A Marriage of Convenience in a Tycoon Family [Entertainment Industry]

[Complete] Next book: Eloping with the Moonlight

When the Cong family suddenly fell into ruin, Cong Xia became desperately poor. After getting by in the entertainment industry with help from the Fang family twice, she never expected them to come knocking.

She was terrified, but the Fang family matriarch handed her a five-million-yuan check and asked her to marry the unconscious eldest young master of the Fang family to bring him good fortune.

She soon met the man who was, in name, her husband. His name was familiar, and so was his face. He was clearly Fang Zeyi, the poker-faced hotshot who had once ruled the school, had countless fangirls, and used to stroll down the hallway eight hundred times a day.

A month later, Fang Zeyi woke up. He glanced at the check by his bedside and smiled apologetically. “Our Fang family is about to go under.”

Cong Xia: A bounced check? Excuse me?!

Cong Xia wanted to leave, but after Fang Zeyi wrote her an eight-million-yuan check with the amount left blank, she decided she was willing to believe he could make a comeback.

So she watched him fire the driver and chef, give her a plastic necklace, and go on a honeymoon only after winning a prize.

Cong Xia: Poor thing. Maybe I should forget about the eight million...

Until one day, she saw the driver and chef happily retired at the Fang family’s old residence, learned that an expert had called her plastic necklace a top-grade gemstone, and discovered that even the owner of the island they had traveled to was Fang Zeyi.

Cong Xia: And you were still being stingy about that eight-million-yuan check? ╰_╯

*That bitter winter, I passed through the hallway hundreds of times just to meet your gaze once.

Now, in the height of summer, I will do whatever it takes to keep you by my side.

From Mr. Fang’s diary

Next book: Eloping with the Moonlight. Blurb:

A remote mountain town, a place of mixed company.

Chen Manyue goes to the mountains to teach, but on her very first day, she is kidnapped and taken to a criminals’ hideout.

That was the first time she met Xu Shuo. In a cramped, damp room, the ember at his fingertips was the only light.

But he smiled lewdly. “If I hadn’t asked Brother Lin for you, did you think you’d only have to keep one man company?”

She feared and hated him, yet she never imagined that amid the final chaotic battle, he would be the one to protect her at all costs as they fled beyond the mountains.

In the hazy night, his words as he turned to leave rang clearly in her ears.

“When you get back, wait for me to find you.”

When they met again, it was at the entrance to a police station. He wore a police uniform, standing tall, his features calm and composed.

After the cigarette between his fingers had burned down, he raised his arms and held her.

“Not everything I said back then was an act. For example, when I asked whether you’d come with me, I meant it.”

*

In that moment, may the mountains be high and the rivers long.

Beneath the moonlight, let’s elope together for eighty thousand li.

Upcoming book, Falling into the River of Stars. Blurb:

Xu Luoluo is a poor student. Shortly before her senior year of high school, she is forced to transfer to Jiangcheng High School and ends up staying with Ji Xingfei, who is three years older than her.

Jiangcheng High School is said to be the eighteenth level of hell. Ji Xingfei’s home is the nineteenth level of hell in Xu Luoluo’s mind.

He is fussy, a germaphobe, solitary, aloof, and a stickler for rules, so she often secretly calls him Miss Ji behind his back.

*

Living alone is comfortable, and Ji Xingfei has stuck to that ever since reaching adulthood. Then one day, his mother moved a friend’s child into his home.

That girl, Xu Luoluo, gets poor grades but has plenty of tricks up her sleeve. Whenever she gets into trouble, all she does is call him and act cute.

From the first day he met her, he knew she was a troublemaker.

*

Later, the troublemaker fell for Miss Ji.

But Xu Luoluo knows Ji Xingfei has never really liked her. He must like women who are just as noble, graceful, cool, proper, and strict about rules as he is. So after the college entrance exams, she sneaks away, deciding never to see him again.

Until she receives a letter from him:

“If I didn’t like you, would I have let you stay for so long?”

Theme: If you like someone, you should be together.
