Tempted by Resources, the Capital's Big Shot Calls Off Our Engagement to Marry Me

[Entertainment industry + contract relationship + groveling pursuit + heroine with more than one love interest, avoid if that bothers you + male leads are all tools] Chu Xia, a barely-known actress, was nearly blacklisted by her company. With nowhere else to turn, she approached the head of the Li Group. Their relationship began with a steamy transaction: one wanted money, the other wanted sex. Li Huaizhou was a famously untouchable figure in Beijing’s elite circles. He treated everyone else coldly, and though he acted disgusted by Chu Xia’s advances, as if to say, “Don’t come near me,” he couldn’t get enough of her in bed. He gave her plenty of opportunities, but Chu Xia knew exactly what they were: they each got what they wanted. If he treated her this way today, he’d treat another woman the same way tomorrow. After Li Huaizhou got engaged, Chu Xia left. Later, when rumors linked her to his nemesis, he went mad and declared his love for her to the entire internet. The cold man pinned her against the wall. “Xiaxia, marry me!”
