The Rich Ex-Husband Cries and Begs to Remarry

Description

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.

This novel made me cry a few times. How dare they bullied her, even her own family. If it was me, I would have truly broken down. At least she ends up with a person who has been loving her for a long time, and the only person who has seen the other side of her which wasn't the weakest one. Don't expect fluffiness from this novel, because it isn't fluffy at all.

Oh, this novel reminded me of Hana Yori Dango. Though, the FL's life is much much harder than... more>> Tsukino's life. Although I never a fan of this melancholy kind of novel, but the FL has caught my eyes to see how will she change her life after she has been given another chance to live. I gave 5 stars for her for her love to stars, hers successin her career and her love live. She finally found the one who truly love her as she is. <<less

I am actually MTLd it till the end but probably will be re-reading it when all the translation is out. Because it's that good.

It's quite a unique thing. You know all the face slapping, dog blood novels with overOP MCs, perfect MLs and hot/sweet romance? That's not it. That's better.

I like most of all that even if things go pretty smoothly for MC, it's not constant and it's not cheap. There's no feeling that this "female supporting character" is actually another incarnation of "female lead", even their fates do get... more>> reversed. But that's because of very hard work of MC (and also because "FL" is a b*tch), not because deus ex machina. There are stakes, hardships and payoffs.

What you don't find here, is MC trying to over white lotus the white lotus, which imo is so effing rare in the genre - and honestly, I am so tired of heroines using the same shticks as the villains but better, the whole being weak (performatively) is a superpower, the whole green tea bit*h but it's okay because it's the author's favorite character. You know?

MC is not pretending or scheming but neither she's a doormat, if you hit her she will hit back - but into your face. She won't protect her reputation or public opinion for benefits and will tell you what she thinks of you. Kudos so much.

Regarding the MLs... I am very satisfied with her ex really crying and begging for remarry. And all other MLs. I cried sometimes when I read their POVs too - for MC of course. Men are worse than dogs and I am glad that MC mainly focused on personal happiness and career fulfilment.

I am a little unsatisfied about the resolution of the family subplot. I would have liked to take it further. But it's okay too, I guess.

Overall, 5/5. <<less

Amazing.

I love the translator as the works are amazingly done.

The plot is cool (so far all are scums that I wish find their way to hell fast) and the MC is a normal, reasonable person (which angers all others because why isn't the world about them ~duuuh).

... more>> A recommended read!

Update after complete novel is out:

I have just small complaints about some stuff, still it is one of the best reads. Be aware - IT IS A NOVEL and some points are good to read about but not happening in real life (like bullying romance).

+ great FL (hardworking, decisive, logical)

+ comical relief (e.g. Qin An is great at pissing off others)

+ FL coming to terms with the past (doesn't mean forgiving or agreeing)

+ white flower demasked

+ ex husband getting taught a lesson

+ maturing of ML (and again, it sounds good in a novel, not real life)

- wish there was more on Huai Mo

- all men are hidden scums (bullying the one they like, stereotyping others, thinking they are the best etc.)

- some may say they don't like how she ends with the ML taking into account their past. BUT this is a novel. Don't preach, the reading is good ;) and honestly, if we all met a domineering CEO who is damn rich, has a family that likes us greatly and becomes gentle and doting only to us... 9/10 would forgive him for his past behavior and get together with him

Will re-read it, even if just for de-stressing and laugh <<less

Overall this is a good novel to read and I have so much fun while reading this.

Spoiler

I laugh a lot and cry a lot too. Blame me for being too emotional 😂

[collapse]

For you who actually still hesitant to read or not, let me remind you to not judge book by its rating. Actually this one has a pretty decent plotline. The female lead is really courageous and brave (i really admired her stubbornness 💯), and there is this character personality development which is actually made this novel more realistic.
Spoiler

in fact there is no such a perfect human in this world just like the character in this novel. We, they are imperfect, but what make some people special is their willingness to change, apologize, and learn to become a better person.

[collapse]

So yeah in conclusion, I really encourage you to read this one, you won't regret it😉 <<less

Yow im back

This is definitely one of the great refreshing novels I've read with the female lead not getting back with the ex husband and instead slowly having a new romance with someone else without rushing it. I would love to read more of these here in NU

Does chinese writters only know to write about entetainment circle, web stars, what happen during a variety show, how to become gradually a star...? And none of them us finished.

Why is it that when it's a modern plot, it's always the same pannel?...

In the other hand when it is historical its always "how to slap faces and become empress".

I do like the MC but what the heck are these impossible possible male leads. Their personalities are all flawed to the extreme and I don't think any of them really deserved to end up with the MC in the end. The romance was baffling but it is an excellent reading material for angst and comuppence situations.

3.5 But rounded up as certain scenes were pretty entertaining even though they can't really help pull this story up any higher. This novel is pretty much the standard "unloved child becomes super awesome and gets her HE" plotline.

