◆ The male lead and everyone on his side dote on the heroine (He is Gu Beichen's son, after all. This family knows how to spoil their own. For his parents' love story, see the completed novel Kiss of the Southern Branch.)

Lin Wuli was born into a family that favored sons over daughters to an extreme degree.

Her parents were controlling, and her brother always put himself first.

Though she worked hard, graduated from a prestigious university, and landed a job at the Gu Group, a company everyone envied,

she still couldn't escape the shackles of her family and lived a deeply stifled life.

On her twenty-fourth birthday, she made a wish on the company's terrace:

“I hope I can buy a house and move out within a year.”

“Forget it, that's impossible. Then I'll wish to save enough for next year's living expenses and rent within a year, and move out as soon as I find a place to rent.”

After making her wish, she thought of how absurdly high the rent was in Lincheng and quietly added, “It'd be even better if I had someone to split the rent with.”

She never imagined that the day after making her wish, she would be sitting in the CEO's office,

with her birthday wish coming true ahead of schedule: within a year, she had found a man with a home (a huge villa) and a car (a luxury vehicle worth over a million), who was willing to split the rent with her (though there was no rent to split), and she could move out within twenty-four hours!

Lin Wuli stared in disbelief at Gu Qingce, the group's CEO, sitting across from her.

With a cool expression, Gu Qingce slid an agreement toward her.

“My younger sister has someone she wants to marry and is in a hurry to wed. Our family has a rule that the eldest son must marry before she can hold her wedding. I need you to help me out. Sign here, and the ten million in this account is yours.”

Lin Wuli: I'll sign!!!!!

His younger sister, Fu Qingci, was utterly baffled. “Our family has a rule like that? Aren't we the most open-minded family around?”
