Blurb:
Beauty is a resource, and men are stepping-stones. When climbing to the top on their backs, you have to look graceful, and keep your heart cold.
Tang Mi is clever, and she's very beautiful.
When she approached Zhou Yuechuan, she knew exactly what she wanted: to borrow his name to get an offer from the law firm. That was all.
A man like him could have any woman he wanted. He wouldn't care.
She had bet right and got the job.
Only later did she learn that he'd known what she was doing from the very beginning.
He'd just wanted to see how long she could keep up the act.
But somewhere along the way, he started taking it seriously himself.
Later, everyone said Zhou Yuechuan was cold-hearted and ruthless in business, never stopping for anyone.
Only Tang Mi knew that the year they broke up, he decisively signed a document withdrawing from a bidding process.
He traded a billion-yuan project for a steady start for her.
Much later, as she curled up in his arms, she asked him about it.
He gazed out the window, his voice low:
"With you on the other side, how could I win?"
[Old Flame Rekindled, Beautiful, Scheming Woman x Untouchable Young Master]
Title inspired by:
Leslie Cheung's "Too Beautiful for Your Own Good"
You're too beautiful for your own good,
Like a venomous snake constricting the bond between us,
As if this craving of the heart had no end.
At last, all my schemes were spent,
And even my faith withered away.
Theme: Be independent and love yourself.
It makes me feel like I should forget about it
Oops, why can't I see my comment? It's so pretty! Ms. Qixingzhi, please come back soon for an update!!! Oooh, ooh, ooh, it's so good to see and scream!!!
It's tied. When will the author come back to update? Waiting for the update.
He promised to come back on the heroine's birthday but if he doesn't come back, it seems he is preparing to be imprisoned without a wife.
Is it the ending? How should I put it? I think both parties have each other. There is no doubt about it, but they are not suitable. To be honest, I think the heroine is more suitable for the IKEA, IKEA and husband type.
The male protagonist is really a bit condescending, and I feel like he didn't firmly choose the female protagonist, and just stood by and ignored those who looked down upon him.
Why are both fathers so scumbag?
It seems that the heroine has a long way to grow up.
That's not an excuse for dad and sister-in-law to mess around.
