Failed author Qu Xingwen has kept writing for five years, but her niche genre hasn't earned her a penny, and she's on the verge of not being able to afford food.
Just when all hope seemed lost, Qu Xingwen went out one day and got hit by a Rolls-Royce!
As she spun through the air, she saw the Rolls-Royce emblem and closed her eyes in relief.
When she woke up, the owner of the Rolls-Royce was by her side. "So, how much do you want?"
Qu Xingwen had just come around. A nurse told her that the man who hit her was Fu Zuoqi, the city's richest man's only son.
Wow, not only was he filthy rich, but he also had a surname straight out of a romance novel.
But she had no experience with blackmail, er, compensation claims, and didn't know what amount to ask for. She stammered and stumbled over her words.
The next day, Fu Zuoqi's parents came to visit in person, pulling him into a bow as they apologized.
Just then, a fortune-teller popped out of nowhere and pointed at Qu Xingwen and Fu Zuoqi.
"This woman and this man were destined for each other in a past life. She ran, he chased, and he chased her into this life. This bond must be fulfilled."
Qu Xingwen: "...Huh?"
Workaholic Fu Zuoqi was still unmarried at thirty-six, and his parents had worried about his marriage for years. Hearing this, they were overjoyed.
They went all out to set the two of them up, using tears, tantrums, and threats of suicide on Fu, and a car, two houses, and three pieces of jewelry on Qu.
Under pressure from his parents, Fu Zuoqi had no choice but to suggest a marriage contract to Qu Xingwen.
"You can live on your own after we marry. I'll give you three million a month."
H-How much?!
Why write novels when I can have this? Qu Xingwen held out her right hand. "Hello, husband."
After getting married, they went about their lives separately. Qu Xingwen spent every day alone in a 500-square-meter mansion, playing poker against herself with her credit card. After a while, she grew bored and wanted to write again!
Then inspiration struck, and her new novel, "My Husband Never Comes Home, But Gives Me Three Million a Month," became a smash hit, turning into a publishing sensation while it was still being serialized!
Overnight fame brought not just money and recognition, but also a whole package of jealous competitors reporting her, spreading rumors, and doxxing her.
Qu Xingwen contacted Fu Zuoqi's lawyer, seeking legal support while working hard to keep writing.
As the scandal spread, more and more readers came to check out her work.
Gradually, she noticed a reader with the username "Wenwen's Husband" who never commented but frequently sent her paid gifts.
Before long, "Wenwen's Husband" had topped the tipping leaderboard! The readers affectionately dubbed them "Husband Sis."
Qu Xingwen's habit of writing herself into a corner was deeply ingrained, and halfway through the story, she suddenly started steering it toward a bad ending.
The next day, she was shocked to find "Wenwen's Husband" showering her with torpedoes, propelling her straight into the top ten of the author earnings chart.
At the same time, "Wenwen's Husband" left their first comment: "Give it a happy ending."
Qu Xingwen was secretly amazed. How did they... know?
And that night, Fu Zuoqi came home.

Fu Zuoqi was baffled. All he did was quietly follow his wife's novel and support her writing with tips.
Yet a crowd of readers came to gawk, leaving comments under his tips.
- "I was here to see it! Husband Sis is so generous!"
- "Husband Sis and Wenwen are real, I'm shipping them!"
- "What if Husband Sis is a man?"
- "Damn, then I'm not shipping them anymore."
- "If you're not shipping them, neither am I."
Fu Zuoqi's fingertips went white around his phone. He swore to protect his secret identity, disappear once the job was done, and keep his name hidden!
