No, but that does bring to mind another billionaire CEO romance where the CEO hires a fake girlfriend in order to soothe hisparents’ anxiety. In that novel, the fake girlfriend is a botanist. A really charming and specific book by a completely different author.
Wait, I got sidetracked. I have a problem where I associate plot with trope rather than author. My question from earlier was: is there a sequel to this? Honestly, I have no idea and my TBR list is a jumbled mess of similar-plot novels – they all start to look the same after a while.

Library Genesis (libgen.is) occasionally carries really off the wall romantic novels such as this. You might also be able to find it on Amazon in Kindle Unlimited under a slightly different title. The ‘contract marriage’ and ‘secret twin’ are sort of genre tropes and fairly frequent. I’ve had a few fan translators DM me on Twitter to share private drive links to their translations of these sort of novels. (I don’t recommend, however. It’s sort of like treasure hunting – rarely worth the trouble.)

Do you think these billionaires ever use their billions of dollars to go to therapy? That would solve about 90% of the problems in these stories.

This is the ethical journey of Leo, a nice guy but not necessarily someone who’s done the right thing. He has to divest himself of material possessions and make amends in some way. The ending of the book is part of his process of reparations, i.e., of making amends. He’s not just donating to charity, he’s transferring power. The shares he’s transferring are shares in a corporation and they represent voting stock or a seat at the table. This is a very political thing for Leo to do and it’s part of his journey as a person. His love for Elena is intertwined with the amends he is trying to make to her and her family for the way in which his family’s wealth may have affected them. It’s deep for a romance novel.

For Chinese rom-coms, I’m a Viki girl. The Chinese rom-com “Too Late Mr Billionaire” is currently available to stream in High Definition on Viki and their mobile app for Smart TVs works wonderfully. Although “Too Late Mr Billionaire” may be geo-blocked in some regions, using a VPN (very quietly please) might just do the trick. This sugary sweet romantic comedy is best devoured with snacks of your choice!

I have no idea what this title is. This is a super flooded genre and I bet many titles are gettin to sound the same after a while (like ‘The CEO’s Secret Wife’, ‘The CEO’s Contract Lover’, ‘The CEO’s Hidden Baby’, etc.). Oh wait… maybe the story gets more clear if you describe it to us? Maybe there’s some specific scene that you remember and that could be enough to help us identify the story (like a mistaken-identity-type-scene at a gala or a rainy shared-umbrella-type-scene and so on…)? Yes, the community is way better at recognizing stories by their typical tropes than by their (possibly changed for other platforms/translations) titles. And the details of the plot are way more unique than the story’s title which typically follows a pre-set formula for this genre.

If a novel such as Crown Me Yours exists as a free audiobook on Spotify (we would have to search for it), listening to it while at work would be an ideal way to read the novel as we have a Premium account which includes tons of free serialized audiobooks. There also exist YouTube channels that offer ‘podcast-style’ recordings of novels. Each chapter is read by a voice and there are even full productions that include many voice actors.
Keep in mind that YouTube videos (in the form of playlisted audio podcasts) can get removed quickly when a channel receives a copyright strike. That is why it is good to download the whole YouTube podcast or save it offline as fast as you can. These amateur reads can actually bring lots of charm to the story and can make for a very nice alternative way to experience a story, turning your search from ‘where to read’ to ‘where to listen’.

Ugh, I'm so sorry for the confusion. I thought this was going to be a discussion about the manhwa adaptation for ‘The CEO’s Secret Contract’ (which I’m reading from the webtoon of the same name). Wrong thread. Disregard this please.

Are there other people out there feeling like we're drowning in a sea of web fiction apps, and each time someone new is suggested for reading a particular story, we just roll our eyes and say "Ugh, not another app for reading stories"... Webnovel, Radish, Kindle, AO3 are the four apps that I'm currently using for reading stories online, and I really don't want another app to be added to that list to consume even more of my battery and to send me even more notifications. I wish web fiction was more like it used to be and we could just go to a single website and read a particular story there. But as it is now, web fiction is pretty Balkanized. My answer to "Where can I read that?" is usually, "I don't know, and I'm not downloading another app to find out."
I'd just read something else on that platform. There's plenty of other content. Apps prey on the fear that you're missing out on a particular story, and sometimes you just have to let it go and discover something new in your existing library of content.

To me, the key scene between Caroline and Klaus was never meant to be a scene where Stefan or Damon comes in and saves her from Klaus. Caroline is a very strong and capable character and saves herself from just about every bad situation that she finds herself in. Because she is so strong and capable, I think that Klaus respects her above just about everyone else. He’s always been a character who respects great strength above all else, and even though his strength is an ancient, brutal, hard-as-nails kind of strength, Caroline’s strength is a modern, moral, resilient kind of strength, and I think that their story is just about which kind of strength will have more of an impact on the other.
