She Can't Help Being Irresistible [Marriage Before Love]

Bright, clear-headed, money-making young woman x wealthy young master who says one thing but means another, and is utterly devoted to her

In her previous life, Ruan Fu worked four jobs to support her boyfriend through his PhD. Once he was successful, he decided she was past her prime and ran off with the woman he had always loved.

Poor Ruan Fu lost both her money and her man, abandoned and left all alone!

After she transmigrated, all she wanted was to lie flat.

Men? Not a chance!

Great idea, except she had less money than the face she showed the world, and she had somehow wound up with a cheap fiancé chosen for her as a child!

Her husband came from an illustrious family. He was aloof and cold-hearted, and a ruthless man no one dared provoke.

Unfortunately, the woman he had held in his heart for years had just climbed into the bed of his business rival. How could he possibly take that?

The unattainable only became an obsession.

From then on, the lovesick man drifted through life in a daze, much to the dismay of his family elders.

After much deliberation, the old master tapped his cane!

They would get Ruan Fu, who wasn't even married into the family yet, to save the day!

One day, the old master personally came to see her. He promised her a year: if she could make the family's playboy forget the woman in his heart and get back on the right path, she could ask for anything!

Ruan Fu's eyes darted about.

How could she let a scoundrel and his beloved ruin her life twice over?!

She held up two fingers. She wanted both money and freedom!

The old master gritted his teeth and slapped the table.

Deal!

But later! Hey! Nobody told her it would end up like this!

In this life, Ruan Fu

had studied abroad and learned opera. She was bright-eyed and beautiful, with rosy cheeks and a radiant smile that could take your breath away.

She was also the great-granddaughter-in-law personally selected by Old Master Li.

But in Li Yaizong's eyes, no matter how much people praised her, nothing could move the heart that had sworn never to love again.

So getting her to give up and back down became Second Master Li's daily assignment. He racked his brains for ways to do it.

[Housekeeping test] A Fu rolled up her sleeves, and even the Li family's most experienced steward couldn't stop praising her!

[Cooking test] She did the work of several cooks all by herself, and the dishes she made were so good you'd want to eat the plates too.

[Embroidery test] Her work rivaled that of professional embroiderers. People fought over her pieces so fiercely they trampled the threshold of the Li residence!

Second Master Li finally broke: "Ruan Fu, weren't you supposed to have gone abroad to study opera? Where did you learn all this random stuff?!"

Ruan Fu: "I'm no prodigy. I learned it all by working hard for money when I was a lovesick fool in my previous life!"

And later!

Before marriage] Second Master Li was cold and hard-hearted, a man who would kill even Buddha if he stood in his way. His portrait could scare children into silence at night.

After marriage] He was as gentle as jade, and even the way he looked at dogs was full of tender longing.

Before marriage] Second Master Li was sharp-minded, taciturn, and very capable.

After marriage] He was still very capable, and only wished he could call his darling wife "honey" two hundred times a day.

Before marriage] Old Master: "Be kinder to her. A Fu has had a hard life!"

Second Master Li: "I feel sorry for her! Who the hell feels sorry for me?!"

After marriage] Second Master Li: "Anyone who bullies my A Fu, get out here! Do you think I'm dead?!"

Old Master: "You little rascal, show some restraint!"

At first, the old master told Ruan Fu, "It's a win-win, and we'll all be happy. If you lose, I'll help you open a shop so you can support yourself. Either way, you won't be losing much."

Later, A Fu said, "This is such a headache! I'll pay. Who's going to help me get rid of this man?!"

Second Master Li wept: "Wife, I was wrong! Let's work together, my generous patron! Pick the money or the shop, anything you want. Just take me too!"

It turned out that bringing a powerful warlord to heel didn't take a single soldier. All it took was a little A Fu.
