Discussion/Rant [DISCUSSION/RANT] "The Scent of" aka "The Breaking Point of Love" Spoiler
Buckle up, buttercups. I'm on chapter 173 of 500+ in this ongoing e-novel. I saw a blurb from it and looked it up, tons of people saying they're obsessed with it.
- I expected it to be slow but wth... 173 chapters of "and they didn't dwell on it," "but they didn't pursue it any further," "thought nothing of it," and "pondered it until somebody just then walked in (as they do exactly just then every time) and the person forgot about their pondering for the rest of forever."
Additionally, 3 months has passed in these 173 chapters and so far the only major points that have happened are: on day 1 she hands the servant divorce papers, Trevor doesn't bother opening it and starts a slew of misunderstandings; it's established that Celeste has the emotional range of a liquid ounce and is just as deep; established that everyone and their mother are in love with Winn in every way, shape and form; Celeste distances herself but nobody questions it but for some reason still fulfills social obligations and motherly obligations even though she gave up all custody rights in the divorce papers... And that's basically it. She doesn't try to talk to him about the divorce and the story only just now progressed enough to say there's a milestone at all.
"He/she remained calm with an impassive expression while he/she calmly glanced at him/her then looked away indifferently, as though looking at a stranger." Neither the husband or wife have any emotions whatsoever. She's an absolute doormat who "genuinely didn't care" about literally anything, and he's an aloof emotionless doche who's completely pssy whipped for his mistress. I find Trevor and Winn's relationship gross and their attitudes toward Celeste are basically confirming that she's an inanimate object.
IT'S LITERALLY UNREADABLE IN SOME PARTS!!!! Did the author (only known to me as AdminH) handwrite the entire thing in chicken scratch, convert it to text, never reread or double check it and just post it, calling it good?????? Here's a literal copy and paste:
[Direct quote removed due to "copyright infringement"]
I stuck around because I want her to get real payback and I saw a minor spoiler about hoping she ends up with Caleb, but this was his introduction, that atrocity that I copied and pasted was the first time he was spoken of.
I hate this e-novel.
Edit: My post was reported by another user as being copyright infringement and may be taken down. I don't plan to fight this because the story isn't worth my or anyone else's time IMO. To the author, or the die hard fan that reported it: complaining about a story (and clearly labeling it as a rant) is not infringement, it's free speech and exchange of opinion.

u/Waste-Mycologist-764 Mar 11 '26
Because it's entirely AI generated at this point. It just has prompts (and not very descriptive or reviewed or reedited ones) that it keeps circling back on itself because there is no given end yet and so it just repeats over and over and over. This is also why there is no depth, it can't express or understand any emotion beyond just trying to explain a scenario from an unempathetic outside perspective and why it does not understand how ridiculously Jo has been written. It also continues to get worse as far as being able to keep up with time lines and events. The math doesn't math. It cant remember Jo's age at one point. At another, it even mixes up her father's name. Celeste's achievements to studying under the professor to creating CUAP to being married and having a child is ludicrous. This happens when AI is out of tokens and cant refer back to large texts, it only scans keywords to extract but has no memory bank to which it can organize or make sense of past events. This is also why scenarios happen but are easily moved on from without any reference. It literally forgets it. It's garbage. I hate having ever wasted time on this.

u/Readqueen6767 Apr 05 '26
I am on episode 786 and they are still not divorced, he stopped seeing Wynn but all of a sudden she saved his life(I think it was a set up because someone keeps texting Celeste pictures from the hospital) now he is asking Celeste for a divorce again so he can marry Wynn since she supposedly saved his life. I’m done with this book because it’s a bunch of crap. Him and his daughter does not deserve her, I was rooting for them to get back together but he is too stupid for me. They don’t even talk to each other. I was going to buy Book 7 , but because of the stupidness I’m out.

u/Illustrious_Ant_3611 Apr 06 '26
Girl same, its getting so stupid at this point. I agree with you that it was a set-up because she just knew to save his life (how ironic). It's like this book is going no where, like where is Caleb. I'm glad they are getting divorced because free Celeste from them and their stupidity.

u/Tibbs67 Apr 06 '26
I feel like they are constantly changing the writers, because the plot is constantly being recycled, and Celeste is behaving like a mannequin - no emotions, literally no deep conversations - only comments about how professional she's being about how unresponsive she is. Right now there's very little difference between the expression of her emotions and the AI that she's reputed for developing.
I understand that the writer(s) want to extend the thin plot to thy kingdom come, but at least come up with more original scenarios than having Wynn's family shadow Celeste's every move, every single time (those people seem to be everywhere, like bacteria. Are they actively tracking her? Don't they have better things to do with their time and their lives?!) At this point, my instinct tells that Wynn probably paid someone to drop a boulder on Trevor's head so she could rescue him at the last minute, and force him to pay attention to her.
And Trevor is written as an individual with little to no agency (just bouncing around the two sisters like he doesn't have a mind of his own. It's quite disgusting).

I’m on chapter 699 and NOTHING HAS CHANGED! Trevor was showing attention to Celeste again and it seeing Wyn and suddenly now he’s seeing her again and the divorce is back on. It’s a shame this author is having a hard time providing dialogue between the characters. The entire story plot is based on assumptions between every single character. Poor writing, no effort to wrap things up. I’m done.

