[Finicky, stunning heiress x jealous tycoon who built his fortune from scratch]
Rich heiress Xu Baozhi wakes up one day in the world of a period novel, where she's become a minor supporting character.
She still has that same peerlessly beautiful face, but her original self married a spinelessly filial man who handed his entire monthly salary to his parents. The dual-income household somehow ended up struggling to get by on scraps.
Xu Baozhi, who grew up with delicacies always on the table: ...I can't put up with this!
She promptly tells her spineless husband goodbye, gets a divorce, and that's that!
She takes their two well-behaved, sweet children with her, too!
She can't bear working three shifts at the textile factory, and she doesn't want to get up at dawn and stay out late running a street stall as a self-employed vendor. After thinking it over, Xu Baozhi decides to find herself and the kids another meal ticket.
The man staying next door seems like a good choice. He has straight brows and bright eyes, broad shoulders and a slim waist. His shirt is buttoned up to the collar, making him look restrained and aloof.
Beneath his wool coat are a pair of long legs, and on his wrist is an imported watch that can only be bought at the Overseas Chinese Friendship Store.
Xu Baozhi decides: He's the one!
What she doesn't expect is that he's a major figure in the period novel, someone even the main couple treats with reverence.
While everyone else is fretting over the cost of an expensive refrigerator, she and the kids move into a Western-style mansion, put on gold earrings, and even buy an imported color television.
Gemstone necklace? Buy it.
Seaside villa? Buy it.
Private jet? Buy it!
Her life is now thousands of times better than before!
Xu Baozhi presses her lips together in a smile.
She really did land herself a meal ticket she won't have to worry about for the rest of her life!

Thirty-year-old Zhou Yu cares about nothing but making money and making even more money. He has no interest in romance and openly scorns marriage.
Until an accident leads him to register his marriage with a woman named Xu Baozhi.
In Zhou Yu's eyes, Xu Baozhi is vain and greedy.
Only her captivating, peach-blossom eyes, with their rosy corners, are exceptionally beautiful.
...Especially when, by the flickering candlelight, she calls him a bastard in a tearful voice.
It makes him unable to hold back his desire to give himself to her completely.
It doesn't matter. She loves money, and luckily he has plenty. She's fussy, but he can spoil her.
He can even love the two kids she brought along, just because he loves her.
Except for that wretched man who keeps following his wife around, saying he regrets it and wants to marry her again.
Ex-husbands like that need to disappear!
