THE IDEAL BELLY

Bai Ran had been married to Chen Chen for three years—three years in a secret marriage, only to have him hand her a divorce agreement. He asked her to sign it because he wanted to give his ultimate unattainable lover, Hu Wan, a beautiful ending. Chen Chen said, “Go and see Hu Wan tomorrow. If she asks you, tell her that you already have a boyfriend.” Bai Ran said, “Okay.” Chen Chen said, “You have to do everything it takes to convince her and make her happy.” Bai Ran answered, “Okay.” Staring at Bai Ranran’s calm face, Chen Chen felt an inexplicable sense of frustration and uneasiness. Seeing the lack of hesitation on Bai Ran’s face as she signed the divorce agreement, Chen Chen regretted it. To Bai Ran, ever since she signed the divorce agreement, Chen Chen’s name had been erased from her memory. Even though she had loved him for more than ten years, once she gave up, she would never look back.

Yan Xi, a medical prodigy who obtained a doctorate at the age of 22, never expected to end up transmigrating into a novel. Her husband was the female lead’s fourth brother, Gu Shen. He was a bigshot in the business world who had suffered from disability from a young age and could only move in a wheelchair. However, he was a handsome man full of schemes. Yan Xi became the cannon fodder wife of a bigshot in the business world. Her first love, Zhang Ming, had stabbed her husband’s subordinate with a knife. To force Gu Shen to release Zhang Ming, she had unhesitatingly to stab herself to threaten Gu Shen. Eventually, Gu Shen released the man and gave her a large sum of money. She took this money and eloped with Zhang Ming. After that, Zhang Ming planned for a car accident that ended her life as they hit the road, which allowed Zhang Ming to conveniently take her money and run far away. When she transmigrated over, Yan Xi found out that she had just stabbed herself with a knife and was in the critical stage of deciding her future fate! Therefore, when Gu Shen threw her the divorce agreement, Yan Xi decisively refused. “Hubby, I won’t divorce you.” Gu Shen was surprised by her change. “Have you thought it through? I’ve left you some real estate and cash. It’s enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life.” Yan Xi revealed a confident smile. “I’ve thought it through. Zhang Ming stabbed your men with a knife. You should hand this matter over to the law. I won’t interfere anymore.” The surprise that Yan Xi’s change brought to Gu Shen did not end there. After that, she tore off the mask of her hypocritical best friend and calmly dealt with her scheming family members. She personally treated Gu Shen’s chronic illness for many years. Bit by bit, she managed to shock everyone around her who was once prejudiced against her.