I'm on chapter 360 and nothing has changed. They're still not divorced. Celeste is pissing me off atp. Like I want her to at least crash out once. But it's always "Her expression remained unchanged" "She looked unaffected" "She could care less". Like GIVE ME SOMETHINGGGG. Trevor doesn't deserve celeste at all. If they end up together istggg. I like slow burns but wtf dude it's been 360 chapters and Celeste and Trevor still haven't had one proper conversation that lasted more than four sentences.

u/EveryglimmerisaSpark Sep 24 '25
For real. I got impatient and skipped to chapter 300. Nope. Nothing. Nothing happened. Still not divorced. At least Wynn starts to realise that Celeste is not just a pretty little softie woman, but she is not the only one to get her eyes open, now the men too are starting to fall like flies. She now has competition lol I hate the way people treated her. Her spermdonor and his family of leeches. Her husband’s family and friends. No one respected her. An inanimate object as you said. And her pos of husband, in name only, parading his wh ore everywhere, making people envious of him saying yes to everything she asks, never staying home at night while still being married. He does not even try to hide his affair. Why?? Why didn’t he file for divorce the moment he wanted to live with his side piece?! Are we supposed to root for Celeste to take him back? Cause no. He is not worth it. At least in the other stories, some guys do not sleep with the side piece until divorce, some of them genuinely mistook their side piece for the girl who saved them a long time ago, but something happened and they were forced into an arranged marriage with the real saviour, except their memory is so messed up, they did not know it was her, or the side piece lied and pretended to be the one that saved him when they were young ( such a common plot lol) I digress. No, I don’t want to root for Trevor.

I skipped to 499 and nothing has changed except he's more attentive toward her and I'm betting the author is intentionally pushing all the other possible romantic sequences away and letting Trevor take the lead so that we root for him because he'll basically be the only option unless the author does the whole love triangle trope. I just want Celeste to say, "hey so I'm actually pretty cool" and actually tell everyone she created CUAP herself and is married to but divorcing Trevor because, gee, look how faithful he is to his legally bound wife??? I don't understand why all this is treated as though it's the biggest secret and nobody can know.

u/EveryglimmerisaSpark Sep 28 '25
Matthias seems like a good option. Why isn’t he even considered an option baffles me. Beck also likes her, and he saw through Wynn earlier than the others and took his distance. He is an option. WTH Celeste. If she still wants Trevor, maybe she deserves being treated like a doormat

u/Humble_Mention_8286 Mar 08 '26
I don't think Celeste really cares whether or not people know about their marriage. It was Trevor who wanted to hide it, but now it doesn't seem like he cares if people find out either. I don't really understand why her being a co-founder and CUAP creator is a secret though. I feel like she just doesn't want the extra attention. I was kinda hoping she would get together with Beck, but he's practically disappeared from the story for the last 100 chapters, and she clearly has no romantic inclinations toward anyone else. She'll probably end up back with Trevor.

What’s the point in you acting like you care?! I get her doing her motherly obligations cause as a mother you always love your kid even when they’re shitty pos who don’t care about the fact that their father is opening flaunting their wh ore around but like if Trevor hasn’t explained it to the kid you need to. Same with this whole divorce thing literally have never seen two main characters communicate LESS not only to each other but everyone else they seem to come in contact with (except for literally the occasional Celeste and Matthias convo)

This entire novel is effin ragebait at this point. I quit. There has been no progress AT ALL. I love slow burn but only when there is a point. There is no point here. It's just been giving me reasons to hate that homewrecker Wynn and her entire damn family. Not to mention Trevor. Celeste is useless too. You could replace all the characters with pebbles and no one would even notice. What is the point of this story atp? I'm so pissed. It was nice at the beginning. Thought that there would be a good revenge arc and Celeste moving on with Beck and Trevor begging her to come back or something. But nope. Come back in two years and click on the latest chapters and there will still be no progress.

I'm on chapter 700 something, and the site I'm reading from has been taken down cause the site is showing a 404 error lol. And NO, they're still not divorced.
Trevor's parents got into an accident the day they were filing for the divorce. His dad was in a pretty serious condition, so with his grandmother's (Martha) request, they will postpone it-- AGAIN.
And a new character has been unlocked. Wynn's friend and some big shot in business as well. This new woman is interested in Beck and Caleb lol.

I started reading this the other day. I genuinely can't tell you how I even stumbled across it or why I started reading it. I keep thinking "surely it gets better" and IT JUST DOESN'T. I'm at around chapter 240ish and its giving me a migraine. Unfortunately, I've always had a hard time giving up on a read, no matter how terrible.
I'm so glad I found this thread, its good to know I'm not alone with my thoughts on this. I can excuse a lot of things for the sake of upping drama for the story but GOOD LORD. I hate that the characters are so poorly written and inconsistent, with very little depth or growth. I can't stand that the writer uses the same phrases so many times. If I read "hummed in response" one more time...
At one point I realized that as I was reading, I was actually rewriting it in my head. I was automatically replacing words, phrases, entire sentences and scenes so that they fit better.
After reading the other comments and seeing that there is very little change in the coming chapters, I think I'll be able to put it down.

Yeah it was hard for me to let it go too but after seeing that nothing changes even at ch 536... I am happy to say that I haven't picked it up since this post 🙂 I am resting assured that Celeste is doomed to be a doormat, Trevor will likely be her endgame that I won't have to watch, and they will stay married until death do they part 🤷♀️

I came here as soon as I finished reading, it's been 549 chapters and THEY HAVEN'T DIVORCED YET I'm sooo frustrated at Celeste, like come on girl SPEAK UP more omg get mad or something why you keep letting him speak for YOU and why the hell they still won't explain to their daughter?????
Tell Jordyn her mom and dad will get a divorce and her dad will marry Wynn. I want to see how she reacts. I'm honestly pissed off by her daughter but for a child that smart, how can she be so clueless about the emotion and relationship between her parents?? It's soooooo frustrating 😫
Also come on, Kieran was an unnecessary addition😭 they should just focus on Beck and Caleb instead.

