Shi Miao had three principles in life: make money, make money, and make more money. Throughout her four years at university, she juggled five part-time jobs, from tutoring and gaming companionship to copywriting. She was good at them all. The boys at school lined up to confess to her? Sorry, that would get in the way of making money. Then one day, she landed a mysterious job with a generous paycheck: date Song Jingran, the heir to a wealthy family in Haishi, for a set period of time. The man had god-tier looks, an elite family background, and a cold, arrogant personality. He was the ultimate bad boy. Shi Miao rolled up her sleeves. For the money, she was all in! Under the cover of being her wealthy best friend’s confidante, she launched an online “seduction campaign.” She went from being called a “toad lusting after a swan” to getting him to send selfies unprompted, from trading barbs every time they spoke to receiving instant replies late at night… Shi Miao thought she was only putting on an act, never realizing that the man had already fallen for her for real.
