Fang Yize, the daughter of the wealthiest man in Yuegang City, had a secret crush on the top-ranking student in her grade during high school—Jiang Xule.
She would secretly hide the milk bottles Jiang Xule threw away, pick up her empty pen refills, and analyze her essays word by word. She even bought Jiang Xule’s math notes at a high price on a second-hand app, all while quietly improving her own grades in hopes of getting into the same university and pursuing her.
However, a family tragedy occurred on the day of the College Entrance Examination, and Jiang Xule was forced to abandon the exam. In addition to the family crisis, Jiang Xule had spent all her savings on her family’s funeral arrangements and could not afford tuition.
Equipped with only a high school diploma, she drifted through various cities and faced constant rejection. Eventually, she returned to Yuegang City and, through an old classmate, secured a decent job at a restaurant.
But as time went on, her superiors began to exploit this hardworking girl like “shearing wool.” They withheld her wages, kept her on a trainee salary despite her becoming a full-time employee, assigned her the heaviest labor, and even demanded she accompany the boss for drinks and sex—even going as far as to slap her.
It was at this moment that Fang Yize, who happened to be at the restaurant for a gathering with her students, accidentally ran into her. Fang Yize bravely stepped forward to rebel on Jiang Xule’s behalf, unaware of just how desperately Jiang Xule needed that job.
The result: Jiang Xule was fired, and her favorability toward Fang Yize dropped by 50%.
This was because, in Jiang Xule’s memory, Fang Yize was a do-nothing socialite. Back in their freshman year at a boarding school, Jiang Xule had caught Fang Yize sneaking snacks and alcohol through a window back to the dorms, for which she was “warned and insulted” by the young miss. She had timidly held that grudge for eight years.
Six years later, reunited at the restaurant and unwilling to let her three-year high school crush go to waste, Fang Yize pursued her love directly. During a night of extreme weather with howling wind and torrential rain, she confessed to Jiang Xule.
— “If you want me to be with you, you’ll have to crush me to death with money.”
The next second, the thunderous notification sound of “Alipay has received 1,000,000 yuan” rang out.
Having struggled for six years and still living in a dilapidated thirty-square-meter rental, Jiang Xule had long ago developed a flexible personality. As long as the money was right, her pride? Not important!
