[*] Complete
[*] The heroine will not go bankrupt, and there will be no groveling to win back her husband.
[*] Happy ending
The first time Jiang Jin saw Xie Rongyu was at a dimly lit club. Amid the clamor of the room, he alone sat quietly with his head bowed, sipping tea. He seemed utterly out of place, cold and lonely from head to toe.
She knew his family was on the verge of bankruptcy, and his mother was gravely ill with little hope of recovery.
She walked over and sat beside him. "Is there anything I can do to help you?"
Jiang Jin's way of helping him was to offer him a marriage contract.
"I'll help you make a comeback, and I'll divorce you when the time is right. Sign this agreement, and a bright future will be within your reach."
Golden light caught on Xie Rongyu's eyelashes, lending him a saintly air. "Why are you helping me?"
Jiang Jin gazed steadily at his face and said nothing.

Everyone in Licheng's high society said that Miss Jiang had to be crazy. She had spent a fortune buying herself a wolf in sheep's clothing. He'd surely repay her kindness by biting her hard one day!
Only Jiang Jin didn't take it to heart.
She loved his face, loved him in a white shirt and black pants, and loved the woody perfume he wore.
On the day they divorced, Xie Rongyu had already made his comeback. He wore a black shirt, and the scent on him was no longer a soft, woody fragrance.
Seeing how he was dressed, Jiang Jin furrowed her brow slightly and spoke gently. "That doesn't look good on you."
Xie Rongyu grabbed her wrist and asked coldly, "Because it doesn't make me look like him?"
--- Next novel: Ebony and Tuberose
To survive in the wealthy Lu family, Li Zheng, who was living under their roof, set her sights on the family's sole heir and most distinguished future patriarch, Lu Yuheng.
She deliberately made herself seem gentle, beautiful, and obedient, becoming exactly the kind of woman he liked and doing everything he said.
Her efforts paid off.
Late one night, Li Zheng wore a dark green silk nightgown and knocked on his door with trembling hands.
Lu Yuheng's indifferent gaze swept over her. The famously cold and aloof Mr. Lu did not send Li Zheng away.
After that night, Li Zheng's standing in the Lu family rose sharply. Lu Yuheng became her shield, and no one dared to bother her again.
But using someone is not the same as loving them.
On the day of their grand wedding, Li Zheng left without a word. The bride had run away, shocking the whole city.
★
She returned to City A four years later.
Li Zheng had grown strong enough to take the opportunity to reclaim her father's business.
By then, Lu Yuheng had a beautiful companion by his side.
She was stunning, dazzling, and seemingly perfect, except that her features bore a slight resemblance to Li Zheng's.
Everyone in their circle said that woman was Li Zheng's replacement.
Theme: Love takes time to cultivate and requires a lifetime of growing together.
I thought it was pretty good at first, but after watching the male protagonist's perspective, it's hard not to feel chilled and alert. He used love to trap a free soul.
Don't tell me, the male protagonist's attitude of having everything in his hands is a bit scary
Where did Jian Jia get the confidence to dare to provoke Jin Jin?
This is too arrogant of oneself. Asking the landlady to make coffee? Nice looking, sprinkle flowers
Good-looking, charming, I like this kind of male protagonist
If you want me to tell you, the male protagonist, you should accept it as soon as you see fit, and don't forget the favor that the female protagonist did to you back then.
Why are they repeated in the next two chapters?
Dog man, ignorant
Lin really doesn't deserve it. It's not that he's not smart, he's just too stupid! I would like to give the author a polite suggestion. Next time when you create the second male lead, try not to make him too low. It is best to be clean physically and mentally. He can be bad but not low, stupid or vicious. Otherwise, I really feel that the heroine's love for him is really below the standard and class.
Second man, you are really disgusting
