To get a huge bride price, Sheng Tang’s greedy uncle wants to marry her off to an abusive man who beat his wife to death.
To escape that fate, she decides to have a whirlwind wedding. Her groom is Song Yanli, a programmer she’s met a few times. After they get married, they live like roommates, each keeping to themselves.
After a while, she starts noticing something odd:
Her husband, who supposedly comes from an ordinary family, rides around in a Maybach...
He wears limited-edition designer clothes...
He attends elite financial summits packed with powerful figures...
And her own quality of life keeps shooting up.
Much later, she discovers that her husband isn’t a programmer at all. He’s the head of the Song conglomerate, unimaginably wealthy and immensely powerful. The wedding gift he’d called a cheap street-market trinket is actually an heirloom passed down by the matriarch of the Song family, worth hundreds of millions.
Sheng Tang is stunned.
She asks, “Why didn’t you tell me who you really are?”
Song Yanli replies, “You said men turn into jerks when they have money.”
Sheng Tang: “...”
So that’s why you kept it secret?!
