The Rich Ex-Husband Cries and Begs to Remarry

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Ruan Tian had been in love with Shen Shu for a long time. She pursued him fiercely while they were young, and was crazy for his love.

Ruan Tian always knew that Shen Shu still had a white moonlight inside his heart, but she was still willing to be the disposable stand-in if it meant she could be by his side.

However, no matter how hard she tried, she was always just an unwanted and scheming white lotus girl in Shen Shu’s eyes.

She was a notorious actress who lingered down near the eighteenth tier of the entertainment industry.

Then, in their second year of marriage, Ruan Tian was hit on the head and was surprised to realize that her life was a novel, and she was only the girl the domineering CEO was using as a substitute.

She was just an insignificant stepping stone in the story for Shen Shu and his white moonlight. A tool that would be used up until there was nothing left but a miserable smear of blood.

Thoroughly sobered by this realization, Ruan Tian hurriedly filed for divorce and didn’t hesitate to kick Shen Shu to the curb.

I am so disgusted that I read such a dog blood drama. I persisted, thinking "it

has to get better."

I hated each and every single character. The men were all vile and disgusting. The females had few brain cells.

Shen Shu was the ex husband. His worst sins were

    • Not helping her when she was in danger
    • Forcing her to donate blood to fl's sister in order to spend time with him
    • Wasn't there for her when she struggled with an accident and "miscarriage"
Qin Yu was the worst of them all in my opinion

    • Sexually abused her multiple times
    • Bullied her in high school & in her career
    • Constantly violated her security & private space
I don't even give a damn about Qin An & Xu Jinyu. They are both pathetic.

Huai Mo was a psychopathic stalker with manipulative tendencies

The agent Lili was extremely irresponsible.

    • She never protected fl's interests with contracts and remuneration
    • She is rich so she has the potential to do more for her artist. I don't understand nor forgive her half assed work
    • Half the time when FL was cornered, I was wondering where her agent was.
The FL was s*upid. At a certain point, my sympathy dwindled because the FL herself tolerated & indulged in this bs:

    • Why didn't she hire a bodyguard after all the harassment she was getting from Qin Yu and Shen Shu?
    • Who the heck signs a contract for 10yrs with an 80 million penalty fee?
    • Was she really that s*upid and naive to believe Huai Mo was innocent?
    • Why didn't she fight for better working conditions? It was clear that she was the main draw in several shows yet was content with her paltry roles and pays.
Logic flew out the window with this and unfortunately I've wasted enough braincells.

Edit: ugh I was bored & reread this until ch 75 before I remembered I had tried to read this unrecyclable tr*sh. I wish this would be the first thing that pops up to remind me not to proceed.

Bumping this up and giving this 5 starts but in reality more or less 4 stars.

There were no proper MLs LMAO all of them were not right in the head. I really like our FL since she's a strong independent woman. Tbh I finished it because of her. She ended with the (best) man possible I guess.

... more>>
Spoiler

At this point as long as she didn't go back to her ex-husband (Shen Shu) I'm happy. Qin Yu (ML) was immature as hell but Huai mo (another love interest) was a psycho.

[collapse]

I even wanted this to be yuri so she wouldn't end up with some s*upid man or something. They all have disappointed 😞 me a lot. Writing was great, the author would make you angry. The internet trolls were also written incredibly.

But before you go on make sure to not romanticize the male leads. They were abusive and none of them really deserved the FL. Marrying someone is like having a companion for life (or not, go get a divorce), so make sure to find a suitable partner that would not abuse you physically and verbally, and would take your side instantly even if it's your fault.

If I transmigrated to this story I would be scared shitless and pummel all of the male leads to death. <<less

I've read ahead with the raws and while I was really intrigued at first, I'm disappointed overall. The MC is really likable and hardworking and her ex is awful of course, but I hate the ML. He's just as bad as the ex, in my opinion, the only difference is that the MC was willing to forgive him and not her ex.

