The night I went to a banquet in someone else’s place, Gu Chengze, the richest man in the country, dragged me to the Civil Affairs Bureau and married me on the spot.
It was all because my face looked exactly like the beauty in an ancient painting in his private collection.
He tossed me a black card. “Two million a month. Don’t go out and embarrass me.”
I pretended to obey, secretly stockpiling gold bars and studying novel tropes, waiting until I’d saved enough money to run away.
Then, when I was pregnant with our second child, the doctor cried out, “It’s quintuplets!”
The Gu family was ecstatic and insisted I give birth to them all. I put a hand on my belly and threw down an agreement in front of everyone:
“Six children. I want 60% of Gu Corporation’s shares, twelve houses, and thirty storefronts!”
The room fell silent. Gritting his teeth, he signed. “Fine! But you still have to do one more thing.”
Later, at the quintuplets’ blessing banquet, the whole family fought over the right to name them.
I held up a baby. “Highest bidder wins. Each name costs five hundred million!”
Everyone froze. He pulled me into his arms and chuckled.
“Mrs. Gu, you’re so good at making money. How about earning the remaining 40% of the shares, too?”
Only then did everyone realize that the foolish wife they’d mocked as a “bean sprout” had already taken control of half the Gu family.

@˙³˙ Very beautiful
It feels like this is the second time I've seen a story about a domineering urban man and a superficial rural woman (no derogatory meaning). Good. . .
