Synopsis

CEO of a Wealthy Family | Overprotective Boss Lady vs. Green Tea Prince of Beijing | Older Woman-Younger Man Push and Pull | Girl Squad | Light and Sweet Romance

On her thirtieth birthday, Hua Jingyao awakens the Insight Eye System.

Her awful ex’s stats flash above his head: Net worth: -3.5 million. Syphilis carrier. Recommended action: destroy!

She splashes red wine in his face, then turns around and picks up a handsome young man crouched by the roadside eating a boxed meal.

The System scans him again: Net worth: ??? (Calculation failed... Suspected: extreme poverty / undocumented.)

Hua Jingyao is thrilled. Poor is good! Poor means obedient! A monthly salary of 20,000, meals and lodging included, and he can start as soon as they get their marriage certificate!

By day, he’s a delicate little puppy who can do nothing but cook, is afraid of the dark, and needs cuddles.

“Big Sis, I don’t have any money. This is all I can give you.” (It’s actually a priceless family heirloom ring.)

“Big Sis, this red wine is too tart. Let me mix in some Sprite.” (He’s ruining a bottle of Romanée-Conti worth hundreds of thousands.)

“Big Sis, I’m actually a little afraid of rich people.” (He’s pointing at the trust-fund kid he drove into bankruptcy.)

But in secret, he’s a tyrant who strikes terror into the hearts of Beijing’s elite.

“My wife frowned just now. It’s getting cold out. Make the Li family go bankrupt.”

Hua Jingyao thinks she’s a savior who brought a stray dog home.

Until one day she discovers that her year-end bonus wouldn’t even buy one wheel of her husband’s modified car.

Hua Jingyao: I just want to ask the System, did you take money from him?

System: [...Host, is it possible he’s so rich that he overloaded the data?]

Hua Jingyao: (╯°Д°)╯︵ ┻━┻

It's really good! The characters are very well-developed and have great personalities. I'm looking forward to the day the male lead's true identity is revealed! 😆😆😆 The female lead is also very cute. I love the group of best friends; will they get a romantic relationship later on? The female lead's assistant is also quite competitive. Looking forward to the later episodes!

At the beginning of the story, Ji Cangming's determination to be with Hua Jingyao seemed a bit inexplicable. In the middle, we were drawn to their equal and equally matched approaches to their careers. In the end, it turned out that it wasn't a case of falling in love at first sight and forgetting friends, but rather the joy of seeing a superwoman and reuniting with an old friend, and the determination to spend the rest of their lives together at first glance.

Five stars! It's absolutely amazing and incredibly captivating. The female lead is very capable in her career, but she always falters when she's with the male lead, which means she's already fallen in love with him! 😳🤭 Ji Cangming and Hua Jingyao are a perfect match. Ji Cangming only loves Hua Jingyao, and Hua Jingyao only dotes on Ji Cangming. 😢😢 It's so good!
