After five years of secret marriage, Qin Siyue was convinced Yuan Qinghuan was a gold digger with a talent for getting what she wanted.

Five years ago, he ran into this woman near a newsstand. She was dressed cheaply, yet unexpectedly beautiful.

The newspaper in her hands even had a headline about him, but she “pretended” not to recognize him.

She “happened” to show up when he was under the most pressure to get married, and immediately accepted his proposal.

He was Qin Siyue, heir to the Qin Group, a man whose every word could send the stock market into a frenzy for three days.

Qin Siyue didn't believe it was a coincidence. Her lie was painfully clumsy.

Right then, he decided she was just like every other vain woman.

She had staged a chance encounter and played innocent to catch his attention, then married him so she could spend his money without a care.

But he wasn't about to give the “gold digger” what she wanted.

They could get married, but she wouldn't get a cent.

To his surprise, she agreed without hesitation. She was even talked into having a child.

By the time the child was three and a half, the family was still living the “poor life” he had carefully arranged.

Qin Siyue thought he had finally met a formidable opponent.

So she could put on an act? Fine. He had all the patience in the world.

Qin Siyue waited for Yuan Qinghuan to slip up.

One ordinary Sunday afternoon, after Yuan Qinghuan went out, Qin Siyue did what he always did: went out to have fun with his friends.

At an upscale club, the handsome, aloof man swirled the wine in his glass as a friend beside him teased him with a hint of malice:

“Brother Qin, you're going out less and less. We're worried you're going to get in too deep.”

“How could I? I'm already getting bored of this woman.”

Qin Siyue sat there quietly, taking a careless sip of his drink.

He glanced at the Rolex on his wrist, worth hundreds of thousands. It was about time.

The man put on his usual act again and headed home to play the role of a penniless husband.

That day, Yuan Qinghuan didn't come home.

At midnight, what he saw on television was a report about a young woman who had been murdered.

Yes, that gold digger, his wife of five years, the mother of his child, the woman who always gave him a faint smile

Yuan Qinghuan was dead.
