The Nineties: I Wept as I Squandered Our Wealth, and My Villainous Husband Became a Tycoon

Jiang Nuo had just been scrubbing someone's back at the bathhouse when she slipped and fell into a book, becoming the contract wife of Qin Yan, a business tycoon in 1990s Hong Kong. The System ordered her to play a vicious supporting character who was “greedy for wealth and extravagant with money,” and to keep causing trouble until Qin Yan divorced her at knifepoint.

Looking at the heavy “brick” of a mobile phone in her hand and the Santana sedans filling the streets, Jiang Nuo carried out her mission with tears in her eyes.

Mission one: Blow through ten million of Qin Yan's liquid assets. Jiang Nuo shut her eyes and randomly bought a pile of unfinished buildings and barren hills no one wanted. (They were actually future development zones.)

Mission two: Make a scene when the big shot is discussing business. Jiang Nuo barged into the meeting room with a thermos and insisted on sitting in his lap to feed him. (Qin Yan: She's declaring her territory to my business rivals. She loves me so much.)

Jiang Nuo trembled. “Why hasn't he divorced me yet? I've spent all his money!”

Qin Yan slapped the documents for a company he'd just acquired onto the table. “Spent it all? Here's a factory I just bought. You can play with it. Don't say things you don't mean.”
