After her rebirth, Zhou Pandi changes her name to Bai Yuanzhi and goes to seek refuge with her aunt who married into Hong Kong City.
She moves into a subdivided flat with a harsh environment, enduring filth and hunger, contemptuous glares, countless lewd jokes, and covetous gazes…
.
Bai Yuanzhi is determined to marry a rich man.
She attends night school, learns English, and joins a dance class to improve her physique, striving to better herself and actively “encounter” wealthy men.
But after “dating” one rich young master after another,
Bai Yuanzhi always falls short at the final step.
.
After each failure, Bai Yuanzhi would visit a small, nearly bankrupt noodle shop. Only after hearing the young owner call her “Jiejie” and eating a bowl of fresh shrimp and crab roe wonton noodles with its sweet broth and plump filling could her dejected mood be mended.
.
When Bai Yuanzhi becomes wealthy, the little noodle shop she frequented goes out of business.
The poor young noodle shop owner stubbornly pushes his tricycle, waiting at the street corner day after day. Only after she buys a bowl of wonton noodles from his small stall will he push his tricycle away.
Watching the thin, gaunt young man so persistent in his dream,
Bai Yuanzhi is always reminded of the terrible days when she first arrived in Hong Kong City and lived in a subdivided flat.
.
Bai Yuanzhi buys a shop for the young owner and marries him.
From then on, they live a minimalist life: one house, two people, three meals a day, four seasons.
Her husband is great in every way, except he refuses to spend her money and insists on keeping that completely deserted little noodle shop, personally cooking three meals a day for Bai Yuanzhi.
.
Until one day,
Bai Yuanzhi discovers that the broth for the wonton noodles she eats daily
is made by her “destitute” husband, who uses his cold chain transport fleet and helicopter
to have the most expensive whole abalone and top-grade lobster delivered from across the sea in the shortest possible time?!

.
Ming Jiayao is the sole heir of an old money family, known to outsiders as an “autistic patient”;
He is also a ruthless character who drove his father to suicide and his mother to take her own life, a name that makes all of Hong Kong City tremble.
He is radical and aloof, always a loner.
Until one day, he meets a fierce, persistent, and ambitious woman, who always gives her all, her heart forever burning with endless hope and surging materialism.
She is the notorious Bai Yuanzhi, a gold digger who “smuggled” her way into Hong Kong from the mainland.
.
While the entire upper class mocks and ridicules Bai Yuanzhi,
Ming Jiayao discovers her secret—she is seeking revenge!
He quietly provides her with all the help he can,
He ruthlessly deals with the profligate sons who mock and covet her,
He watches with delight as she learns to invest and manage her finances, earning a fortune,
He finally sees her take revenge on her enemy,
and then senses with melancholy and bewilderment her intention to retreat.
.
He quickly goes “bankrupt,” times it perfectly to wait on her usual route with his tricycle every day, and asks with a pleading look, “Jiejie, wonton noodles, eat or not?”
Finally—
He gains her pity as he wished, and marries her as he wished.
.
Now, the biggest headache for the Hong Kong circle’s crown prince is: How can I let my wife know that the baddest and richest man in all of Hong Kong City is her husband?!
Will she despise me? QAQ0
