Qu Wanwan graduated from Beijing University of Science and Technology five years ago. With her outstanding appearance and competitive qualities, she became an employee of a foreign company. But after going into society, she realized that she could only rely on herself. Without any background and resources, it wasn’t easy for her to climb her way up the ladder. A colleague joined the company at the same time as her, who was promoted twice after becoming the mistress of an executive in the company.

Seeing that her competitor became her superior, Qu Wanwan immediately left her high-paying job out of anger. However, her colleague took it out at her and turned her resignation into a dismissal. This resulted in no major companies taking her in after seeing her resume.

However, Qu Wanwan did not want to leave the city and became an attendant in a five-starred hotel. One day, Ding Lin found her and claimed to have a job with a good salary for her.

Subsequently, Qu Wanwan came in contact with the profession called sham marriage.

At that time, there were many dating websites in the county focusing on this need. Due to the imbalance between men and women in the country, there were many singles men. Many of them would go on dating sites to find a match for themselves, which resulted in sham marriages.

Ding Lin wasn’t Qu Wanwan’s birth mother, but she only acted in this role. Aside from Ding Lin, Qu Wanwan also had a fake uncle, an official in the public security system. Qu Wanwan would often publish her photos with her uncle on social media. The reason for choosing this identity was to gold-plate herself with an uncle in the public security system, making it more believable.

In the beginning, Qu Wanwan’s team was only responsible for resolving issues, like temporary actors. They were mainly tricking applicants into paying meeting fees or matching agency fees.

Usually, when they meet the second time, they would use all sorts of reasons to break up. Then again, if the applicants were wealthy, they would continue for a period of time. They would try and get as much money as possible from the other party before breaking up.

Usual sham marriages would stop things at dating. But Qu Wanwan’s team discovered that if they carried on into weddings, they would be able to get more out of it.

Qu Wanwan had already divorced four times, and Lu Yunchuan was her fifth target. But Lu Yunchuan had given her the most. She had only gotten ¥400,000 at most from each of her four previous marriages. But it was completely different when it came to Lu Yunchuan. They only dated for a few months, and Lu Yunchuan had given her no less than ¥10,000,000. Even Qu Wanwan felt sympathy for Lu Yunchuan. After all, how could there be such a fool in the world?

Qu Wanwan had come in contact with many men. So she wouldn’t have feelings for her prey. Even if they had intimate contact, it was just an act to win her prey’s trust.

Lu Yunchuan was highly educated, but his EQ was low. He was completely mesmerized by her.

After dozing off briefly in the courtyard, Qu Wanwan returned to the living room. Ding Lin got Qu Wanwan to sit down and spoke out, “Your job today is to break up with Lu Yunchuan because I have just contacted Mr. Tang. You will be meeting other prey tomorrow. I have analyzed it for you. He’s a programmer from a large internet company, with a net worth of ¥50,000,000. He had several simple relationship histories, and all of them ended peacefully.”

“But I’ve not gotten my divorce!” Qu Wanwan frowned.

“Throw out the bait for the fish. Many people do the same job as us. If we don’t launch an attack beforehand, he will be snatched by someone else. He has a net worth of ¥50,000,000. If you marry him now before getting a divorce, you will be able to get ¥25,000,000.” Ding Lin persuaded.

“How many idiots like Lu Yunchuan are there in the world?” Despite those words, Qu Wanwan knew that she could easily get men to spend ¥300,000-400,000 on her easily with her skills.

Qu Wanwan sat before her computer and started going through her new prey’s information. She was pondering how to communicate with him, win his trust, and get married quickly before getting a divorce. A series of plans were started to formulate in her mind.

After she analyzed her new prey, Qu Wanwan took a deep breath and sent a message to Lu Yunchuan, “We will have our divorce done tomorrow in the Bureau of Civil Affairs. Furthermore, I need ¥5,000,000 as breakup fees.”

When Lu Yunchuan saw his wife’s message on the warding bed, a bitter smile rose on his lips, “Wanwan, don’t do this. I don’t have that much money with me. I have already spent all my money on you. I can’t touch those on the stock market, or I’ll be making a huge loss. Give me a month, no, ten days will do. I will get the money for you.”

“No! I want it tomorrow. Let me remind you that you have a USB flash drive on your desk at home. I have already copied the data. What do you think of me handing it to other people working in the same industry as you? Don’t force me to take it that far.” Qu Wanwan sent her reply.

“Wanwan, you’re forcing me to die!” Lu Yunchuan suddenly felt despaired. Who could’ve imagined that such a sweet wife would turn out to be a vicious woman?

