Me: Rich, Divorced, No Kids

When Zhao Fanni was twenty-five,

Lu Chengshi brought the first love he'd treasured for years before her and said, "Xiao Yi is pregnant. I have to take responsibility. Let's get divorced."

Zhao Fanni wouldn't take that lying down. She stepped forward and slapped him hard across the face. "You piece of trash, enough with the excuses. Fine, let's divorce, but I want fifty million in emotional damages."

Lu Chengshi came from humble beginnings. He was a highly educated, charismatic, and brilliant academic who built a listed company worth tens of billions from scratch. He was a rising tycoon and a hot commodity among the upper class.

People in their circle said Cinderella Zhao Fanni wasn't good enough for Lu Chengshi. She'd gotten lucky by marrying a promising man early and earning herself the title of Mrs. CEO. Once Zhao Fanni became a discarded wife, people would call her stupid, too. She'd never find another man this good, and she'd have plenty of time to regret not holding on to him.

Lu Chengshi knew her all too well. All this woman knew how to do was threaten to live or die. Even if she agreed to divorce today, she'd keep pestering him tomorrow.

He never expected that the day after they signed the papers, he would see Zhao Fanni walking down the street hand in hand with a handsome college student, both of them beaming with happiness.

She was using the alimony he gave her to keep a young hottie!

A college boy has three treasures: few words, capable hands, and great skills in bed.

As soon as Zhao Fanni got divorced, she asked her best friend to introduce her to a male college student.

Alex Xu posted on Moments:

My best friend: wealthy, divorced, no kids.

Seeking a male companion. Must be a male college student, healthy, over 180 cm, long legs and abs, high stamina and energy, inexperienced and not a player. Based in Beijing. No long-distance relationships.

If interested, message me privately with a photo.

Three minutes later, her phone buzzed with a notification.

[Bro, one of my classmates is interested.]

The message was from his younger brother, Xu Song, a sophomore at one of the country's top universities. He was quiet and aloof.

Alex Xu had lived abroad for years. Apart from the occasional brief greeting, his younger brother almost never reached out to chat.

Alex Xu was surprised and slowly typed, "?" Why was his younger brother suddenly interested in his best friend's love life?

Xu Song: [Bro, send me the rich woman's contact info.]

Alex Xu: [Little bro, send me a picture of your classmate first. Let me have a look.]

Xu Song: [...]

His long fingers scrolled through Moments for a while. Two minutes later, he sent over a picture.

Alex Xu: [He's pretty handsome. He doesn't look straight, though. Are you sure he's into women?]

Xu Song: [Yes.]

Alex Xu: [All right, maybe I got the wrong impression.]

During college, Zhao Fanni's personal studio began to take off. She once returned to her high school as an outstanding alumnus to give a speech. Xu Song, who was still a high school student at the time, watched her from afar.

After that, she became a secret he couldn't bring himself to speak aloud--

Time is precious, yet you keep sinking into this illusory, dying feeling of loving someone you can't have, a feeling you can't speak of.

There's no future for you, and your paths don't cross. Is there a kind of beauty in that regret?

It doesn't seem so. Being emotionally entangled with someone isn't a pleasant feeling.

This is a story about her sleeping with him, while he loves her.

The heroine is in a marriage of convenience.
