Synopsis

[A wealthy heroine who loves money + a hapless hero who keeps losing it + comedic face-slapping + secret identities + sweet on the outside, ruthless within + comedy]

I’m great at loving money and good looks. How about giving me some cash?

Bai Zhen is the most well-behaved girl in J City, but unfortunately, she married the most notorious playboy in the Fu family, the crown prince of J City. Ask her what she wants most, and the answer is, of course, money, money, money!

Life comes down to two things: making money!

Rumor has it Bai Zhen is sweet and lovely, beautiful and kindhearted. But why did no one tell hapless Fu Shiyu that his little money-gobbling monster could scale walls and leap across rooftops, or even feel his arm until it broke?

When Fu Shiyu found out Bai Zhen had caused his injuries, he nearly dropped to his knees and bowed to his own little money-gobbling monster. She’d been hiding her true abilities all along!

Fu Shiyu is J City’s number-one playboy. He’s carefree and spends every day figuring out how to blow his money. After meeting Bai Zhen, he starts figuring out how to save it, because his little money-gobbling monster swallows up far too much.

But he never expected anyone else to set their sights on his money-gobbling monster!

The little money-gobbling monster is quite considerate, too: “Don’t worry, I only like you… and your money.” After all, the Fu family is the richest in all of J City.

Fu Shiyu gives himself a pep talk: “My wife just likes money, that’s all. It’s fine, my family has plenty.”

“Do you even hear yourself? Do you know who she is?”

Just one of her many secret identities could make the entire financial world drop its jaw.

When the couple brings out their full identities and starts battling, the world seems to fall silent, and the air fills with awkwardness.

How many secret identities do you have that I don’t know about?

It's great! (♥∀♥) The male and female leads both have dual identities, so exciting! They're both incredibly intelligent. There's too little romance; I want more sweet moments. I also want a more dramatic and engaging storyline. Keep up the good work, author!

A blinding light flooded her eyes, and the entire world transformed from utter darkness into dazzling light. "Mountain birds and fish do not travel the same path, and from now on, we will never meet again." In the end, the doves no longer perched on the church, and the birds were no longer confined to their cages. We rushed toward the light, pursuing our ideals and embracing our own desires.

The outline is actually quite good, but the author's logic is a bit off in some places, and some parts lack detail. Overall, it's enjoyable but also a little strange. Good luck, author! 💪

May we have years to look back on, and may we grow old together with deep affection. May we have years to look back on, and grow old together with deep affection.

I've read a few books before, but they were all pretty mundane and lacked any highlights. However, this book is excellent. The characters are very distinct and easy to follow. For example, Bai Zhen is incredibly energetic and has a strong personality. She's fiercely vengeful when she's with the Tibetan Mastiff, and Miss Bai is also adept at disguise. It's really good! Highly recommended!

Since no one understands, what's wrong with being lonely? A suitable relationship never requires any effort to please!

It's hilarious and fun. The male lead's sister's courage to let go is truly admirable; many people should forgive themselves like that.
