a great catch.
Xia Mingran started chatting with the great guy.
Meeting in person did not disappoint. The great guy was very attentive.
Although he was too shy to hold her hand, and his palm got sweaty as soon as he did;
he was also too shy to hug her, and trembled nervously as soon as he did;
and he was even more afraid to kiss her, going stiff from head to toe as soon as he did...
But it was fine. She understood. He was shy and inexperienced, and everyone was nervous the first time. She would teach him properly from now on.
The day before her twenty-fourth birthday, Xia Mingran and the great guy got their marriage license.
On their first night as newlyweds, Xia Mingran declared confidently, "Shall I teach you?"
The young man, usually so quiet, said nothing. With a serious expression, he took off his bath towel and pounced on her, holding her with a strength that seemed determined to meld her into his bones. He bit at her lips, as if he wanted to devour her whole...
Waaah...
After a sleepless night, Xia Mingran realized that her best friend and Hang Yan had conspired to deceive her.
The age was the only true thing. Everything else was a lie.
-
Hang Yan had fallen for Xia Mingran the very first time he saw her.
Xia Mingran was the moon in the sky, while Hang Yan was dust on the ground.
Hang Yan knew he was not good enough for her, so he always kept his distance and made sure she never saw him, afraid his presence would sully her eyes.
He never imagined that one day even humble dust would have a chance to touch the bright moon...
-
Later.
Another night of working overtime.
Xia Mingran had finished two TV series and browsed three shopping websites. As she debated whether to stay at the office and kill time or head home, a message from Hang Yan arrived.
- Keep working late. No need to hurry home.
- Unlike me, home alone, unable to think about anything but you.

- All clean and waiting for you to come home, wifey~

Theme: Every woman is the heroine of her own life, independent and strong!
💔 The more I read, the more I realize what kind of novel I'm reading. I paid money to read it. The first 20 chapters are okay, but the more I read later, the more I feel depressed.
I hope Xu Man doesn't fall in love with Luo Yichi again in the end, but just remembers his old love and is willing to accept him again. After all, forgetting the harm he had caused to you was equivalent to stabbing yourself in the back when you were once covered in scars.
The hero loves the heroine and he continues to love the heroine even when they are about to divorce. After the divorce, I stopped loving her if I said I didn't love her. Then I turned around and said that I loved the heroine. This love is very cheap.
Can the harm Chi Ning caused to Xu Man by acquiescing to those transgressive behaviors be easily erased with an apology? Everything is a cycle of cause and effect. She once actively or passively accepted the ambiguity with Luo Yichi. What harm did it bring to the heroine? The female lead gave birth twice (not to mention that this had nothing to do with Chi Ning. If she had strongly stopped Luo Yichi from caring too much about her and kept a distance from Luo Yichi, Luo Yichi and Xu Man might not have done the same). Chi Ning had planted such a morally unethical cause. Why didn't she receive retribution? She also said that she had no intention of destroying other people's marriages. This explanation only showed that she was hypocritical and selfish. Such a character only deserves to be ruined. The author should not be too kind to her 💔. As for the other culprit, Luo Yichi, he should completely cut off contact with Chi Ning. Even if he finally reconciles, he should live with the guilt and regret for the heroine for the rest of his life. Why should he forget the harm he has caused to the heroine? The deeper my love for Xu Man, the more I hate myself for hurting Xu Man [Hands together]
I was really disgusted by this Chi Ning and the male protagonist. This is the first time I have written a book review after more than ten years of reading. This Chi Ning clearly knew that the man liked him. He said it was impossible and refused, but his body movements were very honest. He called the male protagonist early in the morning and yelled at the male protagonist, "Oh my god." As for our dear male protagonist, the only artist under his banner is Chi Ning. Six years have passed and he still hasn't realized his problem. He is still trying to hide it, saying that the female protagonist misunderstood that he likes Chi Ning. Of course, our boneless heroine has been around for 6 years and has had two children, but she still feels inexplicably sad about the hero's behavior, angry and concerned about the various little actions of the hero and Chi Ning. Forehead. . . . All I can say is that I can't put my hand in. The label of this article is still Chasing Wife Crematorium. . . . Redefining Wife Chasing Crematorium. I really want to vomit
What does it have to do with the heroine? What do you think? Even though he is the hero's friend, it's so rude to act like this. The same goes for the female protagonist. When it comes to chasing his wife in the crematorium, the male protagonist responds after a little flattery. There are so many bullshit issues that have not yet been resolved. I don't allow it.
At most, for the sake of his good behavior, I can barely accept him. It's too outrageous to still love him. Xu Man's previous performance was not like that of someone who can't handle things 😂
So this chapter is about the interaction between the two after Xu Man left. What about Luo and Xu Man's marriage? How should they explain their out-of-bounds behavior? Isn't this secretary just avoiding the important and taking the easy? Wasn't Luo's previous behavior a mental cheating? Isn't Chi just knowing what's important and what's important?
If there are any extras, please don't write about them remarrying, don't get married, really don't get married!
