It's So Great to Ride My Best Friend's Coattails

Ruan Leyou, a struggling migrant worker in Beijing, finally snapped on yet another late night when a deadline drove her to the brink. She resolutely threw in her resignation and latched onto her rich best friend, Shu Yun.

It was still a job, after all.

Her heartless boss offered a humiliating contract: a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan and a flexible schedule that meant working every other weekend.

But when Ruan Leyou "worked" for her best friend, she got 50,000 yuan in monthly spending money, lived in a thousand-square-meter mansion, and had more luxury goods than she could ever use.

Her verdict: "Working for your best friend saves you twenty years of struggle!"

Unexpectedly, an accident made Ruan Leyou her best friend's sister-in-law.

Ruan Leyou: "It's over..."

Shu Yun: "This is great!"

Before she could figure out what was going on, her best friend excitedly hugged her. "This is wonderful, Ruanruan! We're finally on the same household register!"

Shu Yun even declared, "I'll spoil my sister-in-law. My brother can get lost!"

Everyone who had been waiting to watch the two friends turn against each other: "Huh? You can do that?"

And just like that, the miserable, hard-luck worker Ruan Leyou became the eldest daughter-in-law of one of City A's top tycoon families. She and Shu Yun joined a family variety show together.

The top-tier star who should have stolen the spotlight, as well as the newly crowned Best Actor, were completely overshadowed by Ruan Leyou and her controversial best friend.

Who could have imagined that the notoriously bad-tempered heiress Shu Yun would ever give in to someone on camera?

"Ruanruan, don't be mad! I shouldn't have lied and said lemons were sweet. Don't ignore me!"

The troublemaking Shu Yun was subdued by Ruan Leyou in a second, with a slice of the same lemon her best friend was eating stuffed into her mouth. The heiress, who couldn't stand sour food, yelped and squealed. The two friends tussled together, leaving the audience in stitches.

When people mocked Ruan Leyou for not owning luxury goods, Shu Yun rented out an entire luxury boutique for her. Every new-season couture piece went straight into Ruan Leyou's wardrobe.

Countless viewers turned green with envy: "They're rich and happy. If I could live like them, I'd be willing to drive fancy cars and live in a villa too!"

Ruan Leyou and her best friend traveled the world, spending money they could never use up. Then one day, her supposedly deadbeat husband showed up.

The elegant, older man held his younger sister outside the door and looked at his wife with a hurt expression. "When are you coming home, Ruanruan? Can you stop leaving me alone in bed?"

Ruan Leyou waved away the jealousy in the air.

This was supposed to be an arranged marriage. How did you end up falling for me?

Theme: This is the sort of sugar daddy I want. Bliss!
