To lie flat, I used my rival, the campus heartthrob, then ran off abroad.
Three years later, a family crisis and a marriage contract dragged me back in front of him.
Everyone in Shanghai knows Chu Nanzhi as a lazy good-for-nothing who married into a rich family to climb the ladder.
But no one knows that one casual investment from her could buy half of the Zheng Group.
On our wedding night, Zheng Xuyan sneered and tossed down an agreement. "We'll divorce in three years. Whoever falls in love loses."
She signed happily, committed to slacking off to the very end.
He was ruthless in business, while she lounged around watching shows in their mansion. Everyone waited for President Zheng to divorce his wife.
Until the group faced a crisis and he witnessed her casually answer a call from a top financier begging for help;
The merger deal she commented on offhandedly concealed a fatal loophole that could bankrupt their rival.
Zheng Xuyan cornered her against the wall, storms raging in his eyes. "What else are you hiding from me?"
She blinked innocently. "President Zheng, clause three of the agreement says we won't interfere in each other's private lives."
When a woman who looked just like her appeared as her replacement, he crushed every bit of her sincerity:
"She's a poor imitation. She isn't as stubborn as you."
It wasn't until she left with her suitcase that he dug beneath the wutong tree at the old family home and found the yellowed diary page:
"With a gun pointed at his head, I had no choice."
On a stormy night, he fell to his knees, pride in tatters, eyes red as he begged her to come back.
She only smiled faintly, pulled open her collar, and revealed the bullet wound below her collarbone.
"Zheng Xuyan, do you still think the bullet I took for you was just a ploy to win your sympathy?"
This time, the lazy fish isn't putting up with him anymore.

The male protagonist is verbally and physically upright, but he is obviously loyal to the female protagonist. He is good-looking and looks forward to the follow-up development.
It's great, I listened to the book all the way through
