Summary:
Two years after Jiang Qiuyi’s wedding, she realized that she was but a cannon fodder in a novel.

It didn’t matter that she was being thrifty with money, or that she walked on thin ice everyday trying to be the best wife that she could be, Lu Mingcheng, her husband, would still divorce her in a year’s time and left her with nothing.

Jiang Qiuyi, who had now been enlightened set a goal for herself: she is going to spend 10 billion yuan first before she worry about anything else.

High-end custom jewelries? Sure!
Yacht? Yes!
A private plane? Why not!

Everybody thought that Jiang Qiuyi had lost her mind and waited for the day she was swept outside of the Lu’s door.

When their wedding anniversary came around, Lu Mingcheng gave Jiang Qiuyi shares of his company as a gift.

Lu Mingcheng: Go buy what you want.
Jiang Qiuyu: ?
Everybody else: ? ? ?

Lu Mingcheng noticed that his wife had changed.
She went from one who too frugal to even buy a purse for herself in the past to one who spent money mindlessly.

There was no more room for his clothes in the closet and Lu Mingcheng went from surprised to acceptance.

All the way until…
His assistant told him that, “Sir, Mrs. Lu invested in an entertainment company today and signed 10 little fresh meat. They are going to have a celebratory dinner tonight.”

Lu Mingcheng: I am sure there is still a place for me in her heart.

Review:
It is a common romance story but I found it a bit boring since there's not much conflicts. MC married ML because of one night stand. MC family is a small business family, she was a child from first wife so her family raised her in order to get a high bride price. They force ML to take responsibility and marry MC. MC felt guilty so she live in frugal and like a servant to ML mother. ML ignore her and never care about her. MC dreamt that her world is a novel, her husband is the ML but she is only a cannon fodder. She will get divorced without taking any money. The OFL is a designer who worked with ML company, they will get closer and eventually marry after ML divorced MC. MC felt since she will be divorced, she should enjoy her current life and spent ML money. She start buying a lot and that is the whole story...
OFL have a system to guide her and get closer to ML but ML become guarded because he realize MC didn't like OFL because OFL tried to get close to ML. ML keep his distance from OFL. OFL didn't show up a lot, just occasionally like a reminder that she is there.... The system is redundant, it only tell OFL that she should be with ML and give ML location to OFL...
The rest of story is about ML and MC getting closer and their daily life which is boring.