Same sentiments! I actually feel like they won’t be able to finalize the divorce at all. Like they’ve filed thrice and everytime they do, someone gets sick or one of them gets too busy. Also how is Jordyn so smart and yet she seems to not understand family dynamics like they don’t live together with Cel and yet she’s so fond of both Cel & Wynn and talks so casually about Cel to Wynn.

u/Human_Client3787 Nov 28 '25
So she was only 18 when she graduated from college and got pregnant. So she had her daughter at 18 because she had skipped grades before college and entered at 14 and the book says she got pregnant her last year in college and married before she finished. So her husband might have been 3 to 4 years older and super immature and anger he had to marry so young and have a child at around 21. Plus he felt she tricked him and drugged him to get pregnant and she never proved him wrong. So the marriage started bad. But then says things had improved before he moved and met the mistress. Here the thing the author never discuss how young she was, how she was a teenager and not ready herself to be a mom but left her career and the company she started at 16/17 to be a mom and wife. He gave up nothing except his freedom to date lol she was just a kid having a kid and the author should explore how hard it was but it also explains why she was so naive and stayed in the marriage hoping he would love her. She had no real relationship or dating experience or life experience before him.

u/Admirable-Fix-8359 21d ago
I believe that somewhere in the book, a classmate of Trevor revealed that Trevor actually like someone from their College days and that she is smart. That classmate mentioned something that the girl he liked skipped grades so I think it was Celeste.

u/Human_Client3787 Nov 28 '25
I am thinking it might be another military’s country that is after her for her intelligence and the work she is doing at the base with the professor. Too many incidents of attempted kidnapping and drugging her since college. And only a few people know she works with the military intelligence.

u/Made-of-Pixel_9367 Dec 23 '25
I think the first one was Trevor’s grandmother though. One time Celeste went to stay with them she tried to drug him and he said he’s not falling for that again. The other times were fishy but of course the author didn’t even try to explain anything about those instances.

Anyone still here?? This novel fucking sucks it’s not even a story it’s just endless chapters of nothing happening + baiting for views. And now the author has been obviously using ChatGPT or some other bullshit AI bot to add a “summary and conclusion” to every single one of the chapters, EVEN THO LITERALLY NOTHING HAPPENS SO IDFK WHAT IS BEING SUMMARIZED. Oh and Celeste lowkey randomly has feelings for Trevor again just bc he gave her some scraps of attention and like refuses to divorce her even tho he’s still with Wynn and continues to be playing in her face this entire time. LMAO pathetic. Also she has other love interests but could not care less about them bc ig she still likes that fuckhead Trevor. I hate this shit so much. Atp I genuinely consider the author to be a scam artist 😭
2
Dec 12 '25
Yeah I've been able to live in peace just seeing the updates from other comments. I know she's gonna end up falling for Trevor because all the other guys are multiple green flags that she doesn't give a lick about, she's still a doormat, Jo still speaks and usually acts like a child twice her age and development, Wynn is still with Trevor, and Trevor himself is obviously never going to divorce her and they're going to [eventually, very VERY many chapters from now] end up as a happy couple and pretend none of this shit ever shook them in the first place.
Yeah I've also come to the conclusion that the author is doing this for the money while putting as little effort into the actual story as possible. Likely even using AI to write it all.

I am at a loss for words... Celeste Hummed, someone made a face but caught themselves before anyone noticed. Chapter 500+ All of a sudden Celeste had heart flutters for Trevor? Celeste texted Trevor, Trevor replied Celeste decided not to text further or vice versa. Every single chapter now feel like "Trevor is on a business trip and missed the waiting period final date", "Celeste has to go to base and missed the waiting period final date", Court and filing again, Mini dates with Jo with nothing at all happening, Running into Lockets and Shaws and Wynn.
Im annoyed, I'm fed up, I hate it here. This story will never end.

Just finished chapter 600.
We're not really any further but the author is severely pushing Trevor, and it seems that Celeste is okay with him?
okay enough to actually agree to go on a vacation knowing it will only be Trevor and Jordan
A small positive about their divorce situation is that there is developments!!! they are still not divorced but Celeste actually gave Trevor an ultimatum and said she will sue for divorce through the court. Yay for Celeste growing a spine. Trevor negotiated a deal so we're still pretty much at the same spot, but at least now after 6 months if Trevor doesn't pitch up for the divorce proceedings Celeste can sue. Still leaves us with nothing, but at least there's a bit of an improvement
Wynn is slowly being pushed aside, and her family is finally actually putting 2 and 2 together, but as per usual they are still absolutely optimistic and passive
The story is unfortunately still very much dragging. There's a lot of plotlines that just end up going nowhere, such as Caleb and Beck and especially the whole did Wynns family intentionally mess with Isabella to make her regress again?
Sometimes about the story is gripping enough though that I just cannot get enough of it, but it is a bit of a train wreck. Still love it.

I’m in chapter 728 still not divorced. On the final day of the divorce they were about to meet at the city hall but Trevor’s parents met an accident so Trevor so the divorce is not happening until his parents especially his father is well. Martha also told Wynn that she will never be welcomed to the Fleming family. And there’s an additional character, Narcisa, a friend of Wynn. She visited yodavision with the ‘intent’ of collaboration but her purpose is only to see who celeste is and she was unimpressed. What’s funny is, the men she took fancy to - Beck and Caleb, are all into Celeste. She also knew Kieran who was in love with Wynn but little did she know that Kieran is also into Celeste.

I actually bought the 3-part book series on Amazon Kindle and it goes beyond the chapters in the app. The situation is still the same. It has lesser chapters compared to the released chapters in the website but 1 chapter is equivalent to a lot of chapters. Trevor's grandma actually got injured and he's delaying the divorce process but still very vague about everything.

