[Marriage first, love later / The male lead has been plotting for a long time]
Scheming banker x sweet, gentle pet shop owner / Both virgins / Happy ending
P1
Xu Yuan was sweet and pretty, but she had a stutter.
Everyone around her looked down on her. Even her fiance stood her up on the day they were supposed to get engaged.
As if things weren't bad enough, she received a terminal diagnosis that very same day. She had only a month to live.
She'd never been in love, and had never been loved.
Looking at her meager savings, Xu Yuan made a decision
she wanted to find herself some “end-of-life care” before she died.
She had her eye on Sheng Yanshi, who went jogging nearby every morning.
He was tall, with striking features, and bore some resemblance to her male idol.
The little stutterer gathered her courage, clutching a bouquet as she stopped him. “C-could you b-be my...”
The man stopped and looked at her impassively.
Xu Yuan was so frightened she couldn't get the words out. All she could do was take out her little purse and reveal the pink bills inside. “I c-could p-pay you...”
But the man suddenly reached out.
He grabbed Xu Yuan by the arm, then smiled faintly, his eyes dark. “I can.”
P2
Sheng Yanshi pampered her for over half a month.
He taught her to ski and gently read her bedtime stories. The two of them even hit it off and got a marriage certificate.
But Xu Yuan knew that everything had been bought with her money.
Unexpectedly, half a month later, the hospital told her it had been a misdiagnosis.
Looking at her nearly empty savings, Xu Yuan suddenly realized that there were things in life more important than love!
She went to see him and unilaterally called off their arrangement.
But the man took off his gold-rimmed glasses and pressed down on the agreement for a few seconds before narrowing his eyes. “You can end it, but settle the balance first.”
Xu Yuan froze. “W-what?”
Sheng Yanshi picked up a pen and paper. “I can earn at least thirty thousand dollars a minute. I spent 21,600 minutes with you over half a month. Subtract the 160,000 you paid me, and the balance comes to 647.84 million.”
At the end, he smiled, though his eyes were cold. “So, do you think you can leave me?”
Sheng Yanshi had his eye on a little stutterer. Her round eyes made her look like a naive little animal. He even drove to her neighborhood every morning to jog, just so he could catch a glimpse of her.
But she had gone behind his back and gotten engaged to someone else.
Until one day, the young woman came to him and asked if he could be her boyfriend.
His little stutterer had walked right into his trap.
PS: The more nervous the female lead is, the more she stutters. She doesn't stutter when she sings.
A sweet romance, marriage first and love later. It might get a little dramatic, so read at your own discretion.