There's some reasoning with the ex given her sister's involvement, but the ML is too pushy and invasive on top of his past behavior. I would have liked it... more>> better if she had rejected all of the male love interests and stayed single, given I thought all of the potential match-ups were unhealthy. <<less

Not going to put spoilers coz this one doesn't deserve it. Readers need to know why they shouldn't waste time here. Because I trusted that maybe the story will have some hope. It didn't:

The problem with this one is that in spite of a "strong MC", it manages to make her pretty goddamned weak. A story is as good and coherent as the author. This is tr*shy, just like the author's brain. None of the characters are believable, except that one green tea villain twin sister. She was literally the... more>> most consistently real character. The MC was a f*cking idiot when she was 17-21. She let all the things happen to her in the name of love. The ex was also 22 when they all were divorced and he acted like he'll never love again. Bro you're just 22. I'm 24 and I'm a iceberg CEO kind of person, and I'm very self aware. The kind of CEO in these Wattpad level tr*sh Chinese novels are f*cking dumbasses, totally not the hyper self aware guys in finance I've seen. I know why I'm not in love. I don't interact with the guy who says he loves me. You don't fall in love when they realize love wasn't your priority. Not one time did the ex husband realise that in spite of acting like her loved her and regretted losing her, his focus never shifted to righting the wrongs he did to her, only his work. All he did was sometimes deal with the villains. His need for feeling good about himself was so big, he was willing to admit that he might have liked her but since he didn't like the poor unsophisticated villager type girls so her didn't realise it. I call author of this steaming BS. He was literally playing with her. Never said a firm no and always gave her a little hope to still stay committed to her unrequited crush. What did they both know about each other when they barely interacted? I again call author on this BS. MC was like a weak level yandere. I do not believe this level of action for a crush in school. Unless you are a masochist with a degredation kink. Btw one good thing in ex husband was the fact he had very pragmatic parents. It was mentioned that they never interfered in his decisions since he was a teen. He got that freedom, at the cost that his parents also won't stop him from making wrong decisions that he made later on. Serves him right for being stubborn. Apparently his mother never mistreated the MC coz she was mostly indifferent. I say for an MC that was basically an orphan that needed family, this was a mistreatment, but understandable.

Spoiler

bit*h never even bothered to search about that day she called him 139 times. She had an accident and miscarried their child. MC rightfully never told him. But I think he deserved to know what he really lost, to add insult to his injuries.

[collapse]

I hate the ML. The guy bullied her so viciously to gain her attention. All because he thought he lost when he fell for her at first site and she didn't. Fat chance. He lusted for her. Harrassed her so bad she was psychologically afraid of him. Sexually harassed her by forcing kissing and biting her when he felt envious and angry, multiple times.

Made her sign a very unfair contract (50:50 split of her fees) to his company for 10 years. She filed suit against it 2 times and ended up in an 80 million debt to him. He literally took any good opportunity that did come to her. In his "defence" she never had to do the honey trap thing.

Later on by sheer luck she started getting work was when her career hit off. The story is filled of 150+ chapters of her careers trajectory. Very repetitive, not a good description. A lot of gibberish by internet fans and anti fans and rival actresses. You can skip it and still understand what's happening. A lot of movies she did were foreshadowing her future with ML. Very lazy writing. I'm pretty sure the author was only doing things for the word count. Chinese version of Wattpad websites like Web Novel etc pay author by word count, I know since I've been approached for the same by one of their agents. Hence you find a lot of total garbage having so much word count. No accounting for quality.

She literally got together randomly. I just assumed that the only reason you'll get back with this kind of persistent abuser was just for his money. There were already rumours in news. One time the guy came out from her room when she was doing a broadcast for her fans. She was repeatedly saying that she's not with him, but no one really believed that. His family was accepting of her. Also what's with the MLs disease? So nonsense? I don't look down on any chronic diseases but this one just never made sense to me. One day the guy is strong as hell the next day he's not. No purpose of the disease in the plot at all, no mention of medical terms. Author just said it was a "typical rich person disease". The guy just randomly needed wheelchair. At least explain why in a sense that people who are not idiots will accept it.

The only person who treated her well from the get go were her manager who was a second generation rich girl who just wanted to work. And Huang Mo guy who was a literal yandere with no empathy, and even then he never mistreated her.

I will never recommended this story to a person unless you're my enemy and I look down on you. Even the author of this story wasn't keeping notes of what they've previously written and had amnesia half the time. Why bother. <<less

It’s an interesting read. It’s different from the classic revenge story, since it’s more about FL and her growth, moving away from her family and ex-husband and her career.

