Story blurb:

Early one morning on the subway, Ling Han saw a scandal about her own husband: Ji Huai, heir to the Wansheng Group, had a secret meeting with Sun Xuan, the second daughter of the Jinghe Group. Rumor had it wedding bells were just around the corner.

In the photo, Ji Huai was draping his suit jacket over Sun Xuan, looking every bit the gallant gentleman, while Sun Xuan gazed at him with tender affection.

Most women would go ballistic if they caught their husbands cheating.

Ling Han, however, was remarkably calm when she saw her husband cheating.

Her marriage to Ji Huai was nothing but a transaction.

She wanted money and a house. The Ji family wanted the child in her womb.

Their marriage was secret, and hardly anyone knew about it. The Ji family had long planned to kick her out once she gave birth.

In the end, Ji Huai would marry a woman of equal status, a phoenix, not a country bumpkin like her.

Once the baby was born, she had the money and the house deed in her hands. Before the Ji family could kick her out, Ling Han dusted herself off and left of her own accord.

Unexpectedly, Ji Huai refused to divorce her.

Ling Han: ?

Weren't we supposed to be doing this as a transaction?

Ji Huai: I fell for you.

Ling Han sneered. "What about all those women you flirt with? And your first love, locked away in that little wooden box in your study? What happens to them?"

The next day, Ling Han saw herself in the news: Wansheng Group's heir spends the night with a mysterious woman, with a baby by his side. The people in the photo were her and Ji Huai.

Ji Huai reposted the news and commented: "That's my wife and child. Please don't spread rumors. Thank you."

This is a 1v1, an old-school melodramatic romance, with a groveling chase for the wife.

Preview: Daughter of a Modest Household

The Jiang family was originally poor and of humble status, but unexpectedly became related by marriage to the wealthy Wei family of the capital. Jiang's father shamelessly asked Master Wei to find him a job in the capital, so Jiang Yuan followed her father there when he went to take up his new post.

Wei Xuan, the legitimate son of the Wei family, was handsome and graceful, skilled in archery and horsemanship, and well versed in poetry and literature. He was the ideal husband in countless girls' eyes, yet also an aloof flower on a lofty peak, especially disdainful of poor relatives like the Jiang family who had attached themselves to the Weis.

Jiang Yuan came from a humble family and could find no suitable match, neither above nor below her station. Before long, she was an unmarried woman of twenty.

Then she looked around and realized that Wei Xuan, the lofty flower two years her senior, was still single too.

Wei Xuan: "How about we settle for each other?"

Jiang Yuan: "Does Young Master Wei know why I haven't married yet?"

Wei Xuan: "Why?"

Jiang Yuan: "I don't want to settle."

He'll pursue her to the ends of the earth. 1v1, happy ending.
