Driven out of home by her stepmother and unable to claim her mother's inheritance, she had no choice but to marry the scandal-ridden hotel heir. It was a mutually beneficial deal, and they agreed never to fall for each other. But when his ex-girlfriend live-streamed her tearful complaints outside the Civil Affairs Bureau and her stepmother accused her of marriage fraud for money, he put his arm around her in public and declared: "She is my wife." Yet he added coldly in private: "Don't take it seriously." It was not until later that she discovered his marriage to her was no coincidence — he had his eyes on the valuable land left by her mother.
