[Gold-digging campus beauty × rough construction worker]
Song Zhixia transmigrates into a book and becomes the wicked, materialistic ex-wife who exploits the rough male lead, the first love he can never forget.
The original owner spends all day complaining that Shen Du is covered in cement and comes from a poor family. She treats him like an ATM and pushes the long-suffering young man to a villainous score of 69.
The System sounds the alarm nonstop. Song Zhixia doesn't dare slack off, and resolves to make things right and cling to the thigh of the future tycoon worth hundreds of billions.
Shen Du feels inferior and fears she'll think he's dirty, so he deliberately keeps his distance and avoids her. She goes right up to him and snuggles close to keep warm;
When Shen Du risks everything to fight in underground boxing matches for money, she races after him with hot food, chasing him to the construction site and the ring to deliver meals.
The once-cold, gold-digging campus beauty now has eyes only for him.
The construction workers are flabbergasted, unable to make sense of the change.
Shen Du is wary, his eyes full of suspicion. “What are you trying to scheme against me this time?”
Song Zhixia smiles and leans closer. “I just want to trick you into giving me one kiss.”
Years later, Shen Du reaches the top of the capital's elite circles, with a net worth in the hundreds of billions.
Everyone in their circle knows the story: during Lord Shen's hardest days, they squeezed into a tiny rental and put up with a broken electric fan. His wife stayed by his side through it all, and every last bit of the first money he earned from underground boxing went straight to her, with not a penny kept back.
