On the first day after Xu Tang was recognized as a rich man, he made a bet with the fake daughter Xu Qingqing: if Xu Qingqing robbed her of her things nine times, she would leave.
The first eight times, Xu Qingqing grabbed her school uniform, desk, and friends, but Xu Tang only regarded it as making things difficult. Until the ninth time, Xu Qingqing offered 2 million to her "poor student boyfriend" Fu Mingli to marry her, but Fu Mingli said in public: "I am marrying Xu Tang."
Xu Qingqing was so angry that she agreed to the Lu family's celebration, but Xu Tang saw the servant calling Fu Mingli "Master Fu" and heard him say coldly: "If I don't force Qingqing, how can she let you go?"
The truth exploded: Xu Qingqing robbed her school uniform because she was afraid of being humiliated at the banquet, robbed her desk to hide photos of the orphanage, and robbed her boyfriend because she wanted to force her to abandon her relationship so she could escape. Fu Mingli's "poverty" and "affectionate" are just protective colors to match the acting. What he really wants to protect is the fake daughter who wants to marry him and protect her freedom.
Holding the system panel of Fu Mingli's guide, Xu Tang asked her brother: "I'm going to hold a wedding for Xu Qingqing." She wanted the two sets of ancestral courtyard houses worth 1.6 Billion, and asked that everyone be hidden - she wanted to quietly transfer the ownership to Xu Qingqing as a thank you gift for her protection.
But this "protection" has long been entangled with secrets: Fu Mingli was originally a person the Lu family feared, Xu Qingqing hid the truth about her abandonment, and the system could actually see the tenderness beneath the "malice"...
When the wedding sedan arrived, Xu Tang touched the ring with the word "protect" that Fu Mingli had given him, and suddenly understood: this competition was never about fighting for status or love, but about people trapped in a wealthy family trying to leave each other a way to survive in clumsy ways.
What did she have to choose, was to turn around and leave, or take the hands of those who had "hurt" her and smash the cage?
