The Jiang family goes bankrupt, and Jiang Baoshu can't stand the thought of living like a poor person. She agrees to her family's demand and marries Tan Jiang, the famously frigid head of the Tan family.
After the wedding, Jiang Baoshu unilaterally lays down three rules.
"A kiss costs 100,000. One night of married life costs a million. Did you just look at me suggestively? I'll let it slide this time, but from now on, you'll be charged by the second for sneaking glances!"
She holds out her hand to Tan Jiang. "Now pay me for our wedding night! It's a joyous occasion, so the price should be doubled, right? Two million."
Seeing Tan Jiang sign the contract without hesitation, Jiang Baoshu thinks she can finally go back to a life where she never has to worry about food or money. But the very next day, Tan Jiang moves into a separate room, and Jiang Baoshu's plan to make money falls through instantly.
With her little stash of savings getting dangerously low, Jiang Baoshu sneaks into Tan Jiang's bed in the middle of the night and kisses her. She even takes a picture to blackmail her. "100,000. A kiss from me counts too."

For the sake of making money, Jiang Baoshu never turns back from taking the initiative. After each time, she sees the deposit notification on her card and only then grins as she nestles into Tan Jiang's arms and asks for aftercare.
A few years later, the Jiang family is back on its feet. Jiang Baoshu hands over a divorce agreement, determined to end this loveless, sexless marriage built on money.
Tan Jiang places a signed contract in front of her. Jiang Baoshu scans it, nearly swooning as if a shower of gold has fallen from the sky.
The words "belongs to Jiang Baoshu" appear so many times in the contract that she starts having second thoughts about ending this affectionless marriage.
Don't doubt her loyalty to money!
"How could our relationship be measured in cold, hard cash?" She briskly tears up the divorce agreement and gives Tan Jiang a big kiss on the cheek. "I... I do!"
That night, the contract is propped up at the head of the bed. Jiang Baoshu endures Tan Jiang's kisses and finally spots the tiny, blurry line at the very bottom:
Married life together doubles in proportion.
Jiang Baoshu sobs and curses, "This is fraud! I want a divorce!"
The woman coaxes her by the ear. "It's the first night of our renewed marriage. It's a joyous occasion, so let's double the time."
For the money! I, Jiang Baoshu, will endure this!
