Say That Again with the Marriage Certificate in Front of You

After the Jiang family went bankrupt, Jiang Xing struggled to get by with his little brother, who was a burden he had to drag around.

Then Sheng Sili, the once untouchable young master of the Sheng family, showed up at his door and proposed a marriage of convenience!

He even said coldly, “Money is all you can expect. Don't dream of anything else!”

Jiang Xing: “…”

After being stunned by this windfall from nowhere, Jiang Xing learned that he was living inside a novel.

Sheng Sili was the taciturn, career-focused male lead, while his one true love was the fussy male lead shou. The two would spend a million words chasing and running from each other over misunderstandings, before finally living happily ever after.

And Jiang Xing was nothing but a disposable tool, doing all sorts of stupid things to bring the male leads together and help the one true love gain acceptance from the wealthy family, only to starve to death on the street in the end.

After learning all this, Jiang Xing's eyes lit up, and tears of excitement filled them. “Thank you, God of Wealth, for this limited-time poverty relief!”

Being a tool is great! Being a tool is wonderful!

So...

He tracked down all the classes and private tutors his little brother had signed up for!

He bought back the sports car he'd always loved!

Then he bought two luxury burial plots and prepared to die!

And he didn't forget to help others get rich after getting rich himself:

He gave the idol who had helped him a big break!

He lined up great scripts for the talented actress!

After checking off all his little goals, Jiang Xing happily counted the days on his fingers, wondering when he would get to play matchmaker.

But one month passed, then two...

A year later, the one true love finally returned from abroad.

He was as delicate and fussy as the Princess and the Pea.

Even Jiang Xing couldn't help wanting to dote on him a little!

But Sheng Sili showed no sign of making a move to win him back.

“This Sheng guy really can't use his words. No wonder it takes him a million words to get the guy!” Jiang Xing grumbled, then eagerly tried to set them up.

“President Sheng, I've arranged everything for the variety show I'm investing in. I've reserved a destined-lovers storyline for you two!”

“President Sheng, I explained to your one true love that you've been faithful and virtuous!”

“President Sheng, can you actually do anything? You won't even buy a plane ticket to fly abroad, and you can't open your mouth either?”

“At this rate, your one true love is going to fall for me!”

President Sheng paused his search for “The Thousandth Viable Way to Win Your Ex Back” and silently stared at Jiang Xing for a long while before finally asking in a low voice, “Say that again while looking at our marriage certificate. We're a married couple protected by law and morality!”

Jiang Xing: “???”

1. A logic-free wish-fulfillment story about the entertainment industry. All characters are made up, with no real-life inspirations.

2. A pretty idol shou who's a master at getting the most out of a deal x a domineering CEO gong who talks tough but always gives in
