Using My Talent for Reading People to Reel In the Restraint-Freak Tycoon

Gu Qianmian takes her cousin Zhen Xinyan’s place and marries Duan Weishen, a celibate tycoon rumored to suffer from a hidden ailment. On their wedding night, she presents him with three addenda to their prenuptial agreement: Plan A, live separate lives; Plan B, work together for mutual benefit; Plan C, take the money and leave. Duan Weishen is silent for ten seconds, then chooses Plan B. After the wedding, Gu Qianmian’s ability to read people becomes the Duan family’s ultimate cheat code. When her stepmother comes demanding money, Gu exposes her on the spot: “The sob story is fake. She really wants to get a dowry for her own daughter.” When an assistant secretly colludes with their enemies, Gu spots the mole by reading the tiniest facial expressions. Even when the Duan relatives gang up to make things difficult, she can tell at a glance who’s truly malicious and who’s just following the crowd. Duan Weishen goes from thinking, “This woman is kind of interesting,” to wondering, “Who is this woman, really?” Then he’s completely baffled when he realizes that Gu Qianmian can see through everyone but him. Every time she studies him, she has to hold back a laugh. Until one day, Zhen Xinyan shows up at the Duan home with a suitcase. “Sis, I had a fight with Mom, so I’m coming to stay with you!” Gu Qianmian rubs her forehead. Duan Weishen falls silent. Zhen Xinyan blinks at him. “Brother-in-law, do you have feelings for my sister or not? If you don’t, I can introduce her to someone better, ” Duan Weishen’s face darkens. Gu Qianmian grins. Later, just when everyone thinks Duan Weishen is about to win Gu Qianmian over, she hands him a divorce agreement at the moment he’s fallen hardest for her. “Mr. Duan, our partnership has run its course. It’s time to call it quits.” Duan Weishen stares at the signature on the agreement and remembers her saying on their wedding night, “I’m not interested in you.” At last, he understands She really isn’t interested in him. What she’s always been interested in is the resources and connections at his disposal, and… watching him get put in his place.
