* Song Jiqing had lost nearly ten years of her memories.
She only remembered that the day before, she'd been clucking away in the village as she fed the chickens.
When she woke up today, she had become a wealthy society wife.
More accurately, a discarded wife from a wealthy family.
Her husband was preparing to divorce her.
They'd signed an agreement before marriage: if they divorced, she would go back to being penniless.

Somehow acquiring a husband out of nowhere left Song Jiqing feeling miserable.
She went to a bar to drown her sorrows and unexpectedly met a handsome man with a cold expression.
The handsome man stared at her for a long time. His gaze made Song Jiqing blush and her heart race. She shut her eyes, steeled herself, and went over to ask for his contact information. He looked at her with a hint of confusion.
After that, her crush kept her at arm's length, reeling her in until she was completely muddled.
Song Jiqing promised drowsily, "Once I divorce that cheapskate, I'll be with you. I can't do it yet."
After hearing that, her crush became even colder.
Song Jiqing felt increasingly guilty, so she could only hurry up the divorce process.

Her husband never came home, and Song Jiqing couldn't find him. She repeatedly arranged appointments through his secretary, only to get stood up every time. Then her best friend told her she'd seen him buying a ring, so he probably had a new love.
Song Jiqing was furious.
She barged straight into the company's conference room, ready to demand an explanation.
With all those employees watching, surely he wouldn't dare to wriggle out of it.
Later, she did see him.
But she was the one who fled in a panic.

In the CEO's office,
Song Jiqing, red-faced, demanded to know why he'd deceived her. He was so mean.
Pei Huaichu raised an eyebrow and drawled, "Well, I'm a cheapskate, so it's only natural that I'm a little mean."
Song Jiqing: "..."
