A scheming investment banker vs. a money-loving actuary Also known as: Raising a Money-Mad Girlfriend Blurb Back when he was young and reckless, he used every means at his disposal to get her, thinking he could win. Who would have guessed that this woman, Xiong Beibei, really only loved money? Before marriage, Dai Lunqian cheated, connived, resorted to any means, and had no shame. After marriage, Dai Lunqian smoked, couldn't sleep, and was forced into celibacy. That night, drunk, he went into the master bedroom and pinned her beneath him... “Don't you love money? I'll give you some! Name your price.” He said something foolish and did something reckless, then apologized the next day. But what was done could not be undone... A little scene Xiong Beibei posted a WeChat screenshot on Weibo. It read: Keeper: Baby, it's getting cold today. Put on your long underwear. Xiong Beibei: No, it's not even below freezing. Keeper: Be good and put them on. I'll send you a red envelope. Xiong Beibei: ...You can't be corrupted by wealth. Keeper: [Red envelope] Xiong Beibei on Weibo: [Sigh, life is always full of temptations.] A netizen asked, “Who is the ‘Keeper’?” Her influencer best friend reposted: [I'll bet 100 spicy strips you put them on!] Financial tycoon Dai Lunqian reposted and commented: [She didn't put them on, but she took the money.] #He thought they were in love, while she thought he was keeping her.

The idea that she's being kept is entirely in her own head. 3. The hero is a scheming, loyal puppy. Theme: Love needs no reason
