All My Monster Husbands Are Hopeless Romantics

[Married First, Love Later + Taking by Force + Reunion After Years Apart + Romantic Rivals]

“Anning, just marry him. Please, I’m begging you,” Ji Anning’s mother pleaded, kneeling on the floor. “Sure, he’s not much to look at, but he’s rich. You’ll have a good life with him.”

Tears glimmered in Ji Anning’s eyes as she demanded, “You call that ‘not much to look at’? He looks like Zhu Bajie! You’re pushing me into a pit of fire!”

“No. I don’t care. You’re marrying him whether you like it or not.”

Ji Anning’s mother grabbed her hand to stop her from running away.

If she ran, where would her mother find 300,000 yuan?

Late that night, Ji Anning climbed out of a second-floor window and escaped, her movements masked by the croaking of frogs.

Aboard the world’s largest cruise ship, sailing across the deep blue sea, she stood on deck and looked at the admission notice in her inbox.

This time, she wouldn’t compromise.

“Here’s the marriage application. If there’s anything you find unreasonable, tell me.”

Ji Anning looked at the tall, broad-shouldered, trim-waisted man in front of her, dressed in a sharp suit, and swallowed involuntarily.

“I want five hundred million.”

He was pretty handsome. Marrying him wouldn’t be a bad deal.

“Fine. Sign it.”

The man wrote down the amount she’d asked for and handed it to her. Ji Anning took the gold fountain pen and signed her name in black ink on the white paper.

“From now on, you’re my wife.” He slowly moved closer, his gaze serious. Ji Anning’s legs went weak, and she backed away. “I’ll be coming home to sleep tonight.”

After a moment of silence, Ji Anning said cautiously, “Understood.”

Satisfied with her answer, the man turned and left.

It was only for one year. She could treat it like a job, and besides, no job could earn her five hundred million.
