Jing Mengyao × Ling Yu
Gentle, educated, celibate beauty from a third-generation wealthy family × Refined, depraved man with a seductive, calculating air
*
During university, Jing Mengyao and Ling Yu jointly owned a tech company. Just when she trusted him most, he chose a path that alienated him from everyone, and that was how he made his fortune.
Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, Ling Yu lacked for nothing. Jing Mengyao had no shortage of money or love, and life always gave her another roll of the dice. So although she disapproved of Ling Yu's actions, she forgave him easily, like setting aside a piece of furniture she'd bought by mistake. She voluntarily left the company, sold her shares, and flew across the ocean to continue her studies and earn her doctorate, thinking she'd never see Ling Yu again.
Five years later, however, she brought herself back to his negotiating table.
"I need a marriage," Jing Mengyao said. "For one year. You can name your terms."
This wasn't a plea for help. It was a conspiracy. It wasn't old love. It was business. That's what she told herself.
Ling Yu looked at her with a gaze as calm as if he were reviewing a financial report: cool, precise, and devoid of personal feeling.
"Marriage is a liability to me," he said. "It adds unnecessary obligations, creates risks in the company's shareholding structure, and lets every little disturbance affect the company's valuation. I don't need a wife, not at this stage, and not in the future either."
He paused just long enough for the air to turn still. Then, in the next instant, he suddenly smiled.
"But I can agree," he said, "if you accept my terms."
"For this year, you must live somewhere I can see you." A hint of amusement slowly surfaced in Ling Yu's eyes, and his voice was almost gentle. "Every day. Breakfast, dinner, before bed. I want you within my sight."
"That's the price of using me."

I hope Xie Yuan and Princess can appear in this book, I love them both so much
Why is the style so... Soft compared to the previous book? I feel that it is much more restrained than Princess Disease. I don't know if it is because of the character of the heroine of this book that the style has changed. It even gives me a feeling of a translator. So I always feel that the challenging job that my wife mentioned on Weibo is to work as a translator in a publishing house?
How long will I need to take leave? [Covering face, laughing and crying]
Please teacher, please update the article quickly?
When I looked at the bookshelf, I suddenly realized: What a big boy [changed]
This writing style is stiff, not as lively as the one about Princess Disease. Looking forward to the follow-up.
Why haven't you updated or told me what's going on?
It has the same background as Princess Disease. Come back soon for an update.
Why isn't this updated?
The heroine obviously has a crush on the hero without knowing it. Otherwise, why can she easily forgive the hero for his past betrayal? After they reunited, she became very close to him and never refused him. She even wanted to use the hero as a fake marriage partner. In that era, there were still such dramas as fake marriages. Didn't the heroine know that this would have more intersections with the hero? And even if they were fake marriages, they would have to get a certificate, hold a wedding, and live together. This is exactly what the hero wants. The heroine looks like a cold, stupid beauty on the outside.
