Lin Huaiqiu is in love.
The problem is, her boyfriend comes from an ordinary family, and her parents definitely won't approve of them being together.
But Chinese people have always liked to find a compromise.
Her boyfriend comes from an ordinary family, so her parents are sure to object. But if she brings home a boyfriend whose parents are both dead, who has nothing to his name and is so poor he can barely afford to eat, then her parents will be happy to let her date someone from an ordinary family.
So she went to a friend who worked as an agent and asked them to find someone who fit the bill. The gig paid ten thousand yuan.
"He has to be handsome. I may be a hopeless romantic, but I'm not blind."
The young heiress said this with complete seriousness.

My parents are both dead, I have nothing to my name, and the only things I have going for me are my handsome face and my one-meter-ninety height. Everything I'm wearing costs less than a hundred yuan combined, and I bought it all online for 6.88 yuan.
I look poor from head to toe.
I took the job out of consideration for my agent friend. When I arrived, the first thing I saw was a gorgeous red sports car.
My rich heiress boss sat in the passenger seat wearing a pair of Chanel sunglasses that covered half her face. She looked me up and down, lifted her elegant chin, and told me to drive.
We arrived at a cafe, where an elegant, well-dressed lady was waiting.
The rich heiress took off her sunglasses and suddenly clung to my arm. Her beautiful eyes turned red, and tears the size of beans rolled down one after another as her soft, fluffy hair brushed against my stiff shoulder.
She choked out, "Mom, no matter what you say, I'm going to be with him."
The lady turned livid with rage, stood up, and splashed her coffee right in my face.
Me: No wonder this gig pays ten thousand.
I knew the rich heiress had only hired me to put on a show. She had a real boyfriend. After she got coffee thrown in my face, she paid me another ten thousand. I took my twenty thousand and watched her lean against the car window, smiling at me with crescent-shaped eyes as she said goodbye and promised to hire me for a few more acts in the future.
Her boyfriend sat in the driver's seat, leisurely playing on his phone, as if he didn't care at all.
The rich heiress really does have terrible taste, I thought. But we were only in a business relationship, so I had no standing to say anything.
Later, my job was done.
I heard that the rich heiress's family still wouldn't accept her and her boyfriend. In a fit of anger, she eloped with him and said they'd get married in two months.
Some time later, a familiar figure was squatting outside my rental apartment.
I sighed, crouched down to meet his eyes, and brushed the hair stuck to his cheek aside.
"Did you break up?"
Lin Huaiqiu raised her tear-damp face, eyes red.
"Yin Sheng, he called me stupid. He said he wouldn't have liked me if I didn't have money. My brother froze my cards, and I have nowhere to go."

Can a poor guy marry a rich heiress?
Yes, he can, as long as he's handsome, tall, and persistent. Most importantly, the heiress has to like being a love-struck, pampered wife.
