(I)

In middle school, Ye Songzhen and Qi Yu were sworn rivals.

Their grades were neck and neck, and they were always right beside each other in the rankings, chasing and competing in an endless back-and-forth. They compared themselves over everything under the sun, afraid the other might get the upper hand.

But life is full of surprises. Ye Songzhen did poorly on the college entrance exam and failed to get into a university. Qi Yu, meanwhile, smoothly received his admission letter from Tsinghua University and basked in glory.

Fueled by wounded pride, Ye Songzhen deleted Qi Yu’s contact information without a word and went all the way to Canada to study. They never crossed paths again.

(II)

Ye Songzhen came from Toronto to Beijing for an internship and unexpectedly ran into Qi Yu. She didn’t recognize him, but he recognized her.

After all these years, Qi Yu was doing extremely well. In casual conversation, he would almost imperceptibly let slip his salary, stocks, dividends, and real estate... Enough to make anyone green with envy.

Ye Songzhen complained to a friend, “That guy’s picking on me again.”

Her friend said, “Is it possible he’s just showing off for you?”

▲Reader’s Guide▲

1. They reunite right at the start. The blurb is from the heroine’s perspective; the hero’s perspective appears later.

2. The heroine’s poor performance on the college entrance exam is the story’s starting point, and everything unfolds from there. If that’s not for you, please don’t read! Her score was only enough for a 985 university, not one of the top two. She doesn’t have to be the best for everyone to love her. If you want stories where the heroine does exceptionally well or gets her usual results on the entrance exam, please visit the author’s page. That’s all they write!

[Coming soon: Born with Princess Syndrome. Marriage first, love later. Mr. and Mrs. Smith.]

Zhang Jiyao is the only daughter of the richest man in the country. She grew up spoiled, surrounded by luxury, and everything always went her way. The biggest setback in her life was marrying Zhou Jingci.

Zhou Jingci comes from a family of scholars and naturally looks down on the antics of a spoiled heiress.

Zhang Jiyao understands that this marriage, forced upon them, is just an act, with each of them getting what they want.

After the wedding, they keep out of each other’s way. That is, until the senior Zhang Jiyao once had a crush on returns from overseas. She decides to divorce Zhou Jingci.

Zhang Jiyao says, “Pick whatever you want. You can take it with you when we divorce.”

Houses, cars, stocks... She has plenty of money.

Zhou Jingci asks, “Really?”

Zhang Jiyao nods.

Zhou Jingci pulls her into his arms and murmurs, “Then what color body bag do you like?”

Zhang Jiyao: “?”
