I Wished for Salvation, and the System Sent Me a CEO Boyfriend

Main characters: Song Ruomu, Jiang Dai

On the day she graduates from university, Gu Jichuan, the boy next door she has secretly loved for years, comes to ask for her hand in marriage.

Song Ruomu thinks it’s a wonderful surprise, only to learn that Gu Jichuan already has a three-year-old daughter.

At her mother and sister’s urging, the naturally quiet Song Ruomu agrees.

Then she accidentally overhears that Gu Jichuan’s daughter is actually her sister’s child. He only wants to marry her so she’ll take care of the girl and her sister can pursue her freedom.

Her family gives her two choices: marry for the family’s interests, or get out.

With nowhere else to turn, Song Ruomu chooses to leave and begs the gods for salvation. Just as she is about to end her life, she finds an abandoned puppy beside a trash can.

In the pouring rain, a black Rolls-Royce pulls over. Jiang Dai, head of the Banshan Group, nicknamed the “Cold Buddha of the Business World,” stops for the stray girl and dog.

“Tsk. Some people really don’t know to go home when it rains.”

0128 was a star employee of the System Administration Bureau, but its excessive arrogance earned it a punishment: being turned into an abandoned puppy.

Unable to speak or fend for itself, it could only wait to die.

Until a pair of warm hands lifted it up.

0128, which had never been bound to an ordinary person before, was stunned.

Before meeting Song Ruomu, Jiang Dai scoffed at love and marriage:

“Marriage is just sharing a bed while dreaming different dreams. You guard against each other and take what you need.”

After meeting Song Ruomu, Jiang Dai says:

“My wife is dreaming of a world I can’t reach. It’s terrifying.”
