The young master has plenty of money, but all he wants is plenty of love.
Yuan Zhao wants lots of money, and she'll do anything for it.
So she and the young master are a match made in heaven. During their one-year contract, she gives him her love without holding back.
*
When the year is up, Yuan Zhao takes her three million and leaves without hesitation. She now has startup capital, her company has grown, and her grandmother has recovered. She's practically a winner in life. The only downside is that the young master has gone bankrupt, fallen from the clouds to the depths of despair.
On an ordinary rainy day, the young master comes to her door, hesitant to speak, soaked through and dripping. Like an expensive cat that's been abandoned, he looks pitifully at her and begs her to take him in.
As if possessed, Yuan Zhao hears herself say, "Su Muxia, I have lots of money," and lots of love, too.
What Yuan Zhao doesn't know is that the young master saw her long ago and fell in love at first sight. But he's bad with words and too proud to admit his feelings, so he chooses a foolish way to keep her by his side.
"I'll enter the game myself and willingly become a prisoner, a lowly captive."
A strong, gentle, and deviously clever heroine x a proud little kitten of a hero, a man with terminal lovesickness
P.S.
1: The male lead is spoiled and fussy. At first, the heroine is gentle with everyone, but later, once she understands her own heart, she dotes only on him.
2: No groveling, no role reversal. A bittersweet romance with a happy ending, and some angst for the male lead along the way (a little angst is good for the soul).
Theme: An unconventional romance
