Here's the blurb:

A fake heiress who loves money more than life vs. a real benefactor with money to spare

The person Jiang Yin hated most in the world was Ji Xiangwan.

Back in school, Ji Xiangwan always outperformed her, leaving her to be mocked as the perennial runner-up.

Her biggest dream was to one day bury Ji Xiangwan under a pile of money and watch her fall from grace.

But before that day could come, Miss Jiang, adored by everyone, was exposed as a fake heiress and faced an arranged marriage.

She went to a bar to drown her sorrows and rail against the unfairness of fate. When she looked up, she saw a familiar face.

Ji Xiangwan swirled her glass, her voice cool. "I heard you don't want to marry that older woman your family picked for you. Want to consider marrying me instead? I'll give you two million a month after we marry."

Jiang Yin eyed her warily. "Are you crazy?"

Ji Xiangwan adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses and answered calmly, "My family elders are pressuring me to get married. After thinking it over, you're the only suitable choice."

Jiang Yin relaxed. Well, that works for me. A paid acting gig!

She held up five fingers and made an outrageous demand. "Five million."

"Deal."

For a five-million monthly salary, Jiang Yin bore the humiliation (and was overjoyed) as she signed away her freedom.

On the day they registered their marriage, she got the five million and immediately changed her tune:

"Keep the marriage secret. Don't make it public. I can't live this down."

"I'm the boss at home! You have to listen to me! I'm going to be number one!"

Ji Xiangwan looked at the fresh marriage certificate in her hand, a hint of amusement in her eyes. "All right. You can be number one."

After they married, Jiang Yin finally experienced the joy of having the number one under her thumb.

She did whatever she pleased and had the time of her life.

Until one night, after being so difficult that she was disciplined until the corners of her eyes turned red, Jiang Yin begged, "No more... I don't want to be number one anymore..."

The usually restrained Ji Xiangwan did something entirely out of character and whispered in her ear, "No, you can't."

"In my heart, you'll always come first."

Jiang Yin: ...Wait, this isn't how I imagined winning!
