You Chose Your Dying First Love, So I Remarried a Capital Powerhouse and Lived It Up

I got breast hyperplasia from reading this, so I gave up.

This book is very good, but it has one flaw: I would prefer a story with two strong protagonists, such as the female lead's identity.

This satisfying novel truly understands its readers! The female lead is betrayed by her husband of seven years, her wedding money is used for her terminally ill childhood sweetheart, and she's left with nothing—anyone would be furious! But Xia Ling doesn't cling on; instead, she's pampered like a princess by a powerful man, achieving success in both her career and love life.

Lovers of the "wife-chasing-after-the-breakup" trope will rejoice! This book handles the "only realizing your value after losing it" scenario with incredible flair. The more ruthless the scumbag is when he misappropriates the wedding money and hurts the heroine, the more pathetic he becomes when he tries to win her back.

This is the book to de-stress! It throws in a high-energy conflict right from the start: seven years of secret marriage, a stolen wedding, and being left with nothing – every point hits the reader's emotional nerves. The female lead, Xia Ling, is decisive and swiftly rebuilds her life after the divorce, focusing on her career, finding a good partner, and remaining clear-headed and independent.

This book is absolutely perfect! The heroine's initial forbearance and sacrifices are met with betrayal, but her later awakening and triumphant transformation flow naturally and smoothly. The plot of her being pampered by a powerful figure is sweet without being cloying.

If you like clear-headed female protagonists, you absolutely must read this! Xia Ling, facing her husband's favoritism and betrayal, doesn't wallow in self-pity; she decisively divorces him and focuses on herself—this independent woman persona is incredibly endearing.

I stayed up all night to finish it and it was so satisfying! The opening scene of the betrayal during the wedding livestream was absolutely divine. The female lead's calm and collected approach to the divorce, without being love-struck or making a scene, was incredibly endearing.

The female protagonist's husband, mistress, adoptive father, and colleagues are all causing trouble almost daily. Her biological parents, however, have accepted a fake daughter and don't believe she's their child. She doesn't even trust her adoptive brother, the only one who treats her well. She only believes in her own abilities and, following her adoptive father's arrangement, goes to work at her mistress's company, only to be bullied by various bad people every day.

This book is actually quite engaging, with a good plot, and it's one of the few I've read without missing a single chapter, following the author's pace closely. However, the fact that someone with high intelligence is repeatedly deceived while those around them are constantly committing evil deeds and making numerous inconsistencies is incredibly frustrating for the reader.