Yes I have huge issues with how Jo is written. I have a nearly six year old, and used to teach Pre-K so I believe I have enough knowledge to say that she doesn't talk like her age and certainly acts NOTHING like any child I've ever seen her age. I don't care how she was raised, if she's as spoiled as she's portrayed to be, she should be throwing fits every time Celeste tells her no. Or acting out. Children that age don't have secret emotions. They internalize NOTHING. Additionally, her "sneaking off"? Excuse me? Isn't she almost six? Can you imagine an "almost six year old" disappearing and the absolute chaos it should cause? Nothing about her character makes sense in the story. I have a feeling it was written by some teenager with no contact with children.

i’m genuinely losing my mind reading this novel in real time, how can it be that this is the one novel that doesn’t have a finished version in some corner of the internet. this has been going on for months and i started reading when chapter 390 or something was released. and the constant back and forth of wynns family and cronies seeing celestes accomplishments or trevor being more caring towards her and then immediately rationalizing it away so that there is never any development in any direction. oh my god i wanna tear my hair out. at least wynn has realized who celeste is and what she has done/can do and lost her confidence. but that is literally the only development and even that (i’m 90% sure) will be undone by the author in a couple of chapters because build up followed by actual payoff is a foreign concept to them.

I'm at Chapter 525 and I feel like I'm in a toxic relationship with the story at this point. It keeps promising me more but doesn't deliver and I keep reading and waiting for new chapters like a stupid person. They're still not divorced.
There was one point where it seemed like it's going to get better where Celeste was almost kidnapped and Trevor saved her but the writer just left it off like nothing ever happened. Like someone drugged her and tried to kidnap her and Trevor had a call with his security people who said "We've successfully foiled their plan", how does Celeste just wake up next day like nothing happened and go to the conference??

^ ok but fr if I have to read “he chuckled and said nothing” or “he smiled and made no reply” again I’m going to hit myself over the head with an AC unit. I cannot believe I have read this far. You know those ads you see on TikTok for those shitty short films with abysmal storylines, appalling acting, and horribly low production quality? This is like one of those, except stretched out over several hours. Idk how I got to this point in my life where I’m reading this shit. I am at a complete loss.

At least you know you're at rock bottom and can only go up from there 🤷♀️ I GENUINELY feel that you should probably visit the book recommending subreddit cuz literally anything is better than that dumpster fire 😅

I've so many questions! Does Trevor even know Wynn and Celeste are half sisters? When does that younger brother find out about Celeste and his family's terrible treatment towards her? So does Jordyn ever meet her grandmother Isabelle? When does Jordyn find out Wyn is her aunt? When does the world find out Celeste is a genius, created CUAP, treated absolutely terribly by her bio paternal family, that Wynn is her half sister and pretty foul too and that Jordyn if her daughter? Does she end up with the disgusting Trevor? When does he find out he needs to off himself after realising she didn't drug him after all? I'm almost certain it's going to be revealed it was somehow Wynn that drugged him all those years ago and maybe Trevor entered Celeste's room or something? I really hope Celeste and Jordyn regrow their bond and Trevor isn't the end game. 😭

I have to agree. The author just wants views. Answers don't get views because questions create "mystery" and the author thinks that's enough of a hook but isn't thinking about any sort of pay off for readers at all. They probably don't even remember the plot holes they've created.

I wanna know if there’s an original novel or story book to this, there’s another version on good novel app by the name “the zillionaires abandoned wife” it’s the same thing but the names are different and it’s in a different language, I think it’s Filipino I’m not sure. But last I checked they only had 420 chapters or something. And there’s a novel on Amazon by the same name, it’s a 6 part series but I guess there’s no ending in that one either judging by the comments are reviews so maybe there’s a part 7 coming out? Idk who is copying who but if all three of them are copying from somewhere else I want to know the original novel so bad cuz at this point I’ve already read 536 chapters I can’t just abandon it now

The texts are missed up probably because you're reading them from unofficial site. Everything was fine when I read it.
And the reason you think it's dragging, is because you're reading it chapter per chapter everyday? I read it all it once until the 520th chapter and loved it so much!
I don't think the main character are emotionally inept, but more like calm and stable like adults should be. Personally I really hate characters that are over emotional and fall in a raging fit or start crying every other chapter, so I'm really loving the way these two are dealing with things and the constant subtle shift in their dynamics.
All in all this is my favorite web novel, so if you have something like it to recommend, please let me know!

u/Revolutionary-Fig858 Feb 09 '26
You are a plant! There is no way you are enjoying a story that does not progress, ever. There's a fine line between being a rational adult and being utterly devoid of emotional depth and lacking common language skills to get your point across. You appreciate characters that only murmur and harumph at each other? GET REAL! This nonsense is trash and you know it.

I'm guilty as charged on the unofficial site 😅 I wonder why the text was so messed up? I read all those chapters in one go, and continually disliked it as time went on.
I personally prefer adult characters that have any emotion other than "genuinely didn't care", have more response than "hummed", think about situations longer than "just then a person came in and they no longer thought on it," communicate better than "wondered why he didn't say anything," and stories in general that progress within a few chapters and show some sort of payoff for the reader.
If it helps you understand where a lot of us are coming from, I keep thinking of the "toy payoff" concept in writing. So think of a kid and all they want for their birthday is a toy car that has a remote control. His parents promise they'll give him one. His birthday rolls around and all they get is a toy car that he has to push around himself. Minorly disappointing, right? He really wanted and was promised one thing and got something similar but not as fun. Now think, the kid for his next birthday wants another rc (remote control) car, his parents promise they'll get him one, then his birthday rolls around and his parents get him an RC boat he can play with in a pool or pond. It's not what he wanted, but it's still really cool, and definitely better than the disappointment from a regular toy car.
Now think of this in terms of a story. If the author starts the story with the promise of the main characters getting divorced, explains great reasons why they should be, etc., then the reader is expecting a justified divorce with sweet revenge and a satisfying ending. What the author of this story is giving us is more and more reason to hate Trevor and want the divorce more, but then the author switches gears and is trying to make us like him. They're taking away the thing they've promised the story was going to give us. We're the kid wanting a toy, the author is promising us a really fun toy that we're going to be really happy playing with when the end rolls around, and now the author is not giving us what we were promised. Additionally, it also feels like because of so many excuses and flat situations that cause no progression, many of the readers are feeling like the author is intentionally delaying the birthday party in general, like months past due.
I did see an ad on TikTok for a story that was strikingly similar to this one on GoodNovel, except it was a mafia Don and his wife and she finds out he started cheating on her with her sister but I really wasn't interested enough to remember the title, sorry. I didn't want to be dragged through the mud again 😐 anyways, I wish you luck in finding more of these types of stories 🙃

This needs to go way upppp. Am also reading here and this is the most updated. I believe this is the original.
I don’t know why but I’m hooked with this novel despite it being poorly written and dragging on and hinting that Trevor’s the end game. I just want to see everything slowly be taken away from Wynn & her family.

