Where Can the Butterfly Run?

Spoiled Butterfly x Scheming Husband (1v1, both pure)

Marriage first, love later ➕ Long-planned scheme ➕ Sweet, flirtatious Shanghai romance

Yi Siling was a once-in-a-century beauty among Shanghai's socialites. Born into privilege, with a real estate tycoon for a father, she had been pampered from the day she was born.

She thought she could live like that forever.

All she had to do was dress up and look pretty, then, when she was old enough, find a handsome young man she liked, marry him, have children, and spend the rest of her life in wealth.

But to her surprise, her family went bankrupt...

And worse still

Her father ran off with his mistress and all their money without a word.

He left her with a company on the verge of collapse, relatives who had seized their house, a brother framed and thrown in prison, and a mother who fell ill overnight.

And debts she could never repay...

The princess was forced down from her lofty perch to experience the hardships of life.

With nowhere else to turn, Yi Siling went to Zhou Xu, Shanghai's king of cash flow, and sincerely asked him for a loan.

Zhou Xu only smiled. He didn't even ask how much she needed. “Yi Siling, I can give you the money outright. You don't have to pay me back.”

He had plenty of money.

“But I want a person.” The man's cold eyes narrowed slightly, his smile brimming with certainty. “I want you.”

Yi Siling's pride flared, and she refused him outright.

At that moment, the princess felt even the wind passing by her carried a sense of pride...

Later

Looking at the marriage certificate, Yi Siling, whose pride had lasted all of one day, glared at him with her lovely eyes. “Zhou Xu, you're picking on me.”

The handsome, refined man sat in the driver's seat, his slender, pale hand resting casually outside the window as he smiled at her. “Yi Siling, I'm not picking on you.”

“Someone else would.”
