[Down-on-her-luck heiress x people from all walks of life + two powerful leads + long-planned romance + marriage before love]
The most solid relationship in the world is between a con artist and a fool.
“I don’t make losing deals. Sign here and marry me.”
Facing her father’s serious illness, her family’s bankruptcy, and her fiancé’s conspiracy with outsiders, Su Manqing accepted the fountain pen offered by the man who struck fear into everyone’s heart.
Once the brilliant and promising eldest daughter of the Su family, she became the “gang boss’s wife” of Kowloon Walled City.
She thought she’d fallen into a den of wolves, but this wolf... was a little different?
He remembered she didn’t eat scallions. He took her to eat the best wonton noodles in all of Hong Kong Island and picked out every last scallion.
When she was humiliated, he showed up and smashed a liquor bottle over the other person’s head.
When she wanted revenge, he handed her a knife and brought hundreds of his men to back her up, helping her take back the docks.
Later, Su Manqing trampled the scumbag underfoot and reclaimed everything that belonged to the Su family.
She asked the man sitting at a roadside stall eating fish balls, “Mr. Chen, what do you want?”
Chen Jiu undid two buttons of his shirt, revealing a string of agarwood Buddhist beads on his wrist. With a roguish grin, he said,
“How about you call me ‘hubby’?”
A little angst, a few twists, an older male lead, and both leads untouched by others!
