Lu Fu, once a dignified Lotus Blossom Goddess, transmigrates into the disgraced “high-maintenance ex-wife” of Beijing society, freshly served with divorce papers after being given the cold shoulder by a tycoon's heir.
On the eve of her wedding, her reborn elder sister sobs and insists on stealing Lu Fu's ordinary office-worker blind date, trying to make her marry Gu Leiting instead: a man with paralyzed legs who is about to be left in a vegetative state after a car accident.
Lu Fu sees the prediction on her merit-and-gossip System: “The Gu family is richer than the nation; husband will be brain-dead starting today.” She cries prettily on the outside, but screams inside:
[What a deal! A trillion-yuan fortune with no one to manage it, a handsome husband lying in bed, and I get paid to stay home, gossip, and be a widow in all but name. Heaven has finally opened its eyes!]
What she doesn't know is that Gu Tingye, within a hundred meters of her, is watching her intently.
“Waiting for me to die? I'm afraid you'll be disappointed, madam.”
But later, with the Gu family surrounded by crises, Lu Fu pretends to “lower herself and win back her marriage” while her inner monologue rants nonstop about the wealthy family's feuds.
The aloof heir eavesdrops on his ex-wife's thoughts and gossip every day. He not only ends up as her face-slapping sidekick, but also finds himself looking at her with ever-increasing affection.
“Madam, did you curse me in your head today? No sleeping until you do.”
