(A multi-heroine story. Tomato Novel's tags were added automatically, and the author can't change them.)
The day his mother was diagnosed with leukemia, Chen Yu's world came crashing down.
He set aside his pride and begged his fiancée to return the 300,000 yuan bride price that could save his mother's life. All he got in return was a cold, "Why should I?" and a clean breakup.
With nowhere else to turn, he stared at the 200,000 yuan debt he'd incurred to save his mother and remembered the cold legal term from the Civil Code: marital debt.
A crazy plan took shape in his mind: if he could marry some "sucker," could they split the debt in half?
So, at a class reunion, emboldened by alcohol, he half-jokingly asked Shen Qingge, the wealthy campus beauty who had dazzled everyone throughout their college years:
"How about... you pretend to marry me?"
He thought it was just a ridiculous drunken remark, a desperate man's delirious fantasy.
But Shen Qingge simply looked at him calmly, then gave a slight nod.
"Okay."
