She Desperately Pretends to Be Poor

[My next book, Scandalous Lover, is now online and updating!] Blurb: One day, wealthy heiress Wen Ruan comes to her senses and decides to resist her family's arranged marriage and become independent. That evening, she takes a stack of black cards and leaves home to make her own way in the world. Who knew that as soon as she got off the train, two human traffickers would set their sights on her? Just as Wen Ruan is about to be forcibly taken away, someone steps in to save her. With one swift, sharp move, he throws the trafficker over his shoulder and knocks him down. Fu Zhihuan straightens up, casually adjusts his collar, and looks down at Wen Ruan. "Call the police." As a total sucker for good looks, Wen Ruan has no resistance to a handsome guy radiating enough masculine charm to blow her away! After giving their statements at the police station, Wen Ruan shamelessly clings to Fu Zhihuan and manages to rent a room in his home: "I came from out of town, I'm poor and all alone, and now human traffickers are after me. If you kick me out, I'll get sold. Waaaah." Fu Zhihuan glances at the limited-edition red Hermes suitcase in Wen Ruan's hand and falls silent. To stay at Fu Zhihuan's house, Wen Ruan works hard every day to pretend to be poor and live up to her story, but... "A five-thousand-yuan dress isn't cheap?" "I only bought two bags this week! Two! That's two! And you still call me extravagant?" "How can you buy lipstick without opening the package?" One day, Wen Ruan finds a ring at Fu Zhihuan's house. It matches the ring sent by the family of her wealthy fiance, whom she's never met. Wen Ruan: ?? Isn't he from an ordinary family? * Once, someone asked, "Have you really decided to call off the engagement? You have someone by your side. Maybe she could make you happy." Fu Zhihuan holds a cigarette between his fingers. Its glowing red tip lights up his dark eyes. He laughs, his voice low and hoarse. "Don't put that young woman through this. She should live freely, not be a little songbird kept just to make me happy." But after meeting Wen Ruan, Fu Zhihuan realizes that he is selfish to the core. He regrets it. He only wants Wen Ruan to stay by his side. A white rabbit of a lawyer heroine who turns sharp-tongued when you scratch the surface, skill level MAX X a prosecutor hero who is simply A-level irresistible Content warning: I consulted professionals about the legal aspects, but I still don't know enough about the work of lawyers and prosecutors, so there may be errors in their professional lives. Corrections are welcome. I didn't do enough research, and that's on me. I accept criticism. Because of the characters' personalities, this isn't a career-focused story. You can read it as a light, fluffy novel. If that bothers you, please think carefully before reading. --> Next book: Scandalous Lover Qin Yujue's agent books her on a dating reality show and picks an ordinary man to play her fake boyfriend. On the day of the contract signing, Qin Yujue arrives at the office. A man leans lazily against the desk, the glowing red tip of his cigarette lighting up his dark eyes. When she enters, he merely raises his eyelids and glances at her. He has a wild, carefree air, with a hint of languor and unrestrained ease in his eyes. Without giving it much thought, Qin Yujue takes off her sunglasses and pulls out the contract. "We'll break up once the show is over. If you have no objections, sign here." Eight years later. Behind those sunglasses is the same bright, beautiful face he remembers. Xie Yanchi pauses, then snuffs out his cigarette. He leisurely picks up the contract and scans it before suddenly laughing under his breath. "Two hundred thousand?" "Want to negotiate?" "No." There is an almost-amused look in Xie Yanchi's eyes. He deftly spins the pen between his fingers, then signs. "No negotiation." Just after he signs his name, her agent walks in with the real "boyfriend" and exclaims, "Second Young Master Xie? What are you doing here?" Second Young Master Xie? Qin Yujue stares in shock at the flamboyant signature: Xie Yanchi. "...Sorry. Should we void the contract?" Xie Yanchi lifts his eyes, amusement in his gaze, and drawls, "Little girl, you got me for two hundred thousand. You can't take a bargain like that and then return it." * Everyone knows that Second Young Master Xie of Jingyi Group is trouble, even if he looks like a carefree playboy. Once, an idiot brought a newcomer over to pour Xie Yanchi a drink. Before the glass was even full, Xie Yanchi let out a low laugh and leaned toward the newcomer. His brows turned cold, and his voice suddenly chilled. "Get lost." Later, though, everyone saw this notorious man on a wildly popular variety show, hands in his pockets as he followed a C-list actress, his eyes full of laughter: "Little girl, want to learn how to kiss today?" "Like hell. Get lost." Theme: A heartwarming story
