The only eligible bachelor in Jiangdong's circle of wives.
Thanks to her youth, beauty, and substantial assets, Xu Yan has long held the top spot on Jiangdong's male escorts' most-coveted list of patrons.
Everyone in their circle says Xu Yan is a fool with more money than sense.
Only Wei Jing knows that the drink Xu Yan ordered on the night of their unexpected encounter was an '82 Lafite.
It was on supermarket special, buy two, get one free. Guaranteed to get you drunk.
Much later, one day, Wei Jing took a post-coital drag on a cigarette and finally figured something out: eligible bachelors really are foolish, and they really do have a lot of money, but... they're incredibly stingy.
You can't make your money back without getting married.
(Extra scene)
Xu Yan (panicking): Have you fallen in love with me?
Wei Jing: You're overthinking it. I just want to charge a little more for my services.
Xu Yan: How much more?
Wei Jing: Nine yuan.
Xu Yan (delighted): That's so little! WeChat Pay or Alipay?
Wei Jing: No. This payment has to be made at a specific location.
Xu Yan: ??
Wei Jing: Tomorrow morning. Pay at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
After getting their marriage certificate.
Xu Yan (smoking with the air of someone who's seen it all): Pretty boys are so good at setting traps.
Wei Jing (voice hoarse): Deep voice, mermaid line, and a waist like a stud... They're all yours.
Banner: No 9,999, no 999, just 9 yuan! Just 9 yuan, and you can take home a deep voice, a mermaid line, and a stud's waist!
Theme: Long live money! Handsome guys are disposable!
