As a Math Major, I Married into a Wealthy Family on My Own Merit

Reading note: This is actually a revenge story. Didn't see that coming, did you? Another reading note: Take the male and female leads as they are. This is important! Couple: A straight-as-an-arrow, hardheaded, blunt, research-obsessed, impoverished female science student in the math department × an immature, fake-playboy, secretly purehearted, tsundere academic bigwig and CEO Li Ke was always complaining about how blind the heroine of a CEO romance had to be to sleep with the wrong man. Then she experienced the classic plot firsthand: "After a passionate night spent in the wrong room and the wrong bed, the CEO whips out a check and throws it at her." Furious after being rejected in every possible way by his unrequited love, Fu Baicheng got drunk and called a young model to spend a wild night with him. The next morning, he tossed her a check. "Take the money and get lost." Li Ke: "Thank you kindly... (counts the zeros) Only 200,000? Are you trying to fob off a beggar? At least give me enough for a down payment on a place in Guangzhou!" Fu Baicheng: "What else do you want?" Li Ke: "You did a pretty good job last night. Here's a tip for you, too." Fu Baicheng's phone buzzed: "Alipay received 99.90 yuan." "..." She takes his 200,000 yuan, doesn't even give him a hundred back. What a piece of work! That night marked the end of Li Ke's peaceful college life. But what followed wasn't the vulgar CEO-romance plot she'd expected. Instead, beneath an outward calm, an undercurrent of revolution was stirring. Fu Baicheng never imagined he'd develop the faintest feelings for the person who'd accidentally ended up in his bed. Of course, it wasn't for some stupid reason like her sweet body. He'd already forgotten what that night felt like (Li Ke: ?). He thought he'd fallen in love with the soul inside her. Bonus scenes, just for fun * Fu Baicheng: "You think you can really be my girlfriend? Dream on. Let's get one thing straight: I'm not going to lift you out of poverty." Some time later. Fu Baicheng: "I say I'm going to lift you out of poverty. Got a problem with that?" Li Ke politely but firmly refuses: "..." Sorry, she likes the type who's academically brilliant, mathematically gifted, and radiates high-IQ energy, not an immature old man like this. * President Fu had been in love with his unrequited love, Lin Yue, for ten years. He thought Li Ke and Lin Yue would surely fight over him, but instead Lin Yue: "I don't want to work after studying abroad. Maybe I'll apply for a PhD at Y University." Li Ke: "What do you think about the math department?" "Math? I'm sorry I was born human." "...Then what did you major in?" "The Sinicization of Marxism." Li Ke: "???" Then why did she go abroad? Lin Yue, smiling with a dead heart: "To get away from Fu Baicheng. You have no idea how painful it was to have someone like me, who gets twenty or thirty points in math, mocked for my intelligence every day. You didn't know? He's an IMO gold medalist, and a PhD in financial mathematics from xxx (an Ivy League school), as well as a graduate teaching assistant..." Li Ke, eyes wide with shock. * Someone tampered with Li Ke's score for graduate school recommendation. President Fu, worried sick, rushes to Y University, only to find her sharing an umbrella with a graduate student from her department. Fu Baicheng: "Damn it! If I help her get recommended for grad school, won't I just be giving her and that loser a chance to get together? Maybe I should just send her abroad to study!" Secretary: ...An impressive way to hurt the enemy by losing a thousand while they lose eight hundred. That's so like you. The morning after their passionate night, President Fu orders his secretary to dig up every last detail about Li Ke: her address, her social circle, her family's per capita income... After arguing with Li Ke before the National Day holiday, he discovers the next day that he can't find her anywhere. Fu Baicheng, feeling out of sorts: "Where did Li Ke go?" Secretary: "She went home." Fu Baicheng: "Where does she live? How many people are in her family? What do they all do?" Secretary: ...Boss, are you the kind of person who skips the first and last pages of research papers and only reads the examples and simulations? * News that the young CEO of xx Group is going to marry a math student from a top-tier 985 university takes over the trending charts. Facing the crowd of reporters at her door, Li Ke says, "How did we meet? It was a misunderstanding." "A long courtship? No, it happened faster than a hundred-meter sprint." "Did we marry for love? With my looks and brains, what else could he want from me?" "I have reason to suspect I'm actually the heroine of some novel." Reporter: "My Struggle?" "No, The CEO's Flash-Married Little Wife." Theme: Isn't this more thrilling than Boruto?