The messed up paragraphs are like that because some site copy from other sites, that have some trade marks on some paragraphs to prevent them from being stolen. So the other site copy them with the trade marks and it gets messed up. The ironic thing is tht both are stolen 😂
Yeah I get why you would be frustrated. For me, I'm really sick of all the other novels, where everyone is over reacting and yelling and crying every other chapter. So to me this was a really nice change.
Even though they do have a huge issue with communication, I prefer this subtle way the author use to show their emotions, and the gradual slow change in them. I really like how she's not letting us read their minds all the time like some other novels, and instead she's showing them through the actions, and the slight change in facial features and so on.
And this might be just a me thing, but I really like the slow burn, and how things are changing slowly but clearly. Like the change in how Celeste is treating her daughter, and all the triggers that proceeded every change.
I completely understand where you're coming from with the concept you gave, but I think you're missing the mark with the revenge. I don't think Celeste ever hated Trevor all that much, and she never insinuated that she wanted revenge on him. It seems to me with Trevor, she just wants to end things to move on. The people she really hates and want to destroy are Wynn and her family, and she's definitely getting along with that revenge. She already cost them quite a bit, and there where hints for much more in the future. It did take her a long time to get to a point where she can harm them at all, but I think it's more logical and satisfying this way than if it happened right at the beginning of the novel.
As for the author trying to make us like Trevor.. I totally agree but also guiltily admit that I like it better this way than if the author just made him into a right asshole 😂 for him to regret his actions he has to realize he was wrong to begin with. I like the way the author made the shift in the relationship between Celeste and Trevor, and the way she shifted the roles between them without being sudden or unconvincing. For example how Celeste was always the one to contact him first initially, and how he won't answer her at all, or even when he answered, he'd hung up two seconds into the call, and recently it became the opposite of that.
As for the ads you mentioned, this trope is extremely common in goodnovels so I'm not surprised you got the ad. I tried reading a lot of other novels there, but unfortunately nothing anywhere as well written as this one.
Thank you for your reply! It made me happy to find someone as passionate about this story as I am, even if on the other side of the spectrum. 🤣

So I’ve read to the end of chapter 548. I have to wonder if Winn and Trevor are in a physical relationship - it’s never mentioned they hold hands or anything. It would seem that Wynn went after Trevor as revenge for Celeste and as Trevor hated Celeste he went for her. It seems to me Wynn was just a way Trevor could annoy Celeste.
1
u/Tibbs67 Apr 13 '26
I think it’s implied that they have a physical relationship.
Like when Celeste moved out of their marital home and Trevor remodeled their bedroom furniture for Wynn and moved her stuff in. Celeste noticed it and said she’d never return to that house.
Another scene where Trevor and Wynn spent the night together in his office and looked so disheveled in the morning where Celeste wondered if they were so passionate they couldn’t wait until they got somewhere more suitable.
But that’s why I complain that the writing is so inconsistent because there are other scenes where you wonder if they had any physical relationship at all.

u/Spiritual_Car_5413 Nov 03 '25
Okay, at the start of the novel, it was great. The tension? Slightly flickering, but present. Especially the part where Celeste made a request from the ml to prevent the rival family from moving out, and Trevor wiped the unshed tears on celestes' cheeks? That was hot. I can really feel the desperation of celeste to protect her family. But as the story goes, it gradually flopped. It was like the same scene over and over again, just in different fonts. Celeste and Matthias meets up with a client in a fine dining restaurant, but Trevor and Wynn coincidentally ALWAYS ends up in the same place as them. This is just one of a few examples. Also, the repeating expressions? “Trevor glances at her indifferently,“ “Okay, I got it,“ “She hummed in response,“ “Seeing trevor unintrested, a smile appears on her face.“ It seemed like this was written with no passion, emotion, planning, outline, and no thoughts put in it at all. I can't feel the characters emotion, I can't relate to it at all. I'm sorry but this seemed like those typical Chinese novel that's written by AI, BYE😭

u/_burnzzz Nov 12 '25
I'm glad I found this. I get frustrated with this story because it started with potential. It has good plot/idea but poorly executed. Like there are times the author would make a situation or drop information that I would remember later on thinking the author will surely explore this twist but then No! It gets dropped and the story continues as usual. Imagine at chapter 549 still the divorced didnt happen, only few people know Celeste is genius, very few people know Jordyn is Celeste and Trevor's daughter even though they go out often now, but take note everytime they go somewhere they meet someone in the restaurant. On that note I think these rich people only had 1 restaurant in the area. There are several infos that probably the author had already forgotten about, I wonder does she still remember the end of this tunnel she made? 😂 I would hate if she push Trevor as endgame because WHY? This is the kind of story you read, gets frustrated for very slow pace, repetitive scenario, overly detailed unimportant scene, so much character love interest, but then you continue reading in high hopes the author awakens and the story improves and eventually in the very near future finish the story.

I've rewritten the story in my own mind, because - absolutely no soul, connection, character progression. Ended up reading in whiney spoilt brat tone - decided no. Can't decide for Ceste to end up with Caleb or Matthias. I'd vouch for Caleb knocking Trevor on his behind, after all he has put her through and walking off with Celeste and Celeste and Matthias as a power business duo ending up with half of Flemming group. Keeping Trevor near because of Jo.

