The first time Cheng Ying saw Shen Che was at her school's 120th anniversary celebration. She was the elegant, poised host onstage, while the man sat among a crowd of powerful figures in the front row as an outstanding entrepreneur who had come to make a donation.
He was gentle and refined, dressed in a suit, cultivated and humble. The people beside him wore faintly flattering smiles. Shen Che was as bright and unclouded as moonlight, nodding with a smile as if he agreed with what they were saying, yet his eyes betrayed a cold detachment.
As the male host beside her delivered an impassioned speech, Cheng Ying unexpectedly met the man's indifferent gaze.
The second time they met was in a reception room.
By then, she was a fledgling financial reporter, entrusted with an important mission: to interview this business tycoon.
After meeting him up close, Cheng Ying's earlier impression was completely overturned. Especially when the man fixed her with those cold, shadowed eyes, her scalp prickled.
Before the interview, Cheng Ying had thoroughly prepared. She knew the story of Shen Che, a legend in the business world, by heart.
His parents divorced, and he was out making his way in the world as a teenager. By the 1980s, he had become a ten-thousand-yuan household. Later, a stock market crash bankrupted him, and his ex-wife ran off with all his savings. He hit rock bottom, then rose again. It took him only three years, and from then on he began his legendary, overpowered ascent in the business world.
She put on a composed front and began the interview.
After it ended, Cheng Ying only truly relaxed once she had watched the man leave the room, surrounded by his entourage.
After working overtime through the night, Cheng Ying had just turned in her article when exhaustion overtook her and she fell asleep.
She never imagined that when she woke up, she would have become the very ex-wife who had stolen the tycoon's savings and stabbed him in the back, and was now forcing herself on him.
Cheng Ying, now the one forcing herself on him: ...
She lowered her head guiltily and was about to slip away in silence, but met his bloodshot, brooding eyes.
Dear angels, please add this to your collections! Pretty please!
Coming soon: A Lovely Beauty Arrives on the Frontier in The 1970s
Synopsis:
Ji Shuyi, who worked in foreign trade, died in an unfortunate accident while gossiping.
The good news: She wasn't dead!
The bad news: She had become the prematurely deceased younger sister of a cannon-fodder female character in a mistaken-marriage novel set in a bygone era.
In the original story, the cannon-fodder older sister refused to marry far away to the frontier because she thought the conditions there were too harsh. The heroine, who had already traveled to the frontier to marry, mistook someone for the right person and married the male lead instead, living happily ever after.
Now, the Ji family had to decide once again whether someone would marry far away to the frontier.
Ji Shuyi looked from one person to another, tried to persuade them, then slapped the table.
The author is probably a newbie. I think the previous chapters are pretty good, but there is still a lot of room for improvement. For example, when I first started watching, the female protagonist said that the male protagonist's charity was named after a stone, so something must have happened, such as a fight or something. The male protagonist felt so upset that he named it after him, but the author didn't write about it at all later, which I thought was very strange. The development of the male and female protagonists is also slow and steady, but it doesn't feel like the male protagonist is good to him because the female protagonist is pregnant. The emotional development is not smooth and I don't think it is very fragmented and abrupt. When I didn't write this article, I posted it on Little Sweet Potato, and the number of likes and collections was quite high. The comments from readers below are that they think the author can write better.
At the end of the day, you were caught off guard, drove high and left low?
