The night the Su family went bankrupt, Li Yichen, Su Wanqing's childhood sweetheart, apologized over the phone. Su Wanqing turned around and signed a marriage contract with Gu Yuanxiu: he would pay off her father's debts, and she would be his wife in name only.
Over the course of their yearlong marriage, he fell deeper and deeper, while she kept up appearances.
Once the loan sharks had been paid off, Su Wanqing fled to America with her whole family.
Two years later, at a Wall Street gala, Su Wanqing swirled her glass of red wine and smiled at Gu Yuanxiu. “Mr. Gu, I've paid back every cent of the debt, with interest.”
Gu Yuanxiu caught her by the wrist. “You got the interest wrong. You still owe me five years of love.”
