Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Tan Rou only learned that she wasn’t the Tan family’s daughter when she was seventeen years old. She went from being a rich young lady to living in the slums. The parents she adored belonged to someone else, and this series of knockdowns was hard for a seventeen-year-old girl to accept. She wailed like a child for the sake of proving this was all a lie. The vicious words she spouted had hurt her biological family but she didn’t notice. She thought the Tan family was her real family despite them seeing her as an eyesore, and was even naive enough to want to befriend the Tan family’s real daughter, Tan Jing. Alas, the latter drugged her drink and arrange for a thug to rape her. Tan Jing even brought their classmates along to catch them in the act so Tan Rou was now tainted for life. After being reborn, she looked down at the man she was stepping on. Tan Rou swore not to be a useless wretch in this life or be bullied to death. She would stomp on those who wronged her and make it up to her real family. They wouldn’t have had to die tragically on the streets in the past life had it not been for her. Tan Rou turned completely evil after crawling back out of Hell. Everyone claimed that the real young lady was educated and talented, while the fake young lady was arrogant and incompetent. Tan Rou scoffed upon hearing this. She held back her brother from trying to stand up for her. “We have all the time in the world. Let’s just wait and see.” Just as everyone was waiting for Tan Rou to make a fool of herself… A top-class perfumer, a top scholar, a world champion… The fake young lady’s multiple identities kept getting exposed one after another, bumping her up to number one on the trending search, shocking the world. Wait, where was the promised humiliation?

Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

Se estaba ahogando en oscuridad y dolor. Asfixiada como siempre, vio al alfa de la raza vecina entrar en su vida y traer luz a su existencia. ¿Es él su salvador? Con tantas cosas poco claras, una cosa que sí sabía era que su vida daría un vuelco cuando él la llamó "compañera". Loba rechazada consigue otro compañero alfa? ¿Es una bendición o una maldición? "Desde que se casó con Tristan Flynn hace tres años, Esther White había sido una esposa obediente tanto en la cama como en la vida. Tenía la ingenua idea de que podría derretir el corazón de Tristan con su ternura. Más tarde, se dio cuenta de que incluso derretir glaciares era más fácil que conmover a Tristan. Durante los tres años de matrimonio, Tristan creía que podía describir a su esposa Esther con dos palabras: aburrida y poco impresionante. Sin embargo, ella se atrevió a humillarlo en público arrojándole los papeles del divorcio en el aniversario del Grupo Flynn. Él miró fijamente a Esther, quien se veía serena y elegante en un vestido rojo, y entrecerró los ojos. Todos pensaron que Tristan y Esther no tendrían ningún contacto después del divorcio, e incluso Esther no era la excepción. Más tarde, Tristan debía entregarle a Esther el premio al mejor guión en una ceremonia de premios. Después de entregarle el trofeo, el elegante y frío Tristan de repente suplicó sumisamente frente a la multitud: "Esther, es mi culpa no haberte valorado en el pasado. ¿Puedes darme una segunda oportunidad para ganarme tu afecto?" Esther miró a Tristan con una sonrisa brillante y distante. "Lo siento, Sr. Flynn. Mi carrera es lo único que me importa en este momento". Tristan tomó la mano de Esther, sus ojos llenándose de melancolía. "Esther, no puedo vivir sin ti". Esther se dio la vuelta fríamente y pensó: "¿Estás bromeando? ¿Por qué saldría con un hombre en lugar de concentrarme en mi carrera? Además, eres mi ex-marido".
