   God knows, even at forty, I still love the old-fashioned feel of these two arranged marriages that lead to love. "Fired by my boss? Turns out I'm marrying him! And before the wedding, I even stumbled upon him being rejected by his first love – what's even more ridiculous – he caught me red-handed! The contract marriage is quickly finalized: he inherits a multi-billion dollar company a year later, and I take the money and leave. I intended to be a good tool, but I gradually fell for his unintentional tenderness. When the deadline approached, I prepared to leave without a trace... But he pulled me into his arms, his voice hoarse: 'The agreement is null and void. The money is yours, and you... Are mine.'" (From *Mr. Gu, Please Call Me Mrs. Gu*). Another book also features an arranged marriage followed by a ten-year unrequited love trope, also very old-fashioned. Divorced parents, a domineering mother, a cold father, and a broken yet capable man, meeting an innocent girl who becomes his ten-year-long unrequited love. "A thousand dollars, I'll hire you to play my husband!" "To escape my mom's endless blind dates, I grabbed a handsome guy in a suit on the street and faked a marriage certificate. He leisurely discussed the agreement? I was frantic: 'It's just an act, let's get this over with quickly!' With the certificate in hand, I breathed a sigh of relief and asked his name—'Lin Xiaozhi.' 'Guan Jiujiu, your graduation yearbook is still with me.' A whisper in my ear exploded like thunder! Ten years ago, on the night of our graduation ceremony, the senior I forcibly kissed had the same name embroidered on his shirt! Help!