If you’re looking for romance, this story is not it because there’s hardly any and it’s right at the last chapters.

I enjoyed the story as in the development of the story, it was nice how she deals with her family and ex-husband and starts liking ML, many people dislike the ML but I quite liked him.

My problem lies with the lazy writing... more>> as in, the development is good, however, the author doesn’t describe why FL loves her husband so much and it is quite frustrating because he is really not nice to her.

The characters are quite shallow, they are not much back story and their feelings are not described a lot, like FL liking ex-husband and ML liking FL in the past.

I think I didn’t enjoy it as much because I just read ‘I Just Want to Freeload on Your Luck’ which has a similar story but is better written as is it caused me to empathize more with the characters.

Overall, it’s an okay read if you’re looking for a strong FL with not much romance and cliche showbiz story. <<less

WHAT I REALLY LIKE IS THAT FL IS NOT GOING BACK TO HER EX-HUSBAND! YASSS!

TLDR 3 stars very cookie cutter and n9t done particularly well

The story is a basic return of the lost child from a wealthy family, where the parents have no real affection, and sibling is a vile piece of tr*sh. It opens well generating both sympathy for protagonist and hatred for the antagonists. Then it falls down hard. The protag morphs into the Mary Sue and through no particular effort assumes the heroine's mantle. YAWN

The translation is very good even if it's currently only the first 10 chapters (3 translated =... more>> 1 original). The MTL is readable if very difficult.

In short there's worse and there's better <<less

I started this because I am lover of novels where the FL gets revenge by living well but after reading 40 chapters I can’t finish it. The ML is so overbearing and the other options aren’t much better. Honestly the ML is the worst option reading about how clingy he is was draining. Concept and FL was really good but male leads ruined it.

Okay, so I'm going to agree with some of the other reviewers here that the ML - all of them, honestly - are complete TRA$H. The FL is awesome, and I adored her grit and determination. This really does fall into the genre of bully romance, and for that it's rather well done. I'm rating this as high as I am because I do love the author's writing style, the FL's terrible family kinda got what they deserved in the end, the FL is hilarious and AWESOME, there is distinct... more>> character development from almost all the main characters, and the whole set up feels more realistic than most of the ones I've read (not exactly hard since I mostly read fantasy, but hey).

That being said, the general idea of the MLs acting like pulling pigtails is the way to show a woman you like her is SO DUMB. Qin Yu and Shen Shu realizing how much of complete and utter jack@sses they are is kinda nice. Would have liked to see even more crawling from those idiots but can't have everything.

Spoiler

Shen Shu realizing that he's a freaking R@PIST or Quin Yu noticing that he sexually @ssaults Ruan Tien multiple times would have been a nice twist, but if you're going to have completely un-self-aware MLs, go all in.

[collapse]

The standard of a bare minimum of decency is apparently WAAAYYYYYYY too much to ask for your MLs in a CN.

I do love Qin An though - he's SUCH an idiot and is great comic relief. Please never grow a filter, Qin An. The connection between your mouth and brain has always been broken and makes me laugh! <<less

I don't like novels with ML abusing FL and romanticizing it, and I hadn't touched this novel because of the reviews suggesting that this is the story. I decided to give it a go and found it to be the opposite extreme. The cover symbolizes this story very well.
I don't know if ML will end up with her ex-husband, but if she ends with him, it will be after he leaves the hospital after being beaten up a lot!

I JUST DON'T GET IT!! It's a 1.5 rating for me. I have been reading this book and it's really sad the kind of stuff the FL goes through. However, pretty much every man in this book is horrible. They all abusive, controlling, egotistical and heartless. It got to a point where I thought there is no romance in this book so I finally decided to read the comments to find out if it's true. Unfortunately, it's a worst case scenario because the FL actually does end up with someone-... more>> one of the men have treated her the worst of all!!! It just blows my mind and now I'm officially dropping it.

I will say though that the author actually writes well - my 1.5 stars go to that. You feel the emotions when you read this book. Not a fluffy read that's for sure. The FL is also strong but all that strength and being a bad*ss is stripped away massively because she chooses to be with an abusive, controlling assh*le! I don't know what the author is thinking - is her view of men like this? I'm at a loss and terribly disappointed. <<less

I admit that I did not take a closer look at the tags so I am partially to blame. But, yeah, I did not expect to see so many mentally deranged MLs in one story.

