[Gentle, sweet girlfriend VS down-on-his-luck, devoted young master]
[Both have only ever loved each other + sweet romance + plenty of sugar]
Lin Xinyu opens her eyes and finds she’s become the male lead’s wicked girlfriend.
In the original story, she squanders all his family’s money, calls him useless, poor, and spineless, and says he looks like an old man.
She even sells everything he owns, leaving him with only one set of clothes to wear each day.
She might as well have sold him, too.
Only later does she learn he’s the young master of a powerful family in Beijing, who grew up away from home.
She makes him work eight jobs in a day. When his health gives out and he takes to his bed, she turns and walks away, taking the last fifty yuan he has.
After his family takes him back, the young master gains power and influence. The first thing he does is send his wicked girlfriend to clean toilets.
Lin Xinyu doesn’t want to spend the rest of her life cleaning toilets.
So she diligently stays by his side, caring for him, encouraging him, and keeping him company.
-
When the young master has no money, she stays up all night making crafts to earn some for him.
When he wants something to eat, she thoughtfully cooks it and brings it to him.
When he cuts his finger, she gently blows on it again and again, determined to keep going even when she gets lightheaded.
He never once minded her scolding or hitting him, but she knows she can’t simply take this love for granted.

Later, the heroine appears, and she sensibly packs her bags, ready to step aside for her.
But he steps forward and pins her against the wall. “You still haven’t paid me back. Where do you think you’re going?”
Before she can answer, he pulls her into his arms.
“I hurt my hand again. Blow on it for me.”
“...”
That sounds pretty suspicious, but I have no proof.
