A Gentle Breeze Arrives

Marriage First, Love Later / Rebound Romance / The Long Road to Winning Her Back

Shu Qi × Meng Xianzhang

Professions: Interior Design × Investment Banking

1.

Shu Qi and Meng Xianzhang have been in a fake marriage for three years, and they have always played their parts perfectly.

All she has to do is pretend they're a loving couple, and she gets ten million a year from his trust fund. Who knew something this good could happen?

Her mother taught her how to do the math: if she can win her husband over, she'll get far more than a few million.

Shu Qi lies flat: The long game is too tiring. I'll just enjoy the moment.

Three years later, the princess returned to court, and only then did Shu Qi learn that even the Tin Man had a heart. It just belonged to someone else.

It turned out Meng Xianzhang had married her because she knew where to draw the line.

Shu Qi not only knew where to draw the line, she was also a meticulous calculator. She promptly made room for someone else, but she had one big concern: would she get the final divorce payment?

3.

That year, the business world was in turmoil.

The golden couple broke off their engagement and turned against each other. A marriage alliance between two wealthy families fell apart. A pharmaceutical giant and a financial mogul broke their pact. Stock charts started looking like electrocardiograms. The name of the game was heart-stopping excitement.

Shu Qi studied candlestick charts until she found herself in one, and was so startled she dropped her melon seeds. So she was the femme fatale after all.

The world has its own laws of cause and effect.

Some people crash while managing their money. Others crash while managing a marriage of convenience.

Meng Xianzhang suspected she'd bewitched him. He chased after her like a man possessed.
