After Becoming the Wicked Wife, I Helped My Husband Reach the Top, Then Ran Away

[Slice of life / roommates in a rental apartment, then lovers / sweet romance / one-on-one / devoted couple]

Gu Shengxi worked in hotel customer service. After a guest's tirade left her seeing red, she transmigrated into a book as Si Yanbai's wicked wife. The original woman had drugged him and faked a pregnancy to marry him.

After the male lead went bankrupt, Gu Shengxi moved with him into a rental apartment, calling him a useless coward and a pauper. She also kept forcing Si Yanbai to go to bed. When he refused, she shoved him, and he hit his head and lost his memory.

The original woman lied to her amnesiac husband, saying she'd stayed with him despite his gambling debts and hadn't looked down on him, even paying the rent herself. The male lead felt guilty and grateful, and handed over his entire salary.

But the original woman was vain and lustful. She cheated on him with a muscular college boy, then the two of them drugged Si Yanbai and sold him to a brothel for men. They took the money and went abroad to live it up.

Si Yanbai met the haughty heiress heroine at the brothel. She bought him and helped him find his family. It turned out he was the young master of the richest Si family in the capital. Once the male lead regained his place at the top, he immediately took revenge on the original woman, selling her to the Golden Triangle to have her heart and kidneys harvested.

When Gu Shengxi first arrived, she saw the male lead with a bandage wrapped around his head, undoing his buttons. She clutched her forehead and trembled, deciding to keep up the original woman's act and lie to the big shot that they were a devoted couple who had weathered hardship together, while earning money to support the household.

To avoid meeting the original woman's tragic end, Gu Shengxi diligently played the good wife every day.

Money was tight at home, so Gu Shengxi took the hotel front desk and customer service jobs she hated most, while writing novels and drawing to earn money and support her husband.

Gu Shengxi only wanted to take advantage of the time before the big shot got his memory back to earn his affection, save up some money, and then run away.

She decided to let the male and female leads be together and make her escape. After she was caught and brought back, her husband pinned her roughly to the bed and kissed her. “Wife, you lied to me and still thought you could run?”

Gu Shengxi was stunned. “What about the haughty heiress? You don't want her anymore? You're not going back to inherit the Si family?”
