At this point, the story finally comes to an end.
When I first started writing, I had no idea that it would reach the scale it has now. I just want to write about a relationship that is pushed forward by reality - when marriage is set, surrounded by interests, and constantly shaped by external expectations, can people still maintain their sanity and choice in it?
As the plot progressed and the characters became more and more complete, I gradually realized that this was not a work purely about love.
It writes about responsibilities, boundaries and costs.
Writing about family is not to amplify conflicts;
Writing about business wars is not just to create excitement;
Rather, I want to explore whether people are willing to bear the consequences of their choices when emotions and rules conflict.
Li Meng is not a saved character.
Every concession, persistence and forgiveness she made were decisions made after weighing reality.
The same is true for Xiao Di. His growth does not come from emotional remorse, but from a new understanding of power and responsibility.
This is why there is no "easy reconciliation" in this story.
Many relationships have not been repaired, and some scars cannot be erased.
But everyone eventually returned to their respective positions.
What I want to write about is not winning or losing, but returning home.
The final wedding is not to create a perfect ending, but a symbol——
It symbolizes that after experiencing enough realistic tests, two people can finally choose each other again without being limited, exchanged or coerced.
Thanks to the readers who have followed along and stayed with me till now.
Your comments, emotions and expectations are all an important part of making this book complete.
The story is over, but the characters' lives continue.
May they each bear their own responsibilities and be safe.
I also hope that you who read this,
In the real world, always have the courage to choose for yourself.
——Full text completed.
"Don't be stupid, you can plan all the plans, but your life can only be planned by me."
When we first met, he was the ruthless CEO who came back to China to take charge of the Xiao Group, while I was Li Meng, a newcomer in the workplace who had just won an offer based on his strength.
The way he looked at me was always like ice and fire - as if I owed him eight lifetimes of debt, and as if he had already carved me into my bones and blood.
I originally thought that entering the Xiao family was to gain recognition and regret from Lin Peiqi.
Graduated from a top university, double majored, and has a perfect resume.
Until he crushed my pride in front of everyone and exposed it with a sneer:
"Do you really think you can sit here - on your own?"
What's even more ridiculous is that he is not only my boss, but also the stepson of my mother's remarried family.
There is an undercurrent between the two families, the entangled grievances of the previous generation, and an unspeakable blood mystery between us.
During the day, we are tit-for-tat superiors and subordinates:
He questioned my plan in public, but pressed me against the office desk, breathing hotly:
"You are mine"
And when I gradually became addicted to his occasional tenderness, he suddenly became a couple with his daughter Jiang Weiwei.
The media wrote: "A match made in heaven, a wealthy marriage is imminent."
My heart ached, but I pretended to be calm: "Mr. Xiao's matter has nothing to do with me."
But the moment I turned around, he dragged me directly into the car, his voice low and harsh:
"It has nothing to do with it? Li Meng, you can only show me how jealous you are."
It wasn't until Lu Yicheng appeared, that man who did everything well and always protected me tenderly, that he finally broke Xiao Di's last sanity.
He directly took out the marriage agreement, his eyes as paranoid as a beast:
"You dare to look at him - I will tie you to marriage for the rest of your life."
I struggled and resisted, but I couldn't escape his layout.
A marriage certificate, two rings, three scandals that shocked the business world...
I changed from Li Meng to the infamous "Mrs. Xiao".
And all of this actually stems from a secret that has been buried for twenty years.
When I finally faced the truth about my life experience, I discovered:
All this is never accidental.
He has already been waiting for me to enter the game.
Highlights of the work:
The tension-filled dual-front struggle between the workplace and the wealthy family, the fatal ambiguity between the cold-hearted boss and the rational subordinate
The sense of betrayal and pull under the fake relationship between "brother and sister". I don't know where the love comes from, but it is inextricable.
Male lead Lu Yicheng's gentle attack and female lead Jiang Weiwei's strong pursuit create constant sparks in the relationship between the four corners.
The fragility and growth behind the heroine's calm mask, watch how the proud daughter of heaven moves forward step by step and turns from defense to offense.
The mystery of one's life experience is constantly reversing. How will the grudges of the previous generation affect the marriage of the next generation?
