Less than half a month after registering, Tang Yihan was chatting with a friend at a bar. Her friend looked at her with a gossipy grin and teased, "Has that beautiful wife of yours done this and that with you yet?" Tang Yihan merely glanced at her and shook her head. Her friend looked incredulous. "I refuse to believe she doesn't have those kinds of thoughts about you." Tang Yihan looked at the friend beside her. "She wouldn't." Leng Yunli certainly wouldn't do that, and definitely wouldn't have those kinds of thoughts. Her friend was shocked. "How can she not even know how to do that? She's almost thirty!" Leng Yunli, who had accidentally overheard them from nearby: ... Blurb 2. "Something's come up at the company, so I have to go on a business trip. I won't be back for the next couple of days." "Mm."

I can keep you company and chat. My only requirement is that you remember to send the money every month. Don't bother if you're not gullible." Jiang Yumian posted it to her social media and went straight to sleep. When she woke up, she found several private messages on her phone. Jing: "Would I do?" Jing: "How much do you want a month? Or what's the minimum?" Jiang Yumian: ? She hadn't expected anyone to actually fall for it. There wasn't even a name attached, so she had no idea who the other person was. Jiang Yumian: "Sure. One hundred thousand a month, and WeChat is all I need." She figured the other person was just messing with her and wouldn't really send her money. Who could be that gullible? She was soon dumbfounded when one transfer notification popped up, followed by another. Jing: "I can only transfer fifty thousand at a time, so I sent it in two installments." Jing: "I'll also get you a family card, but I think the limit is only five thousand. Sorry." Jiang Yumian: Sorry!? Her rich sponsor was apologizing to her? If she had to hear her say it again, it would mean Jiang Yumian wasn't doing her job properly! Jiang Yumian: "All right, big sis. We can chat about anything you like. I'm always available, though I'm going to be on a livestream variety show in a few days, so I might not be able to reply right away." Anyone with her WeChat would know who she was. After all, she posted on social media every few days, and she was thriving in the entertainment industry. Blurb 2: Jiang Yumian: "Do you watch variety shows, big sis?" Jing: "Why?" Jiang Yumian: "There's a female guest with the same surname as you. She's a Best Actress, and she's more famous than me." Jing: "You... don't like her?" Jiang Yumian: "I do! I really, really like her! She's my idol. I just wanted to tell you so you wouldn't misunderstand. I mean, I only like her the way a fan likes an idol!" Jing: "She's your idol? Then that's fine. But what do you like about her?" Jiang Yumian: "So many things! I'll tell you all about them!" Blurb 3: After her family had restricted her access to money, Jiang Yumian was finally free to spend as she pleased. She ran into Jing Xiaoyan being humiliated by a drunk investor, and boldly stepped in to save her. Jing Xiaoyan thanked Jiang Yumian softly as she watched her chase the man away. Jiang Yumian: "Don't mention it. If you ever get into trouble, just call me. My family has a lot of influence." Jing Xiaoyan laughed at her. A little embarrassed, Jiang Yumian waved and walked farther away, then quickly shared the news with her rich sponsor. She excitedly sent a voice message: "Big sis, I just played the hero and rescued a beauty!" "What's it like to sponsor someone, big sis? Sigh... If I didn't dislike that whole casting-couch thing, with my family's connections, I'm not bragging, but I'd totally want to sponsor her." Jing Xiaoyan stood behind her, saw the two voice messages pop up on her phone, and deliberately patted her on the back. "You said you wanted to sponsor me?" Jiang Yumian was too scared to turn around: !!! She was joking! Jing Xiaoyan added, "It's not entirely out of the question..." Jiang Yumian: Getting farther and farther along the road to public humiliation Jing Xiaoyan: This is a story about me sponsoring her, and her sponsoring me.
