In a marriage of convenience, Nathan, after a night of drinking, has an affair with Ava, leading to her ectopic pregnancy. 

Before the surgery, Ava calls Nathan, who is preoccupied with his mistress and neglects Ava, even going as far as to accuse her of having an affair and carrying another man's child after the surgery...

As their one-year contractual marriage comes to an end, Nathan realizes his feelings for Ava. 

But Ava is not willing to play along anymore!

Excerpt：

"I am Nathan Ford's girlfriend, loved by him, as everyone knows. And you... you're just a title holder, soon to be thrown out. By then, you'll lose all your dignity... no, you've already lost it. I bet your deceased mother would turn in her grave if she knew what you've become."

Hearing Iris Hart's sharp and biting words, Ava Sterling initially didn't want to stoop to her level. 

However, the mention of her late mother crossed a line.

A crisp slap echoed before Iris Hart could even react, leaving five bright red marks on her face.

"Ah—Ava Sterling—you lowlife, how dare you hit me..." Iris Hart realized she had been slapped and reached out to retaliate, but Ava Sterling was prepared and caught her hand easily.

"Listen, Iris Hart, if I'm the joke, what does that make you? You're also a joke. At least I'm Nathan Ford's wife by law! You! Iris Hart, are nothing but a mistress scorned by everyone. Every wealthy man may stray, but a hotel is just a hotel, and home is home. There can be many dishes, but there's only one bowl of rice."

Ex-husband seeks remarriage？I'm not cooperating!

"Nathan, I have an embarrassing request. I don't know if you can help me."

Fake Ava's expression was filled with hesitation, as if she were too ashamed to speak. Nathan immediately put down his tableware and looked at her with concern, his voice firm.

"Just tell me. If I can help, I definitely will!"

"Well... as you know, I'm home every day taking care of the child. Without a job, I have no income. Raising a child costs money, and I can't be idle at the Sterling house. There are various expenses to take care of. My money ran out a couple of weeks ago. Could you lend me some? Once the child is a bit older, I'll get a job and pay you back."

Fake Ava intentionally made herself sound pitiful, confident that Nathan would definitely give her the money. Hearing her plea, Nathan felt a deep pang of guilt.
