I really liked the beginning. Strong, interesting characters and FL was awesome. The plot was not on the strong side, unfortunately, there were some pretty heavy deux ex machina in the middle of the story. And if I say that the ending was rushed, it's only half the truth. Quite disappointed in this one. At least it had decent translation which is not given on this page as of late. SPOILER ! ! ! I really liked our main villain Jiang cause he had character and was clever. Maybe too much because writer did him dirty and used quite heavy handed twists to make him less desirable partner than ML. Our FL also was suddenly very cold and ultra rational in everything related to him which just left bad taste in my mouth, especially when she was emotional towards our ML. It was in the middle of the story and I needed to take a break fromt this novel because of it. ! For anyone who cannot finish the story, here is brief summary: She will end up with ML. Probably because the finale was so rushed the unfinished plotlines are like little tentacles all around it. ML Shi returned to country safe and soudn, initially uninterested towards FL, slowly falling for her. In very immature way, in my opinion. Comparison to villain Jiang... le sigh. But he cared for her and was capable in managing company. Villain Jiang (sorry if names are wrong, bad memory) was her childhood friend from previous life who "summoned" her to this world. He really loved her and did many things for her. When FL first arrived, she lost her memories of her husband and villain - which she has done herself to forget villain IN HER PREVIOUS LIFE. They were kind of childhood sweethearts but as general daughter, she married for politicks. She made here choice in not marrying villain and drank water from river of forgetfulness to forget him. In order to help her remember, he prepared movie filming with their story from previous life depicting everything. Eventually, FL remembered. Villain Jiang was done dirty by author and was portraited as megalomaniac and ruthless character in previous dynasty for which our FL didn't want anything to do with him. She even kind of tricked him so he will be unable to marry her (told him she will marry the best ranked guy in the emperor's exams - she knew it would be best "warrior" and tricked him to obtain the best scholar title). In the end, he ended up as fiance of some Song chick which he will probably off in the future cause she arranged kidnapping of FL and wanted her rxped and our villain loves FL much soo... Siblings are ok and doing good, probably. The first villain was Jiang, second master moving in the shadows was that Li Ci (?) guy who wanted compete with Shi and Jiang families, and third was some unknown figure who really messed up the plot and had good understanding of the situation (kind of prophetic) and wanted Shi family destroyed. We never found out who it was, my personal bet was probably FL previous husband from last life? Just had this feeling. The story unfortunatelly got dropped before it was finished. As for the chick who ML found in Africa - she was manipulative, white lotus character and she was working for third unknown villain. Not even sure if she liked ML, tbh.

The remarks about Africa are kinda offensive as an Africa person reading this novel. I hope the autho will not make such remarks in the future

this novel has a combination of other novel. In the part of the ml leaving after getting married and the pregnancy stunt is a little bit similar to " madam is a sensational figure in the city". While in the area of her going for brother-in-law has a similar part in "the crippled boss loves me". I was reading and was getting confused because it keeps looking like I have read a similar story but I have to check and see the different points in it.

Loved By An Older Man

The betrothal gift is two million bucks, not a single cent less. Jiang Yu is already eighteen years old and can get married now. Send the money to my card, and this matter is settled!" Jiang Yu looked at her mother, who was talking non-stop on the negotiation table. She watched as her mother named her price as she sold Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu could not believe it. Eighteen years ago, they brought the wrong baby home from the hospital, and Jiang Yu, the real daughter of a wealthy family, ended up in an orphanage until a year ago. Jiang Ran, the fake daughter of the Jiang family, grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth. With superior resources since she was young, she was more outstanding than Jiang Yu in every aspect and became the pride of the Jiang family. Jiang Yu, who wandered most of her time in the outside world, was nothing but a country bumpkin who made her mother a laughing stock in the socialite circle. However, Jiang Yu had no idea how great her mother's hatred for her was. On the day she turned eighteen, her mother 'sold' her with a named price. Jiang Yu said, "If you want to marry your daughter to someone else, it should be Jiang Ran. I'm your real daughter. You're the one who mistakenly brought Jiang Ran home!" Her mother replied, "Shut up. I wish I hadn't given birth to you. You've brought nothing but shame to me!" Jiang Ran said, "Big Sis, everything Mom does is for your own good. Don't blame Mom." Her mother said, "I'm convinced she's nothing but a debt collector who's come to me to collect her debts! Either you give me two million bucks, or you get married obediently!" Jiang Yu left home in despair. By a freak combination of factors, she found herself accidentally marrying a Mr. CEO. From then on, the thirty-year-old man pampered his eighteen-year-old wife to the heavens. The little girl said, "Mister, someone bullied your wife!" The man, "Which incompetent fool is so blind that he dares to bully you?"
