I Spent Money to Break Up a Ship, Only to Sink My Own

[Rich Beauty x Outwardly Flirtatious, Secretly in Love with Him] [A Short Story, It Won't Be Long] The industry's two undisputed top-tier stars, Wen Jianru and Jiang Ziyuan, sent shockwaves through both their fanbases when news broke that they would be starring together in a TV drama. Casual onlookers were even more eager to get in on the gossip. Wen Jianru and Jiang Ziyuan first met at the drama's launch ceremony that morning. That evening, in the dressing room where they were alone together, she tossed a bank card onto the table. "Here's ten million. Stay away from my sister." Jiang Ziyuan had been leaning lazily against the back of his chair. When his gaze settled on the bank card containing ten million, his eyes flickered. He sat upright and looked up at Wen Jianru with barely concealed anticipation. "Sis, are you rich?" Wen Jianru thought of the astronomical figure in her bank account and her valuable shares, then nodded blankly. Seeing this, Jiang Ziyuan curled his lips. His dark green eyes shimmered with captivating light, and the beauty mark beneath the corner of his eye lent him an alluring, almost imperceptible charm. "Then, would you consider entering into a long-term arrangement with me, Sis?" Wen Jianru had never been able to stand that male vixen, Jiang Ziyuan. He relied on his good looks, and people were always saying he wanted to live off a rich woman, ruining her sister's reputation. She'd thrown money at him, confident in her wealth. But three months later, after Wen Jianru wrapped filming and was about to leave, Jiang Ziyuan knocked on her door that night. Leaning lazily against the doorframe, he tilted the corner of his eye, perfectly embodying the fans' assessment of him: a genuine male vixen. Jiang Ziyuan: "Sis, it's time to renew your subscription." His beauty was too tempting, and Wen Jianru's mind went blank. "What do you mean?" Jiang Ziyuan leaned closer and asked seductively, "Are you going to pay in installments or all at once?" Wen Jianru: "What do you mean?" Jiang Ziyuan lowered his eyes with a smile, his voice husky and sexy. "Are you planning to pay me off every year, or just keep me for the rest of my life?" Wen Jianru swallowed and pushed his handsome face away with difficulty. "...Then I'll keep you for the rest of your life." Female lead: At first, I really just wanted him to get away from my sister.

Suddenly, she laughed. Gu Baiche was her husband, at least in name. After narrowly escaping death and returning, she learned that the world was a cheesy transmigration-into-a-book romance novel, and that she was the male lead's original wife. She was supposed to die before their reunion, and readers called her the most perceptive background character ever. Fine. In that case, she wouldn't pretend anymore. On the day the variety show premiered, over five million viewers had made reservations, almost crashing the livestream. Just as netizens prepared to look for sweet moments amid all the angst, they discovered that... Cheng Cheng's mysterious, never-before-seen husband was actually Huo Yu, the CEO of AC Technology and a highly sought-after business heartthrob. He was fawning over Sheng Wan and rushing to carry her bag. "Senior, I had no idea you'd be here too! About that proposal last time..." And Li Xi, the top-tier actor who had been kept secret as one of the show's celebrity guests, nearly spat out his water when he first saw Sheng Wan. After the first episode, he volunteered to switch from a guest appearance to a permanent role. His reason: to watch the boss tear the scumbag apart! Just as expected, the show became a huge hit, and advertisers lined up to get involved. But what left the director most baffled was... Why did influential bigwigs keep applying to join a divorce-themed variety show midway through filming?! Seriously, did every bigwig these days have marital problems?
