1. In her senior year of high school, Qiao Zhi's mother passed away, and she was taken in by the Lu family.

Lu Zhiting patted her shoulder and said gently, "Talk to me if anything comes up."

She nodded obediently, thinking she absolutely couldn't be a burden to the Lu family. But over the next year, she kept turning to Lu Zhiting for help.

Lu Zhiting set aside his busy schedule to attend parent-teacher meetings for her, brought her strawberry cake after late-night business dinners, and lit up the night sky with fireworks on her birthday...

His tenderness dazzled her and drew her in. With her heart fluttering like a startled fawn, Qiao Zhi had nowhere to put all her feelings.

Just as she worked up the courage to confess, she learned that Lu Zhiting was getting engaged to a wealthy heiress from a family of equal standing.

2. Years later, Qiao Zhi returned home with a Best Newcomer award, having captivated audiences as a graceful, slender beauty in a qipao. Her fame soared.

The following year, Qiao Zhi became a sensation thanks to a film, and suitors came one after another, but she was unmoved.

By chance, entertainment reporters photographed Qiao Zhi coming and going from the private residence of Lu Zhiting, CEO of the Lu Group.

Lu Zhiting was famous for keeping himself pure and had never been linked to a woman. Everyone declared that Qiao Zhi was making this up for publicity and hurled every kind of slander at her.

Lu Zhiting publicly announced: Girlfriend.

But Qiao Zhi said in an interview: Just a friend. We haven't gotten to know each other very well.

Onlookers: ???

Lu Zhiting saw the report, caught Qiao Zhi from behind, and brushed his thin lips against her ear as he gritted out, "Want to get to know me a little better?"

Qiao Zhi trembled: ...

◆ Reunited after a breakup, six-year age gap

◆ Each other's first love, happy ending

1. Xie Yin was born into a wealthy family and spoiled from childhood. Her ambition was to become a beautiful couch potato.

When her family said they were arranging a marriage with someone of equal status, she agreed without hesitation, so quickly that her best friend was speechless. Unable to help asking, "Don't you want to find your own true love?"

Xie Yin glanced at her and said lightly, "My parents said they'd put three hundred million in my account if I got married."

Her best friend: "...Love is precious, but three hundred million is even more valuable. I support you. Is there a deal like that for me, too?"

2. Shen Mo, the eldest son of the Shen family, was cold and ruthless, with an iron-fisted approach. He entered the company and crushed the board members, taking sole control before he even turned thirty. For years, he topped Xicheng's list of most eligible bachelors.

He was busy with work and uninterested in women. When his family told him they had arranged a suitable match, someone from a family of equal standing who was very well-behaved and met his expectations, he agreed without hesitation, happy to focus on work after the wedding.

But after they married, he gradually went from a workaholic who worked from five in the morning to nine at night to one who worked from nine to five and rushed out the moment the clock struck. He couldn't stand spending one extra minute at the office.

A friend teased him, "You were such a workhorse, and now you're turning into dried salted fish. Is the company going under?"

Shen Mo replied meaningfully, "Maybe the salted fish at home rubbed off on me."

His friend: How can anyone catch salted-fish-itis from a salted fish at home???

3. To Xie Yin, a total sucker for good looks, Shen Mo's face was a gift from heaven. Their families were an equal match, their marriage was a business arrangement, and there was no love but plenty of money. She could carry on with her beautiful life of doing nothing. She was very satisfied.

But married life left Xie Yin bitterly disappointed. Shen Mo took her to a banquet one day, a business dinner the next, and even brought her on an out-of-town business trip after that. Her gaming account gathered dust, her comics piled up into a mountain, and worst of all, she couldn't remember the last time she watched a show that updated at ten every night!

At last, Xie Yin couldn't take it anymore. "Shen Mo, let's get divorced. Being married isn't any fun!"

Shen Mo casually loosened his tie. "Be good. Today we'll play a fun new game."

Xie Yin: "..."

The couch potato just wants to lie flat, not play games!!!
