Pei Xi never imagined she was the heroine of a melodramatic Hong Kong romance about getting pregnant and running away!
Before the divorce, she traps the wealthy male lead, all so she can have one complete night with a man who doesn't love her.
After conceiving triplets, she doesn't even register them as Hong Kong residents. She promptly flees with the children, takes a huge divorce settlement overseas to live in seclusion, and waits miserably for the male lead to find her three years later and begin his redemption arc.
In the end, she becomes a laughingstock whom the Hong Kong media can't stop reporting on.
Three years after Pei Xi awakens to the truth, she's used that money as start-up capital and become the chairwoman of an overseas corporation.
She's on vacation in Miami, looking gorgeous, with two boys and a girl by her side.
Genius babies?
No!
The three little ones are a little schemer, a little yandere, and a little control freak. Besides acting cute to compete for attention, they can't do anything else. Their daily schemes and infighting are like something out of a palace-intrigue drama, and they're impossible to deal with!
That same day, the male lead, the eldest son of Hong Kong's Huo family, shows up.
According to the plot, the heroine should slap the male lead and say, "Do you know how hard it was to give birth to them all by myself?"
But Pei Xi looks at Huo Jingting and says, "Sorry, I borrowed your sperm three years ago. Can I make it up to you?"
Next, according to the plot, the male lead should throw a huge sum of money at her to buy out his rights to the three children's custody.
But the real Huo Jingting coughs twice. "Sorry, someone stole my wallet on the flight here. Can I work for you to earn enough for a ticket home?"
Pei Xi stares at him for three seconds, then laughs. "The eldest son of the Huo family is short on airfare?"
Huo Jingting says slowly, "I lost the family heir contest."
Pei Xi: ???
Pei Xi does the math. A nanny for the three little darlings would cost 600,000 a month. Hiring him is much cheaper, and he's their biological father, so he has a natural advantage.
Gradually, she discovers that the down-on-his-luck Huo Jingting is different from before. He's becoming more and more of a devoted family man, well-read and compassionate, the kind of gentle gentleman who can even discipline children without making them feel bad.
The little schemer pretends to cry for attention, and he sees through it in gentle Cantonese.
The little yandere pretends to be sick to get attention, and he cooks medicinal dishes and Cantonese dim sum.
The little control freak tries to manage Mommy's social life, and he reaches an agreement with them in just a few words.
That way, they'll be even.
When they return to China, Pei Xi will pay him a generous salary, and they'll part on good terms. From then on, if the children want to visit their father in Hong Kong during the holidays, she'll help arrange the trips. That's all.
Until, while packing before their return, Pei Xi accidentally finds a black-and-white maid uniform in the nanny's room where Huo Jingting lives.
Pei Xi laughs. "You even got your own work uniform ready?"
She checks the label and sees it's her size.
Huo Jingting picks the children up from school as usual, and all three jump out of the car in perfect order.
"Here's the list of every man Mommy met today. Big Brother wants ten thousand Hong Kong dollars!"
"Mommy hasn't scolded Second Brother in three days. Second Brother wants next month's stock market predictions as a reward!"
"Hasn't Mommy figured it out yet? When will Little Brother finally get added to the Huo family tree and get to call him D-a-d-d-y?"
Gorgeous, sweet, clear-headed single mom of three × A black-bellied, cool, sophisticated gentleman who can host a dinner party, cook, and command a fortune
**
Not only does the heroine awaken, the hero does too, and he awakens to some kinks as well.
The male lead has always been rich, but he's very good at pretending otherwise in front of the heroine.
The three little ones aren't actually useless.
The heroine's motto: Men only slow down my draw speed.
