Liang Zhou wakes up one day and suddenly discovers that he's the male lead of a second-rate romance novel. He's penniless for now, but one day he'll become a domineering CEO.
But being a tech tycoon or an inspiring top student is just the side dish. All his hard work to turn his life around and make money is for the sake of spending it on his wife.
Liang Zhou scoffs. Why should he? He's deeply dissatisfied with his original character. According to the plot, while he was playing the woman's dog, he missed a bull market, turned down a collaboration opportunity with a big shot, and gave up on studying abroad. Without her holding him back, he could reach that position three years earlier.
So, at the scene where they were supposed to fall in love at first sight, Liang Zhou pushes his rival into her path instead.
In the original story, that guy fell in love with the heroine at first sight.
A lovesick idiot like that doesn't deserve to be his enemy.
Liang Zhou works diligently and tirelessly, day and night, until he finally becomes even more successful than he'd expected.
One day, while shopping for discounted bread at the supermarket, Liang Zhou sees a girl.
Her skin is snow-white, her long hair hanging loosely and a little messily. Under the supermarket lights, she looks like someone from a dream.
He stares at her in a daze, not even noticing when an old man next to him snatches the nearly expired toast from his hands.
His eyes light up. Nothing has ever thrilled him as much as this, not even securing an investment worth tens of millions.
His drive, which had flagged because of how successful he'd become, flares up again. He swallows, about to approach his future wife and introduce himself.
Then a familiar face appears beside his wife: his former rival, now not even worthy of carrying his shoes, the brainless lovesick idiot he'd so helpfully introduced to her.
Liang Zhou: Holy crap!
"We're made for each other." Liang Zhou is so dazzled by his wife's scent that he forgets everything he meant to say.
His destined wife looks at him hesitantly. "But is it okay if I already have a husband?"
Su Yin has had plenty of admirers, and she's always known how to turn people down.
But this man named Liang Zhou is just too much of a simp. She can't shake him off.
Han Shu used to find Liang Zhou, that hardworking grind, pretty annoying, until Liang Zhou found his conscience and introduced him to his goddess.
At an industry dinner, he beams at Liang Zhou. "Thanks, buddy. I'll let you know as soon as anything good happens."
Hardworking Liang Zhou seems to have contracted rabies. He yells and charges at him. "Over my dead body! Keep dreaming!"
A penny-pinching workaholic who spends all his hard-earned money on his wife and is determined to be a simp × a fickle, artsy insomniac who knows how to tame dogs
