Dumped at Registry, I Married a Heiress

Chen Mu comes from an ordinary family. He goes to the Civil Affairs Bureau with his girlfriend to register their marriage, and at the counter her mother demands 200,000 yuan in bride price before she will allow it. He does not have the money. The relationship ends there, after years in which he had given her everything he had. Su Xin is at the bureau the same day. Her father is the richest man in Ninghai, and the family has arranged a marriage for her that she refuses to go through with. She needs a husband on paper at once. She has watched Chen Mu lose everything at the counter without losing his dignity, and she asks him to register with her instead. They sign that day and agree that the marriage is a contract and nothing more. The registration switches on a system inside Chen Mu that is built to turn him into a perfect man, and his circumstances start to improve. People who want the marriage undone and other troubles come at the two of them one after another. Chen Mu and Su Xin handle each of these together, and over that time they go from respecting each other to caring for each other. Chen Mu begins to build up businesses of his own.
