On their wedding night, Su Yuan dreamed of a book in which she was a cannon-fodder character who failed to win the male lead from the heroine and, out of spite, married the heroine's uncle.
The book was called Three Tycoons Fight to Spoil Me. Su Yuan's bargain-bin husband, Lu Chengyan, was the heroine's powerful uncle.
Now sitting on the wedding bed, Su Yuan was numb with shock.
She had only agreed to an arranged marriage after a "breakup." Who could have expected things to turn out like this?
Now that she knew the plot, the sight of the man emerging from the bathroom did nothing for her, despite his six-pack and handsome, cold-as-ice face.
So Su Yuan coolly pulled his loosened bathrobe closed and raised an eyebrow.
"Divorce, or we each do our own thing. Pick one."
The man frowned. The perfect line of his jaw, still beaded with water, hit Su Yuan's X fetish right on the mark.
She couldn't hold back for a moment.
And then... she couldn't hold back again and again, putting off her grand divorce plan time after time.
After having her fill, Su Yuan came to her senses. She still had to get a divorce.
But having enjoyed the benefits of her husband, and with theirs being a marriage between two wealthy families, she couldn't bring herself to bring up divorce first.
So she decided to act up and keep pushing her plastic husband's limits until he asked for a divorce.
When she saw a failing hotel, Su Yuan invested without blinking, even though it hurt to part with the money!
When she heard a fishing family was selling their island to survive, Su Yuan's compassion overflowed, though not by much, and she steeled herself to make trouble for her husband: "I'll buy the island!"
Everyone in their circle watched Su Yuan make trouble and waited for the divorce.
So did Su Yuan.
Who knew the hotel would become a hit and the island would make them rich? The more trouble Su Yuan caused, the wealthier she got, and she still couldn't get a divorce.
[Bonus Scene]
One night, Su Yuan angrily shook a certain man awake. Her gaze was dangerous. "I heard you're obsessed with your niece?"
The man sleepily rubbed Su Yuan's head. "That's right. Your niece's best friend counts as my niece too, doesn't she? There, go back to sleep."
Su Yuan bristled. "What best friend? She's my sworn enemy since kindergarten!"
He pulled her into his arms. "Yes, yes. And now you're her elder, so you can keep her in line forever. Doesn't that make you happy?"
