A Substitute Bride's Dream Marriage: The CEO Is No Joke

I've never hated a male lead this much. Even though he's a CEO, I feel he's so incompetent. This is the first novel where I desperately want the female lead to end up with the second male lead. And that Chen Youyou... She's just... Indescribable.

When the female lead had her first miscarriage, the male lead didn't believe she had a history of pregnancy and miscarriage. There was no explanation that the male lead knew about her previous miscarriage. So why did he say "I won't let this child have any problems again" during her second pregnancy??? The plot doesn't make sense at all…

The plot is engaging and the writing is fluent, but the updates are too infrequent.

It's unbelievable that this book got a 9.2 Rating. It's completely illogical, the male lead is a clueless scumbag, and the female and male leads are both wealthy heiresses who are timid and subservient, and they even perform striptease for others. It's a brainless, low-quality novel.

Holy crap! I've never hated the male lead so much. Marriage, divorce, another failed marriage, entanglements with Chen Youyou, Qiao Beiting, and Jing (I forgot the name), disappearing at the wedding banquet, going to find his first love, the female lead being harassed, beaten, and miscarried by the male lead's mother and a series of others. After the male lead returns, he brings his first love back. Later, the female lead wants to break up and tries to escape by plane, but the plane crashes. She's much better on the island, but the male lead immediately imprisons her. Before she's even recovered from the miscarriage, he rapes her, telling her "I love you," "You're too extreme," "It has nothing to do with my first love," and "You're so cruel, I love you so much," while simultaneously returning to China to be with his first love and take care of him. When the first love causes the female lead's miscarriage, the male lead defends her, saying she was also used, that she's suffered a lot of injustice and hardship over the years, and that he's willing to forgive her if she cooperates. (I just want to say, it's not like you had a miscarriage, why are you forgiving her?) The male lead is playing both domestic and international affairs, how is he some kind of ancient emperor? He's sleeping with this one today, that one tomorrow, and another the day after? The female lead is the same, why is she so weak-willed? She cries and drinks whenever something big happens, why? She only knows how to endure. At first I thought it was okay, but it got weirder and weirder later on. Isn't the male lead supposed to be so powerful? Imprisonment, coercion… But when it comes to other people, he can't do anything, he doesn't even look for the reasons within himself. Haha, when the female lead is close to someone else, the male lead gets angry, angry, the female lead is too cruel! When the male lead is close to someone else, he only says she's a business partner, he only sees her as a younger sister, and later he says she's his childhood sweetheart, he'll forgive her. Haha, how ridiculous!!!

It's the same old trope of an ex-girlfriend causing trouble! If there's no love, why cling on? No matter how deep the love, no matter the reason, being hurt because of her husband's ex-lover means she shouldn't continue loving him. That's completely against human nature and unacceptable to modern people. Besides, why must an ex-lover be despicable?

The beginning was clearly well-written, so why did they turn the male and female leads into complete idiots later on?

The plot was too messy, and the male and female characters weren't very well-developed, so I dropped it. I read about 100 chapters; it started off okay, but got progressively worse, and I ended up skipping around.

Well, it wasn't particularly good, but once you started watching, you wanted to see it all the way to the end. Some of the male lead's actions were just awful, especially the part where he didn't believe the female lead had lost her child, which was incredibly frustrating. Moreover, the author never explained whether the male lead knew he had lost a child, and I felt he didn't deserve such a good female lead.
