Who Are The Main Characters In CEO'S Regret After I Divorced?

Let me walk you through the major players in 'CEO's Regret After I Divorced' — the cast that actually makes the emotional gears grind. The heart of the story is the divorced couple: the male lead, a high-powered CEO whose name is presented as Li Zhen (translations vary), and the female lead, often called Chen Wei in some versions. He’s the classic icy, meticulously controlled executive who realizes too late what he lost; she’s the quietly strong, principled woman who chooses dignity over desperation. Their relationship arc—cold indifference, painful separation, and the slow, regretful thaw—anchors the whole plot.

Beyond them, the novel usually highlights a handful of important supporting figures. There’s the child (often their daughter, named Xiao Rou or similar in translations), whose presence complicates custody and tenderness; the CEO’s loyal secretary or right-hand, the pragmatic sidekick who knows corporate secrets and human soft spots; a rival executive or scheming ex who adds workplace drama; and a best friend for the heroine who provides emotional scaffolding and occasional comic relief. Family members, especially the CEO’s mother, also play big roles in matchmaking pressure and social expectations. I love how these secondary characters aren’t just background—they push decisions, expose vulnerabilities, and create believable obstacles.

If you like emotionally driven romance where professional power clashes with private regret, these central figures deliver. I always end up rooting for the heroine’s quiet strength and feeling oddly sympathetic for the CEO’s slow wake-up call.
