Someone told me that a marriage that is exchanged for money is risky.
I smiled, not wanting to give any comment.
Someone warned me that you lose your dignity for this kind of marriage.
I smiled, because I can’t be bothered.
Someone wished me all the best, saying that there will still be true love in my marriage.
I smiled, turned my back and walked away.
This is a marriage that is like a transaction. We are just making use of one another to get the most out of this marriage even though I have only met him once.
I want to write this story down, to use words to remind myself that no matter whether this is wrong or right, this is my decision. I have to persist and move on.
Perhaps, what I have been waiting for or what has been waiting for me, will come in the end.
[Ebook] [Other Novels by this Author][Audiobook]
Just finished reading this in 2 days hehe.
Surprisingly, this author is the same author as the one who wrote Schemes of the Beauty, starring Ruby Lin and Samuel Tong. I watched the drama halfway and stopped after reading the spoilers. The story became a bit crazy in the 2nd part of the drama.
This novel is also like Schemes of the Beauty, because it is a bit like a soap drama. With the swapping of children since young and falling in love and blah blah. But this is done with the right amount! 🙂
I didn’t get the part where the female lead become willing (SOOOO FAST) to born a child for the family in exchange for money when she doesn’t really need to do it… Forgetting that part, this novel is still not bad. Considering the part where I like novels where the male lead doesn’t explicitly shows his love but does it in a more subtle manner.
The male lead is deaf, because the mother exchanged his hearing to secure his position in the family. He recovered after that though but pretended that he is deaf. His mother didn’t even know about this.
He has a vicious mouth and a Chinese phrase “kou shi xin fei” suits his very well. You have to decipher the meaning in his words to realise that he means well 🙂
All in all, I like this novel, probably because he is deaf at first (I have a fetish for this kind of male leads nowadays :P) and I like novels where the female lead marry the male lead for money/revenge but ends up falling in love with each other.
Hi cloudandsea , I read this one year later and would like to share my thoughts with you. She is not that willing cause she cries during their first time. As an elder sister, she has a very strong sense of responsibility. She feels indebted to TY as she already used their money for her brother operation. Her brother heart condition is not stable and could need further treatment. She also needed the money to continue both their studies…so she need to keep this ‘job’ no matter what they need her to do. She was very septical on how a child would complicate their eventual parting. What I don’t get it was how easily they stop the sales of shares from his uncle and how Tang Yuan’s mum just willingly take the fall in the end as long as her son get all the uncle shares.. She was so cold and cruel to TangYuan throughout the novel. What kind of mother will harm her child just to get full control of the company. I was also bother that technically MoMo identity at the Ling’s household should be Meng Ting Ting (her biological mum did marries a Mu but she take the surname of her mum) and amount of shares she and her baby will get. But I like the way the writer tells her story…full of suspense and surprises. Plus for the first time, our heroine show why she is fit to pursue her Master..She is smart and piece many things together on her own. I am very touch by the relationship between MoMo and her brother…although they are not related by blood, they are closer than blood siblings…In many novels, the OTP is very opposite in character..but here the reason why TY fall for MoMo was because she is quiet and fit perfectly into his quiet world….Nice read…
Glad you like it and thanks for sharing! I found the plot tried to make things “happen” sometimes but generally, I really like the OTP a lot. 🙂 And ya, what kind of mother will make her son deaf so that she can get the company, right? Like… the welfare of her son should be more important since she wants to use him to get the company. But yeah… I like the female lead and she is quite strong and not whiny.
Hi the brother I refer to is Ning Ye Ye…the plot involved children being brought up by a different set of parents…Ning mo mo is also know as Ling Ting Ting in the Ling’s household.. Spoiler : both Ning Ye Ye and Meng Yu Mu are her brothers
@cloudandsea, fully agree with you..that’s why I find her final redemption out of character…Ling Tang Yuan is a very awkward person but if we “listen” to his encrypted message, he is such a sweet and caring man. His childhood is just so sad. His father doesn’t love him, his mum use him as a tool and that stupid Fang Ting betray him…The title is so right..Listen to my heart….Both our OTP did just that..
I’ve been busy reading lately thanks to snow & cloud:P I finished this book in 2 days, my whole weekend 🙁 It is such an addictive book, so stay away from it if you treasure your health, lol. The mystery is suspenseful but too complicated. The inter-relationships are way too makjang or gouxue (dog blood) which should be toned down. More focus on the OTP’s relationship will make the book even better as I like them and want to read more on the development of their r/s. Anyway, this is one of the best gouxue’s novel I’ve ever read (mind u I dun read that many:P). Also, it is not draggy and the OTP’s r/s is kind of diff fr the norm due to the male lead’s deafness. I’ve never read any disability book b4 so it feels fresh. The author’s writing skill is pretty good, not monotonous or boring.
