He Supports My Lofty Ideals [Modern Matriarchy]

Blurb:

After Lin Shu graduated from college, her family was buried under tens of millions in debt. To pay it off, she delivered food and worked part-time as a designated driver.

One day, she got a designated-driving request from a man with a pure, handsome face and a seductive figure.

After she drove him to his destination, he suddenly tossed a thick wad of cash at her. Tipsy and languid, he reclined in the back seat, his collar open to reveal his pale collarbones. "Spend the night with me, and this money is yours."

She never expected to meet a man so brazen. Anyone else would have thought this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but she felt insulted. Fighting down her anger, she said, "Please show some respect. I'm not that kind of person."

With her head held high, she took only the fee she was owed for driving and slammed the car door before walking away.

The following night, she got another request from him. She was going to reject it, but then thought better of it. No one turns down money.

He was just as drunk this time, but didn't say anything bizarre.

On the third night, she got another request from him...

For a whole month, she saw him almost every day, and gradually got used to him.

Then one day, he vanished as if he'd never existed.

When they met again, it was an awkward scene. It turned out he was the pampered son of a high-ranking official, while she was just a driver for an executive.

Lu Yuzhou had been deceived by a beast in human clothing, who took both his heart and his innocence. He was exhausted and miserable.

He deliberately went to a hotel to drink himself into a stupor, degrading himself and keeping company with people who sought only momentary pleasure.

Then one day, he saw a woman who looked a little like her and lost himself for a moment. That was when he realized he had never forgotten his first love.

He paid a hefty sum to investigate the lookalike and learned she was a designated driver. She was short on money, so she should be easy to manipulate.

Then he threw money at the platform to hire her on a monthly basis, making sure she was assigned to drive him every time.

That's right. He wanted to make Lin Shu his!

He just hadn't expected her to be so proud... Her personality was nothing like his gentle ex-girlfriend's!

[Bonus Scene]

Before they got together:

Lin Shu: I'm not going to be anyone's substitute. Thanks!

Lu Yuzhou: I'll pay off your debt, give you money, and give you a car and a house.

I'll also give you the connections you need to rise above the rest.

Lin Shu: Being your substitute girlfriend doesn't sound so bad after all.

Deal!

Years later:

Lin Shu: I'm rich and powerful now!

I'll pay you back twice over for everything you gave me.

And now I'm going to marry you. You don't get to say no!

Lu Yuzhou: I have no intention of ever getting married!

Lin Shu: You treated me like a substitute, so now I'm forcing you to marry me!

Lu Yuzhou: ???

P.S. Set in modern times. A story about helping the disadvantaged.
