[Updates at 9 p.m.] Refined, depraved older tycoon x pretty, high-maintenance young master
Xiang Ning had just graduated and returned home when news broke that he was to be married into a wealthy old-money family.
Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, the young master had been doted on by his parents and adored by his older brother. He'd grown up spoiled and high-maintenance, so naturally he wanted nothing to do with this arranged marriage.
But before he could refuse, Xiang Ning unexpectedly discovered that he was living in a book.
And his future spouse was Lu Heng, the story's ultimate villain!
The villain was sinister, cold-blooded, and vindictive. Resentful over Xiang Ning's refusal, he would unleash a vicious vendetta against the Xiang family.
Xiang Ning himself would meet a miserable end, buried at sea.
Worst of all, the story had already reached the point where the villain was coming to the Xiang family's company to propose the marriage.
Xiang Ning: I'll marry him! I'll marry the villain!
A heated argument was underway in the conference room. Xiang Ning, furious, pushed open the door and rushed in. "Big Brother, I'm gay, and I want to marry Lu Heng!"
The business negotiations with the Lu Group had reached an impasse, and Xiang Zeyang was trying to secure an extra one percent stake. His vision went black.
What do you mean, gay? Who do you want to marry? Saying that in front of your brother, Xiang Ning? Do you think I'm dead?
At the negotiating table, the refined, noble-looking man lazily lifted his eyes and let his gaze fall on the pretty young man's face across from him. His thin lips curved into a smile. "President Xiang is composed and mature. Your younger brother, on the other hand, is... cheerful and lively."

Successfully marrying Lu Heng was only the beginning of Xiang Ning's efforts to change the original story.
To prevent the Xiang family's tragic ending, Xiang Ning studied business warfare techniques all night, determined to bankrupt Lu Heng's company as soon as possible.
Step one: Find a chance to visit Lu Group's headquarters and pour boiling water on the money tree in Lu Heng's office!
Step two: Attend a dinner with Lu Heng and his business partners, sneak into the kitchen, and deliberately order a table full of vegetarian dishes!
Step N: Spend all the couple's shared marital assets, leaving Lu Heng with nothing after the divorce!

Xiang Ning diligently carried out his business warfare plans until one day, he suddenly came to his senses. He hadn't awakened to some hidden truth. He'd simply confused a short drama with reality.
Lu Heng wasn't some heinous villain, either. He hadn't even brought up marriage when he'd first visited the company.
Remembering all the things he'd done since the wedding, Xiang Ning was so embarrassed his toes curled. He packed his things and fled in the middle of the night.
But his convenient husband was already blocking the entryway, veins bulging on the hand clutching the divorce papers.
As usual, the man lifted the corner of his lips in a smile, but his voice was as cold as ice. "Baby, where are you going?"
His tall figure leaned down, his ink-black eyes dark and devoid of light, with not a trace of a smile. "Weren't you planning to spend all your husband's money? Why do you suddenly want a divorce?"
Xiang Ning: [weak, pitiful, helpless.jpg]
H-help!
Extra scene:
Later, Lu Heng held his little wife in his arms, stroking the damp hair on his forehead. With endless patience, he personally taught him, bit by bit. "Since you want Lu Group to go bankrupt so badly, I'll teach you..."
"Good boy. You're doing great."
Xiang Ning's face turned bright red. He didn't dare look down, curling his toes in embarrassment, unable to say a word.