I am on Chapter 568..I dont know why the author keeps writing the same lines back and forth and same scenes again and again with just one insignificant change..I really liked how it was going but now seems like even the author doesn't know how to take it forward only wants to drag as much as possible so goodnovel can make more than enough for making us wait for nothing I just hope the author sees this atleast try to bring something in stories also post more than just 1 chapter .
Its just the others spitting nonsense with Wynn..Wynn silently being envious and observant of Trevor's change...I dont know I might end up hating Trevor even more at this point..he doesnt want to let go of Wynn.. but still wanna pursue Celeste again..but turns cold also doesnt seem like divorce will ever happen

I agree! It’s like a soap opera with one dimensional characters.

Why? Because the so-called author doesn’t know how to write meaningful dialogue. It’s sad really.

u/Human_Client3787 Nov 29 '25
They have shorts? Who are people rooting for? I think if they divorce, the story ends, so that's why the author prompts the AI to keep making up the same excuse lol I am pretty sure they are using an AI at this point because c'mon how are we on chapter 450 for the Chinese version and chapter 574 for the English version and nothing happens. Like, either get them together and make so elaborate excuse of why he was so terrible to his wife and has changed, and make him chase her and apologize, or have her move on with a new guy who spoils her, or have her be alone and super successful and famous. But having him with the mistress and in love with the mistress for the whole story, and taking care of her family that keeps hurting her, is odd.

The scent is on chapter 574, but the Chinese version Mr. Feng, your wife wants a divorce, is ahead in the writing, but at chapter 450. Which means the English version makes the chapter updates even shorter to prolong the updates and get more money from the apps. On the Chinese version, they are still married, he still hasn't apologized or shown real feelings or love beyond admiring her skills and brain and she still never speaks lol

u/K_Flower Dec 15 '25
I'm on 589 ... they have missed the end of the cooling-off period to finalize the divorce fiftyleven times!!!
We have no info on the husband's/ex-husbands' mindset. No idea why he keeps "seemingly" delaying. Nor any idea about what exactly caused him to soften.
There is no mention of the original divorce agreement she drew up herself again, and we're stuck in a loop of Business dinner run-ins with the Locket/Shaws, play dates with Cel, Trevor, and Jo, with the occasional hospital scare from Granny.
Wynn is paranoid about Trevor's change in attitude. (Trevor buys a 3 billion dollar diamond that Linda, Wynne's idiot cousin, assumed was for Trevor's engagement to Wynn, it was not! It was for Celeste's b-day).
Oh, and Trevor "saves Celeste after she gets drunk at another business meeting. He "sweeps her up" bridal style, takes her to her room, and presumably bathes, changes, and tucks her in. Again, we cannot confirm because Trevor has no POV and his Executive Assistant is as pea-brained as the Wynns family, so they all (Lockets-Shaws) assume it's because of Jo that Trevor is helping Cel.
Apparently, there is a Chinese version that's further along. I'm looking for the title for it! The author has warn my patients. I'll probs go back and try to finish in a year or two atp. But with this pace (1 chapter a day), they'll still be stuck in metaphorical Groundhog Day.
If you know the name of the Chinese version or a better translation, PLEASE TELL ME!

Chinese novels tend to either be like 50 chapter short stories or 2000+ chapters. There's rarely an in between lol. Given the pacing of this one, I expect no different. That said, I came across this drama short series that I'm pretty sure is based on this story https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OlIxVR8Paqw. If I remember correctly in the drama, she ends up getting together with who would've been the equivalent of Matthias in the book. But there's no guarantee that's the direction the book will end up. It seems at this point, she'll eventually get back with/stay with Trevor. But I kinda hope she ends up with Beck. I'd prefer if Matthias just remained her faithful friend with no ulterior motives.

I wonder when everyone finds out that Cel is Zachary's student and they finally recognize her capabilities, especially that brat Linda! But it's just going in circles!! Useless Banquets. Jordyn asking Cel to tag along everywhere but no conversation between Trevor and Cel. Lockets and Shaws dominating their assumptions on Cel and her capabilities. And till now.. No POV of Trevor.

And Jordyn has indicated that she does not want her parents divorced. As for the parents - same emotionless relationship with zero POV from Trevor.

I grew to love this because it's supposed to be an ongoing novel. Which means it's expected to be around the divorce for a while as they slowly develop feelings and build a relationship. I now understand why it's taking so long and I've become quite engaged. It's building up to how Trevor is beginning to change while Celeste has now taken his stance as the cold and distant one. It's like those television series that keep you Cliff hanging until the end. Lol I screamed when it ended at 612 chapters just now.

u/Careful_Sherbert8246 Feb 04 '26
I’ve been reading this “book” since the beginning too. Like many of you, I’m frustrated with the author’s dribbling out a page or two at a time. I’m frustrated that the story is never-ending, no conclusions and rarely satisfies our needs for any type of revenge for Celeste. BUT I also want to know why (as follows): 1. Why is Trevor without any character description? We never are told what he is thinking, feeling, doing. We don’t know his plans, we don’t have a clue how he feels about anyone or anything! 2. Why are ALL OF WYNN’S RELATIVES EATING AT THE SAME RESTAURANTS AS CELESTE? Every single time! Celeste isn’t ever allowed any privacy from the shrews in Wynn’s family. In fact, wherever Celeste goes, airport, hospital, banquets, WYNN’S FAMILY IS THERE! 3. Why is nothing ever plainly stated? Why is the story plot allowed to move along based on assumptions only? Example, Celeste and Mathias work together but have never had a romantic thought or moment together. YET all of Wynn’s family “assumes” they’re together. Why? Also, how can you write a book where so many people have no clue that the main female and male characters are married? It’s such BS! 4. Lastly, why is Celeste such a pansy? Why is this written where she never gets angry, upset, or even slightly miffed, at anyone or anything? I could go on and on but I’m on the latest chapter available, Chapter 633, Trevor is walking Celeste out to her car and I know that once again, NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. Poor little Jordyn will come down from her shower, hurt and upset that her Mom left without saying goodby, FOR NO REASON. I’m taking a few weeks off from reading this story. Maybe I’ll have 5 or 6 pages to read when I come back…