The FL dreams about the fact that she is a minor villainess in a novel. Beyond that, she doesn't really seem to get any benefits from her dream. She starts out as a minor actress but begins to climb her way up to the top with the goal of making money. The... more>> first of the story has her divorce her husband (the titular Ex-Husband) and then she spends the rest of the time dealing with insane men.

Spoiler

There is her ex-husband who subscribes to the "didn't know what I had til I lost it" method of living.

The ML who acts like a pre-schooler tormenting his crush.

The homicidal psychopath who pretends to be a poor teen to make her realize that he's the only one she should love.

And the assorted "normal" men who aren't interested in her but often go to extreme lengths to help the FL's sister (or her associates) before realizing that she's not a nice person.

[collapse]

The ML is the CEO of the company that the FL is signed to as an actress. He's manipulative, and controlling, and doesn't understand that tormenting the FL makes her dislike him. In fact, his tormenting her is pretty malicious and it takes almost the entire novel for someone to get it through to him that it was bad.

Spoiler

While it does state that he gradually realized his actions earlier had been mean, he never believed that they were evil. Just claimed that it was because he didn't know how to deal with her having tunnel vision for the ex-husband and that he was super jealous that the other guy had her love but clearly didn't love her in return.

The ML straight up forces a kiss on her as payment for rescuing her from thugs in an alleyway. He also reads aloud the love letter she sent to her ex-husband when they were teenagers. Even later, he forced her to remain with his company and practically neutered her career for several years.

[collapse]

For some reason, this story has some odd things thrown in. Such as the past between the FL and her ex-husband. These elements remind me of other slightly better stories that follow the same basic beats.

Spoiler

Such as the FL rescuing the ex-husband when they were in college yet he thought it was the FL's sister. Or the drugging scene to explain why they got married.

[collapse]

And the antagonist's motivation for it all was just... odd.

Spoiler

She didn't want to split the affection she had in half. I guess that could be another failing on the Mother's part but it seems like a very weak motivation to me. Heck, going with the antagonist being upset because the FL was interested in the ex-husband would have been better. I honestly thought a love rival would have been the reason (as the FL is only found as a teen) but that was more a symptom of the real reason.

[collapse]

Add all the strange story choices and the story is still passable. That is until you reach the end. Yes, it is a happy end but it just happened so fast that it just doesn't feel right.

Spoiler

The FL suddenly remembers an event when she met the ML for the first time after he protects her during a car crash (the dude unbuckled his seatbelt to protectively wrap around her which... is not how that works and should have injured her worse) that was instigated by the psychopath. Suddenly, she's not so cold to him and realizes that he was there in her life all along. Even mentions the amazing three times he helped her (which includes the rescue and forced kiss).

She goes off to college, he shows up as a substitute teacher and then admits to him that she loves him a little bit (how? why? I don't even... it's one hell of a leap of logic).

Her sister's business fails. The Ex-husband tries to commit su*cide (but claims he wasn't actually trying to). They do nothing about the guy who tried to mu*der the ML. Or about the newcomer star who tried to wreck the FL (although they do state that the star's movie failed horribly).

The FL does win a trifecta of awards so she's got that going for her, I guess.

[collapse]

Some scenes do make this a fun read (like the variety shows) but there are other stories out there with similar plots that are a lot better. <<less

I really liked the MC, Ruan Tian, she has a stubborn personality and really knows how to speak so much nonsense. Kinda disappointed that the ML is her high school bully though. I think there were about three men who seemed to like her and but only one was fairly decent. The rest are tr*sh.

Ruan Tian is one of the best FL in a CNovel. She’s strong and self aware and smart and the with reading just for her

The ML and ex husband on the other hand suck. And the author was aware they s**ked ... more>>
Spoiler

ML brother tried to explain to ML that bullying the woman you love will result in her hating you. And ex-husband regretted the way he treated her

I gave 5 stars for Ruan Tian, it doesn’t deserve 5, but it also doesn’t deserve 3, it’s a solid 4 IMO

Highly recommended for FL and just ignore the romance <<less

I liked this story so much that even after a long time that I've read it, I came back to leave a review.

Tragic story of a simple and naive girl who had struggled through her childhood and through her first love pursuit which ended in a heartbreak.

Then began her growth in the entertainment career.

... more>> On the other side the ML has a twisted personality but was wholly devoted to the FL - but missed his chance but a few minutes. This their paths drifted further apart.

But eventually I'm glad they got together.

There were a few more chapters that was not included in this translation which can be found in the Chinese raw website.

Thanks to the author for this wonderful story. Thanks to the translator for an awesome job. <<less

I personally dislike a half backed characters, and this novel is a perfect example of it.

The plot is actually interesting but character thing is just to weird to be called a proper life fiction. Re-review

Through the end I personally got the 3/4 baked character, there is some clearance but still too vague to called a lively character. Many loophole on their setting that it's upset me, because I believe this could be much more interesting had the author think it a little bit more.

