ML is cold and aloof (as usual). But he takes responsibility seriously. So yes, he's always on the FL's side (since she's his fiance) . He's aversive to the emotion 'love' due to his family environments. So he'd rather clings to his belief in emotionless marriage.

FL is amazing. She's actually the top-notch intelligent and awesome bai fu mei. But all the people in her circle (except her 2 bffs) thought she's ditzy, fool and arrogant. She put on a brave face, but she's very insecure, and long to be loved by her closed ones.

ML & FL are not celebrities, but they have some involvement with the showbiz. The villainess is a celebrity, and she keeps entangling the leads in hot search.

Many drama backfired on the villainess (there's no true villain here, except the Jiang family).

I like how the ML's mom (not the stepmother) is actually really thinking about her son, though it's annoying when she's supporting the villainess. She was the one who forced the ML to own up to his feeling. And she supports her son's decision when she believes that ML really knows what he's doing.

I also really really like the nouveau rich Tang family (the FL's real family). They are the greatest! Each member grew with love and when the FL returned to the family, they unswervingly showered her with love, hoping that she can feel safe and secure.

Even the real daughter (FL is the fake daughter of the rich) was so good. She felt blessed and guilty that she took the FL's place for 20 years, especially after knowing how miserable the FL's life was before. She stayed away until the FL felt secured enough to include her in her (FL's) life.

It's the first time I feel both fake and real daughters are pitiful. But I like how the author wrote it.

TBH, I probably had better taste in novels when I was 12.

I could write a 50-page dissertation on all the problems but it's not worth raising my blood pressure on something so asenine.

• No matter how busy ML is, when FL was aboard, no matter how busy he is, he never forget to call FL once a week
• ML seems to take his distance from (A) and remain close to FL, even if it's too early to take conclusions

He claims he wants a fiancee that doesn't bring him trouble, but when he's the one that brings in the trouble he allows her to endure it all alone, always a step behind others to offer help. Then he even blackmails her to keep the engagement going or she will leave penniless. This guy is a scumbag regardless if he gets better at the end or not

Our FL has just graduated from a prestigious university. She's the second daughter of a rich family but this "rich" family is actually one of the lowest ranks amongst the rich families. She has an older sister and an illegitimate younger brother (son of father's mistress).

She just graduated from a prestigious university but for some reason, nobody believes it. She's in a groupchat with a bunch of rich kids who don't amount to anything. They like to spread gossip in this groupchat. It's featured prominently in the story. Basically they make fun of our FL in this groupchat and then inform her that oh, her fiance's white moonlight is back and she's about to be stripped off the engagement as she isn't worthy.

FL, Tang Nuan doesn't quite care since she knows she's in a contract with the ML, her fiance. He wants someone obedient and she just wants someone to protect her since her family is quite frankly, the worst of the worst. They're rubbish.

Some drama happens and we find out that white moonlight, Jiang Miao is a fake white lotus. Our FL however, is a fantastic green tea lady and she manages to overcome all the fakeness and reveal the true colours of Jiang Miao.

However, in a struggle with Jiang Miao, somehow both Tang Nuan and Ye Shuyan get injured. Tang Nuan wakes up with knowledge of the "novel world" that she's in where she's the villainess cannon fodder, and her fiance is the villain of the story. Her fiance Ye Shuyan is supposed to marry her, and somehow falls in love with Jiang Miao and regrets it. He ends up being a villain who tries to separate oriFL aka Jiang Miao from the oriML but suffers. Tang Nuan also dies miserably in the "novel world". She is found to be the fake daughter as she was swapped at birth, and her real family is supposed to be poor in the "novel world".

So when she wakes up, she's like, wtf. This is the absolute worst. She will not follow the novel ending!!! Also her fiance is scum!!! She will break off the engagement.

On the other hand, ML wakes up and also gains a golden finger. He can read minds! The range of his mindreading is only 3m for others, but for FL, it is somehow beyond 3m. FL doesn't know this and thought it's only 3m, so she will think fake thoughts when near the ML but when she's further away she'll reveal her true thoughts.

The rest of the story is about the FL trying to break the engagement subtly. She wants the ML to break it so that she gets some financial benefits as she's poor now ever since her family kicked her out of the house. She also did not want to rely too much on her 'real' family.

ML on the other hand, doesn't want to break up with the FL.

Along the way they fall in love, and also faceslap tons of people. It's a truly fun read.

FL is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She really graduated from a prestigious university (which no one believes) and got a lot of awards from her school days. But because her 'family' is somewhat on the bottom of the rich family list, people thought she was just another vase who climbed up using dirty means. FL and ML interacts like guests. They respect each other because they have the same interests and expect no love.

Then it's a fake daughter trope trying to tie up rich family by using the engagement—no. ML doesn't really mind about her background because what he was looking for was the person. And her biological family is awesome. They love her so much. They're even richer–the real landlord family, but apparently an upstart. I could never hold my tear ducts when they interact—either too funny or too heart-wrenching.

In the early phase, FL doesn't want to break up because she's freaking poor and she needs to give back the apartment she lived in and all the gifts back to ML if she asks to break off the engagement first. She doesn't want to live in the streets with zero money so she deliberately hold on until the right time to cancel the engagement.

The romance's kinda slow. Funny that ML finally realized that he likes the FL when his own mother talked about 'love' while introducing him to another girl she preferred. Then the real chasing starts here.

holy shit, is assistant wen too efficient?? Also, seeing assistant wen vs ye shuyan competing due to their relationships with the tang sisters is funny

13th

There was a project that FL made for ML and in fit of anger that what he felt was love for FL (pointed out by his friend). He changed to acquisition process.

Because he felt that being in love was s*upid.

And when FL got enough money to break the engagement which he cheated out to her like paying in double for all gifts she had received over the years he mentioned to bid for a few things for FL at an auction so her dept could keep increasing.

Their initial decision to be together was based on the fact that that they both denied to be in love and said to maintain basic decently without cheating. So 3 years when ML was ignorant of all gifts his assistant send to FL in his name was not a problem.

But still I can't imagine if it was like the future FL saw won't she be totally destroyed without any of her fault?

the thing is that ML was only annoying for 2 chapters then just as he mentioned 'i like you' after enlightenment he got quite likable like he turned turned form an cold iceberg to a sunny puppy who looks really cute. Supportive of his wife in everything and even declaring to be kept by his wife!!!!

When president ye is scared to call his assistant his brother in law

Where is tang xing? The daughter who our FL was exchanged with? Tbh that girl is really supportive and sweet I hoped the it would be like FL gaining another sister and with both of them not losing their parents.

There didn't even call tang xing for new year.....

Imagine 4 grown men asking for their -wife, wife, girlfriend, no status only to find them in singles club also the woman turning around the situation was the best !!! They directly turned the only single friend into non single category 🤣

ch 48 is an appetizer, and the beginning of honesty between them, the progress a bit painful but ch 51 at least ML realize his problem but author give more knife to push romance development at ch 52 and ending the chasing wife tropes is at ch 71
