Ambitious, sly little schemer x calculating older brother who knows she's in love with him

A couple bound by pure hatred | Not actually related

A friend tells Sheng Mingzhi that her brother's flight has run into trouble.

Sheng Mingzhi lazily holds up three fingers. "Which one?"

Her friend lowers the first finger.

"Not the one who wants you dead."

Sheng Mingzhi cuts her off. "They all want me dead. Which one are you talking about?"

Her friend ignores her and lowers the second finger.

"Not the one who loves you most."

That leaves the ring finger, with its diamond ring.

The one who married you.

Sheng Mingzhi smiles calmly. "That's good, then."

Get promoted, get rich, and bury my husband: that's General Manager Sheng's lifelong dream.

Plenty of people wonder when this marriage of convenience will finally fall apart, but no one knows better than the two of them that a marriage without love is as solid as a rock.

When Zhong Yu married Sheng Mingzhi, he already knew plenty of people coveted her.

His older brother, her older brother... oh, his older brother was her older brother too.

But if we're talking about who suits her best, it's still him. After all, they've been fooling around together since they were eighteen.

They sailed through a narrow channel, and the boat capsized.

Sheng Mingzhi says she wants a divorce.

"Brother, neither of us was innocent from the start. Thinking we can start over is a pipe dream."

Zhong Yu smiles.

"Who said we were starting over? Mingzhi, things between us aren't something you use up and throw away."

[Reading Guide]

1. The male lead is a virgin.

2. Everyone is crazy, and their sense of morality is low. Don't read if you expect the female lead to have high moral standards.

3. They are not on the same household register, and there is no intimacy while their family relationship exists.

Blurb for She Says I'm Sick:

Freewheeling, sharp-tongued psychologist x arrogant, sharp-tongued divorce lawyer from an academic background

A combative couple, one strong on offense and weak on defense | The man has a secret crush

Wen Qian can't stand Xu Renyu. Here are the reasons:

The first time they met, Xu Renyu stole his parking spot.

The second time, Xu Renyu told his client right in front of him that he was sick.

The third time, Xu Renyu asked if he wanted to be friends.

?!

After all the conflict between them, what made her think they could be friends?

And then there were the fourth, fifth, and sixth times...

Turns out Dr. Xu smiles when she isn't wearing glasses.

But Xu Renyu is still so annoying!

Until one day, Xu Renyu suddenly asks in shock, "Lawyer Wen, you don't have a crush on me, do you?"

The usually composed Lawyer Wen is stunned.

Dr. Xu quickly raises her hand. "I have a fiance."
