Wake-Up Call for a Cannon Fodder

Boss, Let's Not Get Divorce kicks off with the most overused trope in the danmei genre. Zheng Shu, our protagonist, gets hit by a car and pulls a classic transmigration into the novel he just finished. He ends up in the body of a rich brat who shares his name but is destined for a miserable end as cannon fodder.

The original version of this character was written as a stuck-up idiot slated for a tragic exit right after his divorce was finalized. Realizing his grim future, Zheng Shu wastes no time tearing up the settlement papers right in front of his powerhouse husband. He's determined to cling to the only lifeline he has to stay alive.

A Purely Pragmatic Protagonist

The highlight here is how Zheng Shu is written. He isn't some self-sacrificing martyr; he's a cold-blooded pragmatist. He's a bit lazy, sure, but he's sharply attuned to the situation. That raw survival instinct keeps him level-headed enough to make the most strategic moves.

Standing in his way is Yu Sinian, the quintessential cold CEO, complete with those intellectual glasses that scream authority. He's the ultimate power player, the kind of man even the main antagonist fears and respects. Yu Sinian's icy demeanor is the biggest hurdle for our transmigration schemer.

Corporate Power and Family Dynamics

The business setting is sketched just enough to justify Yu Sinian's absolute dominance. Curiously, Zheng Shu's own father hands the keys of Zheng Group over to his son-in-law, creating a dynamic fueled by cold, commercial interests.

The fact that his biological family couldn't care less actually gives our protagonist the freedom to act without family interference. That said, for more demanding readers, the lack of high-stakes mental chess makes the elite family setting feel a bit hollow.

The Silver Linings

• The chemistry between the leads is naturally funny, thanks to the contrast between a pragmatist and a strictly stoic man.
• Zheng Shu acts with zero hesitation, leveraging his meta-knowledge to dodge mistakes and seize every chance at self-preservation.
• The relationship builds slowly but surely, with their encounters handled in a way that is smooth and readable.
• Cutting out the usual web of unnecessary side characters keeps the plot locked onto the journey of earning the trust of the CEO.

The Hard-to-Swallow Bits

• The 'transmigrate and cling to a gold thigh' trope is exhausted, making it far too easy to guess the next plot point.
• Yu Sinian's emotional shift occasionally lacks depth, feeling more like it’s driven by the other guy's persistent hovering.
• Family disputes are resolved far too shallowly, failing to capture the true complexity of high-society power struggles.
• At around 120 chapters and still ongoing, impatient readers might find it a bit taxing to follow.

Community Verdict

• System707: 4.6/5 (21 ratings as of 04/10/2026); readers dig the lighthearted fun and the cuteness of the pragmatic bottom.
• Novel Updates: 4.0/5 (105 ratings as of 04/10/2026); critics say the plot is stale but the smooth writing is the major hook.

Final Verdict

Overall, this novel is a decent little treat for anyone looking to unwind. While it lacks any jaw-dropping twists, Zheng Shu's quest to save his contract marriage is still enough to bring the laughs.

To be blunt, it is a middle-of-the-road story. It doesn't break any artistic ground, but it offers a consistent and enjoyable reading experience for what it is.

The Gist: A fun transmigration danmei that's perfect for fans of the 'marriage first, love later' trope and pragmatic leads. Stick with Zheng Shu if you want to see a cold CEO get tamed in the most entertaining way possible.
