The day I found out I was pregnant, Cillian Rhodes confessed. "I cheated. The other woman is the hotel manager you hired." "Youth is a weapon, isn't it? She's wild, a real thrill." "She's not like you—not a Principessa bound by codes and etiquette. It’s a refreshing change of pace." I stood frozen, the ultrasound photo clutched in my hand. But Cillian sounded relieved, his tone light to the point of being cruel. "Don't worry, though. I'll be a good Papa." "But don't think you can use this pregnancy to chain me." "It's normal for a man to seek a little excitement on the side." Suddenly, I laughed. Did Cillian Rhodes really think that marrying me made him one of the family? But now… I had the Valeriano heir. Which meant the family business would pass to me—and my child. And the father? Who he was hardly mattered.

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.
