What?! My Rough-Hewn Husband Is a Hidden Big Shot in This Period Novel

She was a sacrifice in the male lead's pursuit of true love, a poor wretch who turned grief into motivation, a lunatic obsessed with using money to humiliate the male lead, and a sourpuss who served to highlight the heroine's gentleness and magnanimity.

Xu Qinghuan: “Wait, are they talking about me?”

Xu Qinghuan transmigrated into a book, a period novel written by her best friend. Her father had died early, her mother had remarried, and she'd been raised in her second uncle's home.

Her cousin was entangled with her fiancé?

“Break off the engagement. Who wants that two-timing flirt? Whoever wants him can have him!”

Her birth mother was using a job to hold her hostage?

So what if she had to go to the countryside? The fertile black soil of the Northeast meant she could lounge on a kang and eat her fill for half the year. What office worker wouldn't love that?

Most importantly, there was a big shot there whose coattails she wanted to ride.

Jiang Xingye was someone even the male lead admired, the future richest man in the world and the novel's hidden powerhouse.

After arriving in the countryside, Xu Qinghuan headed straight for Jiang Xingye.

Her original plan was to become his underling. She'd never thought of getting involved with him in an illicit relationship.

As the man gave her a heated look and huskily urged her to hold on a little longer, all she wanted to ask was:

What happened to being rich and self-restrained?

What happened to being career-driven and having no time for romance?

What happened to being an overworked 24/7/365 employee who never even went home?
