Everyone knows that Fu Xilou, president of New Moon Tech, is the ex-boyfriend whom the eldest daughter of the Shen family dumped back when she was chasing money and status.
Now the tables have turned, and the Shen family is about to form a marriage alliance with the Fu family.
Everyone assumed Fu Xilou was marrying her for revenge. Some bored young heirs even made a bet:
How long until the pampered Shen Wangshu was crying as she got kicked out?
*
On their wedding night, Miss Shen slipped off her million-yuan pigeon-blood ruby ring and thought:
If Fu Xilou wants to make this marriage work, she'll put up with it.
But if he dares try anything, she'll... fight him to the death!
After a while, the bedroom door opened. The man, his expression cool and distant, tugged at his tie and strolled over at an unhurried pace.
As Shen Wangshu watched nervously, he reached out with his right hand and wrapped it around her slender waist.
The young heiress let out a startled cry and instinctively flung the ring at his face.
The next second, the man caught it effortlessly.
He placed it back in her palm, then spoke in an unhurried tone:
"Aren't rubies your favorite? You'd really throw one at me?"

Everyone thought Fu Xilou held a grudge against Shen Wangshu.
Only Fu Xilou knew what had happened the year they broke up.
The young woman had sweetly and seriously explained why they had no future:
"Shushu likes you a lot too, but you don't have any money. You can't collect rubies for Shushu, buy her a beautiful estate, let her take private jets on vacation, or open the art gallery she likes..."
"So we're not right for each other."
Back then, his voice had gone hoarse. He'd simply asked, "If one day I can do all that, will you be with me?"
Shen Wangshu thought for a moment, then nodded. "Okay."
For those words alone, Fu Xilou would gladly die for her.

[Bonus scene]
In the first month of Shen Wangshu and Fu Xilou's marriage, word had it that her gemstone wall had gained another two levels.
Young heir: It's all fake! Just wait and see!
In the second month, word had it that she now owned enough estates to line the whole way over to Hong Kong.
Young heir: That's absolutely impossible! Just wait and see!
In the sixth month, paparazzi finally captured her on camera:
Shen Wangshu, in a slip dress, angrily pushed open the villa's gate, her snowy-white face streaked with tears.
The young heir was overjoyed: Now I got it right!
But in the next clip, before she had even made it to the road, the man behind her had already caught up.
Fu Xilou, known in the business world for his cold, ruthless demeanor, was holding a blanket and carefully draping it over her. He was clearly humbling himself as he coaxed her.
Young heir: ?
Young heir: I was wrong to think I'd won. I lost across the board.
