The Spoiling Period

1, Shijing had been spending money like water since she was little. When her family went bankrupt during college, her parents could no longer let her splurge to her heart’s content. It was easy to go from frugality to luxury, but hard to go back. Shijing was so troubled she wore a permanent frown. Luckily, her rich childhood sweetheart was willing to support her. For all four years of college, she ate his food, lived in his home, and spent his money, returning to her lavish lifestyle. After graduation, she went out into the world and tried to make it on her own for a while, only to realize that her habit of spending money like water was a psychological problem that needed treatment! She decisively broke up with her boyfriend and set out on the bright path of earning her own living. Three years later, at a company party, Jiang Xian appeared in a suit. He had shed his youthful awkwardness and grown into a mature, steady man. His tall frame cornered her in the hallway as he looked down at her. “Shijing, whose money have you been spending all these years without me?” 2, Jiang Xian had known since childhood that he wanted to spoil Shijing. He liked her and wanted to marry her when they grew up. From kindergarten on, he handed over all his New Year’s money to her. In middle school, he gave Shijing all his living expenses and kept only enough for his own meals. When Shijing’s family went bankrupt during college, he did everything he could to make money so he could keep funding her extravagant lifestyle. He realized he might have spoiled her rotten. On his birthday, he eagerly hoped Shijing would celebrate with him. Instead, she sent him a message: “Send me money.” When he got sick and was hospitalized, he hoped Shijing would come keep him company. She didn’t even ask how he was feeling. She just sent him two words: “Where’s the money?” Apart from asking him for money, Shijing ignored him completely. But after graduation, she went her own way, telling him she would earn her own money and spend it herself from now on. They met again three years later. He had become the highly respected Mr. Jiang. Looking at Shijing, he said, “I’m even richer than before. Spend as much as you want.” Shijing said, “I don’t waste money anymore. I only buy the cheapest things now.” His gaze darkened as he pleaded, “Then waste my feelings instead. My sincere love isn’t worth much, anyway.” Reader’s Guide and Content Warnings: ① The male lead is chaste in both body and heart, and devoted to one person throughout.