“Your death has nothing to do with me. We have no feelings, to begin with. I am only concerned about your money, and I will take my revenge if you’re unable to satisfy me.” Qu Wanwan replied.

Done with messaging, Qu Wanwan continued to sort out the information on her phone before stretching her waist and headed to bed.

Su Mu was lively in the ward. But Lu Yunchuan could tell that she was just trying to improve the ambiance. He could guess her thoughts, but he wasn’t proficient in communication. Not to mention that it was forbidden for colleagues to fall in love with each other in the company, so Lu Yunchuan had never thought of it in this direction.

“Little Su, it’s getting late. Why don’t you go home?” Lu Yunchuan looked out the window and smiled.

“Brother Yunchuan, it’s fine. I live alone, and I have nothing to do at home. The inpatient department will lock the doors at around 9 p.m., so I can leave at that time.” Su Mu took a cup of hot water for Lu Yunchuan. She then dipped a cotton swab in it and rubbed it on Lu Yunchuan’s lips to moisten his lips.

“No need! Go home now! You still have work tomorrow. I’ll be angry if you’re not leaving.” Lu Yunchuan pretended to be furious.

“I have already taken leave. So I can take care of you every day in the hospital. It’s something that Ms. Ni permitted. You are her best employee, so it will be bad if something happens to you.” Su Mu smiled.

“How can that be?” Lu Yunchuan frowned. “You’re a woman, and I was married once. If other people know that you’re taking care of me, it will ruin your reputation. There’s no need for you to come tomorrow.” Lu Yunchuan’s tone became heavy this time. His body was still recovering, so he was gasping for his breath intensely.

“Alright. I’ll take my leave then!” Su Mu heard from the doctor that Lu Yunchuan couldn’t be too emotional. She immediately stood up and packed her stuff before leaving.

When the door closed, Lu Yunchuan revealed a pained expression.

As time passed, Lu Yunchuan began to count down. He had been in a state of high anxiety and pain for a long period of time, which caused him to take atropine. He nearly died because of that as well.

In reality, Lu Yunchuan once had suicidal thoughts. It would all end if he died. He would no longer have to be threatened by Qu Wanwan, nor will the company suffer a great loss.

It was easy for people to become extreme under sadness. Perhaps Lu Yunchuan did not have suicidal thoughts in the beginning, but he had it now. Whenever no one was around, he would feel lonely. He would find the world cruel.

At about 11 p.m., when Lu Yunchuan made sure that no one would disturb him, he left a dying message on his phone. It contained his complaints and anger towards his wife and how helpless he felt.

Once he was done, Lu Yunchuan finally felt that he had no more worries in the world. He walked over to the balcony, allowing the autumn wind to blow against him. It then took a great effort to get on the balcony. Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes.

This was the ninth floor, and there would be nothing to worry about once he jumped down.

“Don’t move!” A voice called out to him just when Lu Yunchuan wanted to jump down.

Turning around, Lu Yunchuan was shocked to discover that aside from Su Mu, Su Tao and Ni Jingqiu were both around as well.

So it turns out that when Su Mu left the hospital, she felt uneasy and gave a call to Su Tao. After Su Tao pondered for a long time, he contacted Ni Jingqiu, and the three of them rushed to the hospital.

They sneaked a peek through a small seep into the ward. They did not disturb Lu Yunchuan when they saw him typing on his phone. But when they noticed his abnormal actions, they immediately rushed in to stop him from committing suicide.

“Don’t stop me! I don’t want to live anymore!” Lu Yunchuan painfully howled.

“Are you going to leave the world just for a woman? There are many beautiful things in this world, and your relationship’s failure is just a small episode in your life. If you committed suicide now, you would be letting your family down, especially your parents.” Su Tao questioned while he slowly moved towards Lu Yunchuan. “You’re a man. You cannot be a deserter, let alone a coward. As long as you live, there’s nothing that cannot be resolved.”

“Don’t come here! Otherwise, I’ll jump down from this place!” Lu Yunchuan nervously called out.

Su Tao felt slightly relieved when he heard Lu Yunchuan’s words. Logically speaking, people would only say that if they did not completely give up on living. He jumped onto the balcony. Looking at him, Lu Yunchuan was shocked, “What are you trying to do?”

“Jumping down with you?” Su Tao spread his hands out and smiled.

When Ni Jingqiu and Su Mu heard that, the two of them were shocked by Su Tao’s insanity.

However, before the two of them could react, Su Tao suddenly slammed Lu Yunchuan down on the ground, firmly pinning the latter on the ground.
