"Man perishes for wealth, and birds perish for food."
Gu Xiao sneered: No matter what kind of death, I only believe in one reason - if you don't have money, you must not do it.

Li Yi sneered coldly: Gentleman? All I know is that what I want must be mine.

The thing that Gu Xiao regretted most in his life was breaking through the third prince's conspiracy.
She thought she could settle it with money.

"Forgive me, my husband is jealous. He didn't believe that I was out on business, so he followed me secretly to keep an eye on me - it's a joke for you all."

Li Yi: I knew you loved me!
Gu Xiao: Husband, this rich woman is here to save you!

I am Gu Xiao.
I'm not just a rich woman.