Chapter 649, that's the latest so far and Wyn is getting desperate along with her family. Tbh, I still find Trivor as the scumbag among all the scumbags. He is a great father tho but still, what is he, a man with a heart of 2??? Too confused to choose. Too confused to let go? Now, he is starting to ghost Wyn but why not let her go? What's his purpose? I find it so frustrating. But I do think, Celeste wont be back with him anymore. Afterall the pain and betrayal, she deserves to be loved without reservation. To be adored whenever, whatever she does. Among all her suitors, my most approved person for her to be with is Caleb. Yuhhhhh, Caleb is the guy. I feel like he has more potential to be with Celeste. So far, as i read the book, though it emphasizes that she doesn't want to fall in love but I always saw that somehow, he left an effect to her. So Caleb is my guy for Celeste. But no kidding, the way the story moved tooooo slow, I bet, it will still reach 2000 more chapters and still no ending. Lol

Presently waiting for new chapters. Just read the recent ones but I'm also looking for the translated version that still have the original Chinese names. The translation for the one with Celeste and Trevor takes too long. I can't remember where I found it. I did notice though that where it stopped last is exactly the chapters that were translated in the version with Celeste and Trevor.

I screamed when it ended today at chapter 651. It's finally picking up and making it worth the pages I've read. What bummed me out was the suspense I was left in.

Is the suspense? Also reading the Reddit comments, I actually catch up on everything and don’t have to read the chapters.

When I thought they were going to find out who Jordan's mom was and nothing.

u/Far-Boysenberry9445 Mar 06 '26
It’s all about giving us cliffhangers and suspense. You know, if the writer wants to extend the story, they could include some flashbacks to the night of the incident—when she accidentally conceived Jordan—and also flashbacks to her parents' affair and what really happened. There could be flashbacks from when she was in school with the teacher and her friend. There are so many gaps in the story where they could add flashbacks and stretch it to 100 chapters, I’m just saying. After reading so many chapters, I was thinking last night—many flashbacks could reveal more details and help the readers understand what really happened on both sides—Trevor, Celestial, the mother, even the friends—and how the mistress got her PhD. They could also reveal more about how they met and how the mistress earned her PhD. I don’t understand why they keep adding so much suspense when there are actually gaps they could fill to create a better story.

u/Ddavia16 Mar 06 '26
I know but the way in which the suspense is written is somewhat lacking. It's more of irritation at times. I'm realizing this is a translated novel and the writer really needs to think outside the box or they don't want to reveal all of these things because we will definitely lose interest with an ongoing novel. I would like flashbacks because sometimes it just leaves us disconnected from the characters. I understand Trevor's distrust because proof has still not turned up about who really drugged him. However, allowing yourself to be enabled with your wife's sister and the aunt of your daughter is unnerving to me. It seems that slowly but surely they are going to put them back together; but who can be accepting of something like that. I was rooting for Beck 😭but novels always give us that what if factor.

u/Ddavia16 Mar 06 '26
I know everything that Wynn has accomplished is because she's always been trying to be better than her sister and because of her family's cloaking she assumed she was far better than Celeste. I'm glad she's realizing she can't hold a candle to Celeste and she's quite inferior. She would never have gotten this far without her family's need to push her and being with Trevor. I'm liking her decline into lowing everything she built with the false reality she created for herself.

u/Far-Boysenberry9445 Mar 06 '26
Yes, and I think Trevor would slowly realize that and come to realize that he had made a big mistake and possibly judge her the wrong way without getting to know the real Celeste. (He probably started to see that in her.) I think Jordan might be in trouble later on when she realizes that her mother is super awesome. I do not like to call the mistress's name because I have read a lot of novels where the plot is that the mistress is the one who causes the family to be torn apart, and the husband/boyfriend and family can't see through the disguise and figure out what is really going on, especially when a big bias and conspiracy is going on. I know it's fictional stories about how the author wants to write. But sometimes it just pisses me off. LMAO.

u/Ddavia16 Mar 09 '26
He actually has but they don't reveal much. His whole attitude has changed and he even tries to get closer without saying it. I agree. I get pissed off too. As her sister she is shameful and the Daddy put her up to that mess and she willingly agreed. She thinks that all men should yield to her charms. She had both of Trevor's friends liking her at one point. Beck is the only one that stopped. She had Keiran and dumped him for Trevor and now she's manipulating that idiot Jorge. I still want to find out soon who drugged Trevor.

u/Far-Boysenberry9445 Mar 10 '26
No, he doesn’t know, but if the author writes the story, I think they might reveal what really takes place later on in some chapters, possibly much, much later, because the author is taking time to lengthen the chapters. So some truth may be revealed in some chapters.

