A Working Girl Marries a Rich Man and Reaches the Pinnacle of Life

Lou Jia and Yan Cheng first met over a staged accident and a 666-yuan fee for being kept.

The System, a marry-Sue romance author trying to innovate after institutional reform, came looking for Lou Jia, a young person with nothing to their name. Lou Jia agreed to play the female lead out of a deep love of money. She imagined all sorts of things, but clearly not enough.

System: Quick, hold him close, kiss his forehead, and announce to everyone: "Yan Cheng is my man, and I won't let anyone hurt him!"

Lou Jia, surrounded by people: ...Do I really have to say that?

System: No shouting, no money for you.

Lou Jia: Whoever dares lay a hand on my man, Lou Jia, will regret it!

System: Oh! You two accidentally kissed. Come on, say that line!

Lou Jia: ...Do I really have to say it?

System: Your money is saying hello.

Lou Jia: ...You really are ridiculously sweet, you know that?

2. Lou Jia became more and more adept at playing her role, and the story steadily progressed. Just when she thought everything was going smoothly, she realized something was off about the male lead, Yan Cheng.

At first, when she told Yan Cheng to say, "You're my heart, my liver, my precious little sweetie," he struggled to get the words out, turning red from head to neck and feeling completely unwilling.

But after enough repetitions, the look in Yan Cheng's eyes grew more and more tender.

He got used to calling her his girlfriend. He'd ask for hugs the moment he opened his mouth, and spent every day snuggling against her and acting cute.

On the day of the finale's wedding, Lou Jia got her money, and the System got the novel it had always wanted.

One day after they were married, Lou Jia came home from work and saw Yan Cheng cooking in the kitchen wearing nothing but an apron. She was quiet for a moment, then asked, "It's about time, isn't it? Should we get divorced?"

Two streams of tears rolled down Yan Cheng's face. "Why doesn't my wife want me anymore?"