I was still on board until the halfway point and I admittedly cried a few times because I like abusing myself mentally. However, I grew tired for some reason and seeing how unpromising all the potential MLs were, I decided to skip to the last chapter so I could drop the novel with a clear conscience.... more>> And I can't say that I am very surprised or satisfied. I mean, sure, the ML the FL ended up with seems to have changed for the better, but it just rubs me the wrong way when someone gets together with their (former) abuser. Not a fan of stockholm syndrome stories, as you can probably already tell.

I would have preferred it if the FL found a more decent, gentle and forgiving guy or stayed single until death...

Eh... At least the FL had a likeable personality, straight-forward, blunt and not above giving people a verbal sometimes even physical lashing in retaliation when someone gives her crap for no good reason. <<less

honestly it was a really nice read. The FL is so down to earth and will not take anything from anyone. Almost all the MLs had tr*sh personalities with there own problems where you have times you hate them and and moments you feel sorry for them. Had a lot of feelings but over all this as a nice change of pace and good read.

Younger brother of the ex. Husband (minus-10/10)

Fl's tràsh Family (minus -1 million/10)

Other MLs each has (minus -100/100)

Manager of the FL (9/10)

The Wang guy bro (8/10) I just wish that he's the Main ML hayssst

FL (7/10) I really did not like her past stvpid self. And just like her I hàte how stvpid she is at that time being pushover. But somehow!! She's one of the FL/MC that has STRONG MENTALITY that I encountered so far. So gonna put additional 10 points for that.

1 law rating star for giving the MC/FL a tràshy toxic people like sh*t ml's and other sh*T's that make her miserable in her ignorànt days. That's. <<less

I enjoyed this novel despite usual plot in the entertainment industry... mainly bc I like the personality of FL (Ruan Tian).

FL's life was really sad especially since she's not transmigrator/rebirthed (just sudden realizations about being villainess)... so she can't correct her bad choices and its result with no one caring/supporting/siding her. She's straightforward, thick-skinned, working hard to change her life status and got a resilient attitude that had been forged due to disappointments/remorse/slander all her life.

Honestly, I like this better if there's no ML and she'll just move forward with... more>> no connection with her past. ML and other supporting MLs were aggressive and forceful despite FL's rejecting them. Meanwhile, Final ML and 2nd ML might already have seen their mistakes in the past but they only talked but lacked actions (remained bothering her).

Con: Abrupt ending and not fully fan of ML (after author's multiple shadings of other novel plots... the FL still ended w/ one of the people who hurt her most in past lol) <<less

I'm conflicted. I really really liked Ruan Tian. She was so funny and hardworking, and cute.

But all male leads are tr*sh. I kept wishing Shao ended up being a male lead, since he was the only one that wants tr*sh.

The ex husband, Shen Shu: an idiot of the trope "she doesn't love anymore, I love her".

... more>> The 'little fresh meat' Huai Mo: a ****ING psycho!

The boss, and high school bully: S tier tr*sh. He mol*sted her, mentally tortured her on HS, abused his authority to stagnate her career. Basically forcing himself each time he could into her home, her private space and her work.
Spoiler

Author last few chapters tries to reinvidicates him, because 'he always loved her, just didn't know how to express it'. It's sick. And OFC he's the effing ML.

[collapse]

Honestly, the novel could've been so good without romance since every male interested in her were full garbage, and the thing that keeps one going on is how she strive to better herself and how she challenged everyone's expectatives and fights for her place in the industry. <<less

I am suprised about how low the rating is, since I actually quite enjoyed this story. The translation really is god-tier and the way the author writes is entertaining and easy to follow. The MC is very likeable, fierce and pretty funny. It was a lot of fun to see her fight on and fight others to reach her goals. Just as a story about her surviving in the entertainment industry while fighting on it is good. I usually dont like that genre at all, but since she was likeable... more>> and pretty sassy while doing so, I was invested.

