Get Rid Of The Male God And Marry The Rich
Meng Yu has loved Xiao Qi for ten years. He is her male god and her light. She chased him and humbled into the dust. But the ten-year relationship is no better than his Bai Yueguang’s gentle smile. Even if she was divorced, even if she already had a daughter, when she came back, His heart followed.
Too full of love, too deep to hurt, Meng Yu suddenly realized that she didn’t want any bullsh*t anymore.
Later…
Meng Yu was forced to replace her step sister to marry the old and ugly man who was said to be powerful. On the day of the wedding, stood a tall and handsome man in front of her and said to her, “From now on we will be husband and wife. Please advise me for the rest of my life.”
Meng Yu: “???” Huh? what old and ugly?
Others said he was cold and cruel, and asked her to be careful, but after marrying her, Meng Yu felt that he was considerate and spoiled her to the bone.

BEWARE of SPOILER
This novel left me with extremely mixed feelings because it honestly could have been one of my favorite modern romance face-slapping stories… until the reveal completely changed how I viewed the male lead.
The beginning was genuinely strong. Meng Yu’s relationship with Xiao Qi was frustrating in a very believable way. She spends ten years loving him, centering her entire world around him, only to realize she could never compete with his “white moonlight.” Watching her slowly wake up from that emotionally exhausting relationship and regain some sense of self-worth was satisfying. I especially appreciated that the male lead was not Xiao Qi. Thank god.
And then Chu Xiujin entered the story.
At first, he was honestly great. The arranged marriage trope was done really well because Meng Yu goes in expecting some old, ugly tyrant, only to find this handsome, composed, terrifyingly competent man who absolutely spoils her rotten. Their married life was peak cotton-candy fluff. The dog food was everywhere. He pampered her, respected her, communicated properly, and unlike a lot of domineering CN male leads, he never treated her cruelly or abusively. The relationship drama was also surprisingly mature. Problems were discussed instead of dragged out endlessly with misunderstandings, which made their dynamic refreshing.
I really loved their chemistry in the beginning.
But then comes that reveal.
Turns out Chu Xiujin’s childhood white moonlight was Meng Yu all along… and he had been secretly stalking her for years.
Not “coincidentally keeping tabs” either. Actual stalking. Hiring people to monitor her life, collecting information, taking photos, scheming behind the scenes, and even orchestrating events that indirectly contributed to her breakup with Xiao Qi by reintroducing the ex-boyfriend’s white moonlight into the picture.
And that completely changed the tone of the novel for me.
The problem isn’t even that the story acknowledges his behavior is abnormal. It actually does. Chu Xiujin himself knows he’s messed up. He openly admits he’s obsessive, manipulative, and not normal. Weirdly enough, that self-awareness made him more interesting as a character. He’s not written as a flawless prince. He knows exactly what he’s doing.
And to be fair, he never physically harms Meng Yu, restricts her freedom, isolates her, or becomes violently possessive. Compared to some truly horrifying male leads in this genre, he’s practically functional. He respects her boundaries in daily life, supports her emotionally, and genuinely wants her happiness. Aside from the stalking and manipulative setup, he actually behaves like a loving husband most of the time.
But the stalking is still stalking.
That’s the part I just couldn’t fully get over, especially because the novel spends so much time building up Meng Yu reclaiming her dignity after a relationship where she lost herself. It felt like the story was heading toward female empowerment and rediscovering self-respect through healthy love. Then she finds out about years of surveillance and manipulation… and basically just goes “wow, you pervert” before continuing the romance normally.
That disconnect was what knocked the story down for me.
At the same time, I can’t even fully hate the couple because, strangely enough, they do fit each other perfectly. Meng Yu is someone who spent her whole life emotionally neglected. Her father died early, her mother overlooked her, Xiao Qi constantly hurt her emotionally, and more than anything, she desperately wanted to be loved wholeheartedly. Chu Xiujin gives her exactly that — excessively, obsessively, overwhelmingly even, but sincerely.
And Meng Yu herself genuinely likes his possessive, dominant personality. Their emotional needs, personalities, and even romantic preferences align in a way that makes the relationship function. If you replaced Meng Yu with a fiercely independent heroine who hated being controlled, this marriage would become psychological warfare within three chapters. But with these two specifically, the puzzle pieces fit together.
So in the end, this novel feels like a modern fairytale wrapped around a deeply questionable premise. If you stop expecting it to deliver meaningful themes about female independence or healthy relationships, it becomes much more enjoyable as pure fantasy fluff. The romance is sweet, the face-slapping is satisfying, and the couple chemistry is undeniably addictive.
I just can’t shake the feeling that it could have been more. Underneath all the fluff was the setup for a genuinely powerful story about healing, self-worth, and learning to love properly. Instead, it ultimately romanticizes behavior that would be terrifying in real life.
Still, as long as you go in knowing exactly what kind of story this is — obsessive ML, mary-sue fairytale vibes, heavy wish fulfillment, and morally questionable romance — it’s honestly a pretty entertaining read.
