After Going Bankrupt, My Wealthy Ex-Wife Won't Leave Me Alone

At seventeen, Zhong Yu was the beloved heiress of the Zhong family. Beauty and wealth, everything she wanted was within easy reach. Then she met Song You, a cold, brilliant student from a poor background, so beautiful she made Zhong Yu's heart itch with desire. Zhong Yu went to great lengths to win her over. After five years together, she dumped her and walked away. "It was just for fun. I'm over it. Don't take it seriously." Five years passed. Zhong Yu thought they'd never see each other again, until her family suddenly went bankrupt, saddled with debt and surrounded by scandals. She went from being a top-tier star to a laughingstock, hounded by scandals and cast down from the heights. On a rainy night, dressed in a worn-out shirt and looking utterly wretched, Zhong Yu accidentally ran into her ex-girlfriend, impeccably dressed in a luxury car. Song You had become a hot new name among Jin City's elite, dominating the world of wealth and fame. She was now completely out of Zhong Yu's league. The woman casually lowered the car window and glanced at her coldly. "Long time no see." - To pay off her debts, Zhong Yu signed an exploitative artist contract with Song You. "From this moment on, Zhong Yu, all your private time outside of work belongs exclusively to me." Living under Song You's roof, Zhong Yu walked on eggshells, at Song You's beck and call, dismissed whenever she pleased. By day, she was an attendant and errand girl at everyone's disposal, keeping Song You company at meals and drinks and helping her with rehabilitation. At night, she straddled Song You's lap, whispering sweet nothings, learning all sorts of tricks, doing everything she could to satisfy Song You's every secret desire. On the day she paid off her debts, a woman suspected of being Song You's fiancee appeared in the news. They attended a banquet together, a perfect match in status, both far beyond Zhong Yu's reach. Zhong Yu packed her things and left that night without a backward glance, leaving a note wishing the couple a happy marriage and a long life together. She couldn't live with herself if she became someone's secret lover. On a stormy night, the door of her tiny apartment was pounded open. The unattainable Miss Song stood there in a soaked suit, leaning on a cane, her delicate face pale as paper and her eyes bloodshot. "Zhong Yu, are you going to toy with me again?" Zhong Yu calmly reminded her, "Miss Song, you have a fiancee." Song You's damp tie wound around Zhong Yu's wrist. Her dark eyes fixed on Zhong Yu as she gathered all her strength and pulled her into an embrace. Song You's voice trembled. "I've only ever... loved you." - Bonus scene: Everyone said Song You was famous among Jin City's powerful elite for being cold and heartless. Countless people had tried to get close to her, only to be turned away. Everyone thought she'd taken in disgraced Zhong Yu only to keep her as a plaything, someone to fool around with. Then one day, Song You's secret account was exposed, instantly topping the trending list. It was filled with incomprehensible posts. "I tried cooking today and burned my hand. She was so worried about me. I still hate Zhong Yu, and it gives me some satisfaction, but I can't bear to see her sad." The whole internet went wild. Antis mocked the shippers for getting carried away with their pairing, insisting it was obviously fake. Who knew Zhong Yu would repost the post and write, "@Song You, I'll do the cooking from now on. Don't be mad, okay QAQ?" Song You: "...Okay." Everyone: "???" They were actually shipping a real couple? It turned out Zhong Yu wasn't a plaything, but the one she loved and could never have.

But rumor had it she'd never dated anyone, because her beautiful eyes looked at everyone as if they were trash. Ignored by her stepsister at school, Yi Tao got angry enough to get angry, then grabbed the doll and squeezed it all over. "You awful woman, I order you to come over right now and pin me against the wall and kiss me!" Three minutes later, Xin Ying, wearing a spaghetti-strap nightdress, knocked on her door. She pressed a long leg between Yi Tao's knees and kissed her without a word. Dazed by the kiss, Yi Tao thought, "??? This kind of thing can actually happen?" Her orders to the doll grew more and more outrageous. Until one day, her doll disappeared. Yi Tao felt like the sky had fallen.