Now to the reason why most people dont seem to like it: The romance. Honestly, I feel like this is not really a romance novel, its mainly about our MC and her trying to become successful while some men annoy her. When they treat her badly, she pays it back in kind. The potential male leads are all dicks, but I didnt really care because they actually didnt seem to matter or appear that much and I honestly enjoyed how she would repeatedly crush their hearts in return. In the end, one of them realized he was being a dick, stops and starts to behave better. I was fine with that development, but would not recommend to read it looking for romance, but rather if you enjoy a more career-driven story in the entertainment industry. <<less

Spoiler

Qin Yu, the sick and weak guy in a wheelchair who tormented her relentlessly ever since her parents found her and brought her to the capital and he never even liked her all his life. Torturing her was his only mission. He found pleasure in seeing her suffer and be humiliated in every way possible!

And when she played a role of a desperate prostitute begging for a client (him) to accept her services (during auditions) he was so impressed by her realistic act that he belived her begging and suddenly changed (!!!) He started chasing her.

[collapse]

I understand that the FL is in the book, she gets to live twice in that book, forced to deal with what is given to her by the plot and the set of characters, I just do not get the author's decision to deny her love, to give her a normal man whom she could love and enjoy unconditionally, a soulmate, etc. It's my second time reading a C-novel where a superbly capable and decent FL is denied an option of loving someone (besides her kids) and she settles for that. What kind of fantasy is that?

Instead, she basically settles for a sick wealthy man who fell in love with a lowly garbage picking and prostitute playing her, one of so many mentally, physically or morally sick and abusive men around her. Just like that desperate prostitute who finally got her wish for a wealthy John satisfied, so now she would avoid being beaten.

This is not a happy story. It is not realistic either. It casts women as nothing more than second leads in life, in roles of prostit**es. <<less

  • I commend heroine. She is really good, hard working and of course has a good personality. I don't like male lead. I think it was more of a compromise of FL to promise to be with ml, because she just craved love, care so much. Because it's written as her thoughts
    Spoiler

    "his love doesn't seen to be fake. "So she just decided to give it a go.

  • She deserves better, but I guess nothing is perfect. But I am happy she didn't end up with ex husband and the story doesn't go non sensical with original female lead. It showed realistically what would happen if you only know how to cry and scheme against others.

Generally speaking, it's a OK novel. There were points that I enjoyed very much and others that I hated. Also, the writer is really against character development but after 350+ or you drop it, or you just read till the end just to know what happens.

The FL is really cool and she can do everything and I can understand where she's coming from but I still remember thinking that she's very rude in her interactions yk? It was charming at first and could be easily pass as bluntness, she was... more>> never rude to people she didn't know (it could easily backfire her) but sometimes she was just having a normal conversation and then bam! Some face-slapping answer.

The ML was the worst I ever fully read. Really I could scream bingo at the end bcs we got a long list of crimes that were brushed off:

Spoiler
  1. bullying; at school and at work
  2. s*xual harassment; a lot of unwanted kisses including her first kiss that he took by force, plus a lot of touching and tentative of r***
  3. abduction; "she passed out here guys, let just take her to my family or my own home without her knowledge :) "
  4. improper work conduct: (he hardly let her take any roles at start her career as actress and even after she got out of his company

So by the ending I was really surprised by the lack of character development he got (almost none) and they still got together. Instead of him growing to be on her side and both to be equals and deserving of each other, it was more like she became more tolerant to his awful behavior which cause him to tone down it. Like "the boy annoys his female colleague because he likes her uwuwuwu" type. The author should have put a Daoming Si (from meteor garden yk) to have him good to her not only when she's not looking bUT ALSO WHEN HE TALKS TO HER. It really pains me to read it. Anyway

[collapse]

The husband in the title is just like Sovieshu (if you know, you know). Got married to our FL but wanted the white lotus but when the divorce paper were already signed he regretted and then we got a lot of crying and throwing up just to get re-married or even a second chance - which she never gave him, thank god.

so

if you want a face slapping novel, with a lot of moments of FL constant slapping random people as if she is using a bucked list while doing random things and being successful but also more random people hating her for said random things and a eventful growing harem with those same random people who started to love her and if you can pass a lot of red flags just to kiss a hot man, this is the novel you are looking for. Definitely there are lot better novels out there but enjoyable to pass a literary hangover. It's not good, but also it's not bad. <<less
