I'm After Your Poverty

Blurb:

[Complete]

[A girl who loves money more than life and is forced into poverty, VS a little wolf in a puppy's clothing]

After Shi Yu nearly died from a serious illness, her parents went up the mountain to seek a fortune for her. The master said she had enjoyed too much good fortune in the first half of her life, and a calamity was bound to come. To save her life, she would have to stay away from rich families and live in poverty.

After more than half a year of ascetic life in the mountains, Shi Yu declared, "Even if I, Shi Yu, die, I'll die outside, and I'll die surrounded by money."

Until one day she came down the mountain and, disguised as a server at her best friend's wedding, met another pale, sickly "male server" who was terrible at his job.

She couldn't help thinking that such a frail, rosy-lipped, pretty little puppy would be very popular with rich women.

One misstep later, she became the lucky former rich woman who got him.

The man lowered his long lashes and looked at her with innocent eyes. "You may have to take responsibility."

Shi Yu was so frank she almost felt bad. "...You might not believe me, but my pockets are cleaner than my face."

In Shi Yu's eyes, Lu Xingzhi was so pretty, with his rosy lips and fair teeth, that she wanted to ravage him. Yet he was a helpless little puppy who couldn't even hurt a fly.

What else could she do with someone so fragile except put him on the highest level of protected cubs?

Only the passersby who had been beaten up countless times by someone knew that Lu Xingzhi was as docile in front of Shi Yu as he was terrifying to everyone else.

As Chen Yu's fiancée, Tang Tang had to deal with rich-family power struggles and his endless stream of rumored girlfriends, while also putting up with his constant mockery.

Tang Tang silently endured it for three years.

Everyone thought Tang Tang was hopelessly in love with Chen Yu. Chen Yu thought so, too. After enough time passed, even Tang Tang almost believed it.

Until Chen Yu met the girl he wanted to cherish above all others and took control of the Chen family. Tang Tang gracefully stepped aside and gave up her position as his fiancée.

She opened a cafe in the city center, where every inch of land was worth a fortune, and became a charming, elegant proprietress.

Chen Yu went there once. He saw the woman he had hated with her hair grown out to her shoulders, a long skirt brushing the floor as she raised a hand to tease a black-and-white cat. Her voice was soft. "An'an."

He watched her play the guitar and sing softly in the cafe, a dimple appearing at the corner of her lips.

Only then did he understand that, from beginning to end, Tang Tang had loved only his late elder brother, Chen Li'an.

That was why, even when his mother deliberately made things difficult for her, Tang Tang simply held back and said nothing.

Even with countless rumors about him, not once did she show the slightest emotion.

Even when he deliberately said cruel things to her, all he got in return was a gentle smile.

All along, he was the one who couldn't pull away.
