Where Can a Humble, Delicate Wife Run?

The word “hard-up” has a deeper meaning here!!

[Top-tier tycoon CEO × bona fide wage slave]

[Married first, in love later + laugh-out-loud sweet romance + power couple]

The CEO of the Xia Group suddenly goes off the rails and offers a reward to the whole internet: “Find me the most hard-up woman. I'm going to marry her.”

Chi En is just crouching outside her company, picking up scattered paperwork, when her ruthless boss stamps her as “the most hard-up person in the entire company” and bundles her into the CEO's luxury car.

“Help! I'm just poor! I'm not some rare species!”

Xia Yi'an leans against the car, a smile tugging at his lips, one only he understands.

“Hard-up enough. I like it.”

No one knows that the “hard-up” woman this tycoon is talking about is actually the secret code he's been searching for for more than a decade.

The little girl from the alley, who once gave him half a tough, dry steamed bun and wore patched trousers, has finally been found.

Only after their wedding does Chi En discover that her CEO husband's obsession with “hard-up” is a master class in double standards:

She can't bring herself to buy a twenty-yuan milk tea, so he opens a milk tea shop right outside the office.

She crouches by the roadside eating instant noodles, so he turns around and buys up the entire snack street, telling her to pick whatever she wants.

Then one day, she finds an old handkerchief with patches, tucked at the very bottom of a drawer. Only then does Chi En realize:

This search that swept the internet had been for her all along.