The plot is nice, but quite... more>> boring for me. The MC basically walking through the plot while her knights clear her path and defeat her enemy. She is way to dull to be called an MC. There is basically no satisfying counter attack that could live up the story.

Like the ZQ character, her being portrayed as smart, white lotus at the beginning. Being written multiple times, but her character couldn't live up to the writing and the author just end up make her the dumbest chick who in good luck able to deceive many big shoots. Wow, I couldn't stop clapping for this.

The writing is good though, the translation is great too. I'm kinda want to change the rate for the sake of the translation, but the injustice toward the character making is still weighting my heart so much.

I wanted to give this novel a 0 star rating if possible.

Very simple summary:

The MC was portrayed as smart, resourceful, diligent and straightforward. In reality, she's dumb, gullible and a total push over.

She basically ended up falling in love or lust with the person who bullied her in highschool. The same person who continously manhandled and sexually harassed her even now. For the life of me, I can't figure out how many loose screws were inside the head of the mentally ret*rded author to wright such an ML. Was it... more>> because it's a character that's acceptable to them? If the MC did not have the protagonist halo, such bullying can cause someone to commit su*cide and for such actions to be brushed under the rugs in the name of love was just downright revolting. The ML really did not change personally. He only used different means to harass the MC when he grew up. He was still the same controlling, psychotic and deplorable character. The MC was just too dumb to realize that and keeps on giving him an opening. She was that unworthy and easy to get.

I really enjoyed the story the FL is so cool and lovable and triumphs her hardships without complaining. Her face slapping events are so fun. She’s one of my fav fls now. But the rest of the characters leave something to be desired. They don’t get a resolution in the end. The ending was rushed and I wanted to know what happened to the second mls, her best friend, her sister, her future w her ml. The author left a lot of things open. I’m not one to usually say... more>> that Chinese novels need to be longer but there could’ve been another 50-100 chapters to explain everything else. I also know a lot of people are upset w the pairing of the FL and the ml. I agree he’s not the best and but I see the angle the author was coming from. It doesn’t excuse his behavior which is also why I wanted to know more about how he’d treat her better after choosing him. Idk up till about 75% of the story I thoroughly enjoyed it. I just feel it was rushed. It’s a fun read and engrosses you. I would recommend if you’re ok w a rushed ending. <<less

Reading this with the expectation of face slapping the ex-husband.

Not bad at first and then it became frustating & irritating. There's NO normal MLs. The ex-husband is a scumbag, another one is crazy lunatic, and the last one is a pyscho yandere.

... more>>
Spoiler

I kinda ship the actor as he is the ONLY normal one, but sadly the author didn't make him as one of the ML and chose ALL TOXIC MLs

[collapse]

The story can be better without those tr*shy MLs. I really hoped the FL ended up alone or with just a normal ML. No need these f*cking crazy bastards.

Surprised the FL can still ended up with the ML who gave her trauma. Not recommended, read if you want to get abused. <<less

The story had potential to be better so I'm rating it as OK, but in reality, it probably deserves a 2 rather than a 3.

I enjoyed the beginning and most of the middle: even though at some point it got overused how amazing the FL is and how so many people hate on her for no good reason, but I really enjoyed her strong personality and it was nice to see her win in the end of most of the situations.

But then the end was unnaturally forcing the FL and... more>> ML together while dropping every other characters' existence. I struggled quite a bit to finish this story. Truth be told, I think the only reason I kept reading this was because the translator cut the story at brilliant points that made me want to know what happened. I hated the cliffhangers but I am impressed with the translator's ability in this.

Meh character development: aside from the FL having a strong personality and a background that hits the emotions, the male characters were just there for support. The relationships are not very well-developed.

Repetitive plot: the FL is looked down upon but then it turns out she's amazing. That's pretty much the plot. This would be a fun read if you want a story where the FL wins, but I am super disappointed with the ending. <<less

It's an okay novel. You have to ignore a lot of irritating elements like when she keeps saying flippant comments or when there is a part when she talking sh*t about someone. One thing that I didn't like was that the male lead was one of her main bully. She was tormented beyond words and is still facing consequences of that, yet all is forgiven because the male lead had been secretly in love with her for years. It would have been better had the male lead not met the... more>> female lead since the beginning or at the very least had not tormented her. He does seem to realize his mistake and genuinely apologizes but I can't help thinking that is they fight in future, he will return to tormenting her. What I do like is that female lead doesn't have a golden finger, though she does not suffer any losses, the story does realistically show her working on her acting and her craft. One more thing that I didn't like was her apologizing to her ex. He didn't love her and she fell out of love with him but she didn't need to apologize for loving him. She pursed him, they got married and the got divorced, it's not like she tormented him. <<less

the college kid that pursued the FL isn't the ML but the psycho bully who tortured her is?
