My Villainous Husband Is Loaded, So Why Should I Run?

Lin Mianmian is standing at the crossroads where she’s supposed to elope, a small suitcase in hand, when a sudden realization makes her mind go blank.

Wait a minute!

Does this mean she’s living inside a period novel?

Is she the wicked ex-wife who looks down on the poor, abandons her husband and child, then gets swindled out of her money and virtue before dying miserably on the street?

And her husband, Qin Lie, whom she despises for being uneducated and scary-looking, will one day become the wealthiest man in the provincial capital?

Even worse, the novel’s pure and innocent heroine is waiting for her to make way so she can claim Lin Mianmian’s rich husband!

Lin Mianmian looks at the elopement money in her hand, barely enough to buy a standing-room-only train ticket, then at the stacks of large-denomination bills in the family safe.

She turns around and gives her former self a hard slap: Run? Run my foot!

Can a pretty boy put food on the table?

Qin Lie may look scary, but he’s rich! And he’s got stamina too. Ahem, I mean, he knows how to treat a woman!

She looks at the man covered in coal dust, his gaze brooding, only to become utterly flustered the moment he sees her.

Lin Mianmian kicks off her high heels and throws herself into his arms, all sweetness and charm. “Honey, it’s so windy outside. I’m cold~”

Qin Lie freezes, his Adam’s apple bobbing. “...Just tell me how much money you want.”

Lin Mianmian: “Talking about money ruins the mood. How about we talk about making a baby?”
