As an omega from the slums, Shen Yi had a beautiful face. Fortunately, his nasty personality spared him a lot of trouble.
Xie Shixiu was the most eligible bachelor in the upper city, an untouchable beauty who seemed to follow a perfectly designed program and had never made a single mistake.
When Shen Yi learned that the amnesiac man he'd picked up was Xie Shixiu, only two words came to mind.
Jackpot!
Shen Yi fed and pampered Xie Shixiu until his memories returned. Then he waited at home, but the millions in compensation never arrived. Instead, he got a marriage contract.
The tall, aloof man looked down at the omega before him, whose expression was soft and innocent, and handed him a marriage contract.
Shen Yi gripped the thick contract and looked up at him. His face was delicate, and the tip of his nose was red. "Are you crazy? You know I can't read. Explain what this means. Is it a reward for helping you? How much?"
Xie Shixiu: "..."
"We'll be married under contract for one year. I'll give you one million a month. We'll put on an act in public, and when the contract ends, I'll give you another thirty million."
Shen Yi's eyes lit up. He asked urgently, "Great, great, great! Are we getting married now? The marriage bureau closes in three hours. What are you waiting for? Let's go!"
Everyone said Xie Shixiu's little wife wasn't good enough for him. The omega from the slums had nothing going for him but his face. They laughed and sighed, saying that even the famous Mr. Xie had made a mistake somewhere along the way, leaving behind a permanent blemish on his life.
At a party, Shen Yi said to Xie Shixiu, "I got twenty pairs of socks for 4.99 yesterday. Pretty impressive, right?"
"Mm."
"You said you'd take me to that new rooftop garden everyone loves once I finished reading the chronicles! I'm done. Can we go now?"
"Mm."
The guests sneered to themselves. What a low-class thing. Let's see how long Mr. Xie can put up with him.
Then a sharp slap rang out.
Shen Yi scowled and snapped, "You're so tight-lipped you couldn't force a word out of yourself with a crowbar. Can you say anything besides 'mm'?"
Disbelieving gazes turned their way, discreetly observing the red mark on Xie Shixiu's face. They were all waiting for Shen Yi to be thrown out in tears.
Instead, Xie Shixiu simply put an arm around his little wife's waist. He swept a cold gaze over everyone present, then coaxed him gently. "Let's go now."
No one saw the tips of Xie Shixiu's ears turn red beneath his black hair, or the smile of secret delight tugging at his lips.
They called him foolish, shallow, and obsessed with money.
So he was glad his foolishness made it possible to charm him, and glad he had enough money to make sure he would never leave.