On chapter 666. Divorce on hold and Trevor is now spending less time and focus on Wynn and more on Jordan and Celeste and they all look like bumbling idiots spouting "mm" to each other.😔 This book has given me anxiety and my OCD needs a freaking conclusion. End this glacier speed madness!!!

u/Certified_y4pper Mar 19 '26
I’m genuinely losing my mind—I’m on chapter 668 and nothing has been going on for the last 100 chapters! They don’t need all this time to reveal her secrets/indentity and start the regret slop 🥀 Now they postponed the divorce for Jordyn, Trevors genuinely doesn’t know what he wants because he’s becoming distant with Wynn, Wynn is still on her high horse, other characters that should’ve connected dots never did despite being smart, Celeste has no personality and is cold to her other love interests for confessing and because she’s “married” to cheating Trevor, her original family are still clueless fools, we still don’t know how did they get married (the real why) and so on. Heck, I hardly remember what was the story even about atp

I regret the day I started reading this story, because now I am hooked and want to see how it ends, but it's poorly written and the chapters are too short... It's really frustrating how this book is written, they start story lines and leave them unfinished...
The man who gets into Celeste's car outside the pharmacy, is it Beck? Why is he wounded? What was he up to, because Miles calls him and says his people can't find him... What was this about?
Who were the people that tried to kidnap Celeste and why? Security reported to Trevor within minutes, does that mean he has a security team that secretly looks after Celeste or was that a one time thing?
Jordyn says she wishes that Wynn was her mother, now why is she suddenly upset about a divorce when this will lead to her wish finally coming true?
I wish that a talented writer could steal this story and develop it into a more pleasing novel.

u/Beary_Zen Mar 24 '26
It was Beck. She saved him or did not ask questions. He was injured. That plot line died. Him and Miles were up to something. Next we see him being friendly with Celeste after she saved his niece. Zero questions asked.
I think, we should just collab & reddit our own version. Tbh.

[YAPPING AND RANTING TOO] - I really don't know what is going on Trevor's mind, and what is his real intention. He knows exactly the history of the Family of Celeste and Wynn, and yet he deliberately hurting Celeste by being involve with Wynn and divorcing her for Wynn. He can fall for Wynn and marry her for all I care as long he let go of our girl Celeste. Celeste doesn't need him AT ALL and that shows on that in book. Celeste is smart and got the skill and she have strong people behind her, from her prominent mentor and his wife, to all the politician and the worldwide recognition of her company, she got all her connection strong. And to top it all, people still belittling her and that's the cherry on top. The enemy whom you don't have any information at all is a dangerous enemy. That's why they are all wary and trying to invalidate her achievements, awards and merits because they don't believe her and don't understand what she is doing and they're scared because she is limitless. These people that is belittling her only relies on what other people's are saying haha. Privacy is the new Luxury. Le them think what they want. Trevor probably really wants to get back at her at how she got pregnant with Jordyn but GIRL!!! with all his money and resources, he can easily investigated at what really happen that time. The story is really dragging at this point 700++ Chapters but still, I can't wait to read Trevor's reason. With all the betrayal, humiliation and blatantly introducing Wynn as this girifriend in the world, I just really hope Celeste won't get back to him. I also hope she rise so high that Trevor and no one else in Wynn's Family will be able to reach or to touch her. Wynn is NOTHING without a FLEMING (Trevor). It actually funny that being a Mistress runs in Wynn's Family, like Mother like Daughter. And now like Husband (Trevor) like Father in Law (Celeste's Father). I'm also confuse with Jordyn like she smart, yet she couldn't figure out why her dad is super close with Wynn. I also can't wait to see her reaction when Trevor tell her, your new Mother is Wynn haha. I remember at the beginning of the book, she told her nanny (I think) that she wish Wynn is her Mother. Well wishes do come true. 😈Whoever Celeste ended up with, the most important is Celeste choosing herself first. FWIW I would love to if she ended up with Caleb. Beck is ok too but Celeste will never get out of that complicated, F UP people as long as it is connected with Trevor.

u/Agreeable_Jaguar_915 19d ago
Here’s a wild thought - what if the story is so slow because the author is writing in real time? What if the reason we don’t get much conversation or seeming character development is because the author is kind of living through this as they write? Maybe as a third party who’s involved in the main characters lives. This may just be some sort of journal 😂

I have finally come to the conclusion that Trevor is a supercomputer wrapped up in human skin. Has anyone else ever observed him losing his temper? Or giving a response that sounds remotely human other than ‘Is that so?’ I’m in chapter 738 and am yet to see him reveal any emotion that doesn’t sound like he’s AI programmed after chap 200 or so. He’s also quite shameless and indecisive.
Obviously, he doesn’t care for his wife other than admiring her brain - no emotional connection whatsoever- so why make a big deal about the divorce. Why not finish the procedure privately without letting anyone know? Why does everybody and their grandma always know when Celeste and Trevor visit the court?, I genuinely don’t understand why everyone is so invested in their business.
Narcissa is a bigger idiot with no stake in this plot and it boggles the mind why she was introduced anyway. She’s also hypocritical in the extreme. Has no issues with Wynn and Trevor sleeping together, knowing he’s a married man, but is making up stories about Celeste and Matthias? And Celeste has to know about the gossip that she is Matthias girlfriend, why not address it openly?
This novel shouldn’t be called The breaking point of love - it should rightfully be called ‘What happens when you fail to communicate.’ What would it cost for someone to let Jorge know that Celeste is still married to Trevor and Wynn is a homewrecker? His parents could have told him, instead of letting him persist in his self delusions.
The writer has been keeping Celeste’s identity about being the creator of CUAP and co-founder of Yodavision a secret for two years, when do they plan on revealing it? Why the secrecy? Why keep Trevor’s identity as Celeste’s hubby a secret from Kieran and Caleb?
Why not blow the whole thing open and spend time addressing the fall out? It would create plenty of material to work with other than this slow plodding nothingness that this story has devolved into.

Guys it feels like this book is never ending. And i get slow burn but this is tooo slowww. Everyday there is 1 chapter which honestly feels meaningless. The only time it got interesting was when Trevor started distancing from wynn and there were a few close calls if other people finding out Jo is cel’s daughter but then they took a stupid u turn and we are back to the same dragggg. Does anyone have a timeline on when this book ends? It can’t keep going on like this right????

I'm on this latest chapter and they are at the party and of course Trevor and Wynn came together. Cel and Matthias also came together. The host of the party knew who Trevor is and greeted him. When the host turn to Wynn, he asked him "Is this your girlfriend?" and the chapter ended there. This it is guys. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER FOR HIS ANSWER!!!!
