Because of a marriage contract, Yu Chu was brought back to Jiangcheng to marry He Mingxiu.
To end this loveless marriage as soon as possible, Yu Chu made inquiries and learned that He Mingxiu loathed women who pretended to be innocent and fragile.
From then on, everyone knew Yu Chu as a delicate beauty, as frail as a willow, speaking softly and winning people's sympathy, and spending all day trailing after He Mingxiu.
He Mingqiu was sick of her and looked down on her, never even giving her a proper glance.
A year later, the business partnership between their families ended. Seeing that the time was right, Yu Chu went to a law firm to draw up divorce papers with He Mingxiu. On the way, she got into a car accident and lost some of her memories, forgetting only He Mingxiu.
"Are you sure this is my husband?" After waking up and hearing her best friend explain things, Yu Chu looked astonished. "Handsome and rich, rarely comes home, and leaves me alone to spend his fortune in a mansion?"
She couldn't believe it. "Then why would I want a divorce? Isn't a man like that my dream partner?"
-
After leaving the hospital, Yu Chu changed completely. Gone was her former all-consuming love; she stopped clinging to He Mingxiu.
She even suggested that they sleep in separate rooms, doing as he wished and obediently becoming his wife in name only.
Then one time, while He Mingxiu was away on a business trip, a friend teased him at a bar: "You've been married so long, and you've never brought your wife here."
He Mingxiu scoffed, unconcerned. "She's so timid. There's no way she'd come to a place like this."
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman's laughter rang out nearby, sounding rather familiar.
He Mingxiu turned toward the sound.
Yu Chu was wearing a spaghetti-strap mini dress, her black hair framing red lips, her skin as pale as snow. Radiant and alluring, she sipped champagne. "I don't know why I wanted to divorce He Mingxiu. Sure, I lost love, but I gained an ATM."
"Isn't being a rich single woman just wonderful?"
Before she could finish, someone suddenly tapped her on the shoulder. Yu Chu turned around.
The man's shirt collar was casually undone. He looked at her with lazy amusement and a faint smile. "Who's a rich single woman, hmm?"
Yu Chu: "..."
