The day after she was forced to drug her employer, Yu Yao was cornered.
“Two choices.” Sitting on the edge of the bed, the man offered his advice with gentlemanly courtesy:
“Marry me.”
“Or go to prison.”
Yu Yao thought about it for three seconds before choosing marriage.
You can't go to work from prison. You can if you're married.
She assumed marriage would simply mean two victims teaming up to get by.
But after the wedding, she realized something wasn't quite right.
This powerful CEO picked her up and dropped her off at work every day, did her laundry, cooked for her, fed her cat, and showered her with money.
When she refused to spend it, he even got upset.
One day, Yu Yao watched the man brushing her hair and asked in confusion, “Have you... been secretly in love with me for a long time?”
The man sighed and pinched her cheek. “Oh, you're such a blockhead.”
Note: The setting is partly fictional, and the female lead occasionally encounters a System.
