Get Rid Of The Male God And Marry The Rich

Meng Yu, a woman of striking beauty and multilingual talent, spent nearly a decade in a one-sided romantic relationship with Xiao Qi, a brilliant but emotionally distant AI executive in Shenzhen. Despite her deep affection and willingness to compromise, Xiao Qi maintained strict boundaries, refusing to marry her or engage in physical intimacy until his career stabilized. The relationship shifted dramatically when Ai Qing, Xiao Qi’s childhood neighbor and the girl from a photo he once kept in his wallet, arrived in the city with her young daughter, Huan Huan. Ai Qing claimed her family had helped Xiao Qi during his impoverished youth, and he responded by providing her with housing, employment, and financial support for her child. Meng Yu witnessed Xiao Qi displaying a warmth and tenderness toward Ai Qing and Huan Huan that he had never shown her, culminating in the child calling him "Daddy." The breaking point occurred at Xiao Qi’s workplace, where Huan Huan aggressively shoved a lollipop into Meng Yu’s throat, causing Meng Yu to push the child away in self-defense. Xiao Qi immediately rushed to care for Ai Qing and the injured girl, completely ignoring Meng Yu’s distress. Realizing she was merely an afterthought in his life, Meng Yu ended the relationship and left Shenzhen.

For over a year, Meng Yu traveled extensively to heal from her heartbreak, gradually rebuilding her sense of self. Her mother, Qi Mei, summoned her back to Yancheng to reveal a arranged marriage proposal with Chu Xiujin, the new chairman of Beiyue Automobile Group. Chu Xiujin was an illegitimate son of the powerful Xia family, rumored to be short, ugly, and ruthless. The original bride was Meng Yu’s step-sister, Wang Shuyuan, who had refused the match. Under pressure from her stepfather, Wang Weiguo, who relied on the Xia family for business success, Meng Yu agreed to take her sister’s place, viewing the marriage as a transactional duty rather than a romantic choice. She met Chu Xiujin at his headquarters and was surprised to find him tall, handsome, and polite, dispelling the vicious rumors surrounding him. Chu Xiujin revealed that the choice of bride was unimportant to him, treating the marriage as a mere formality, which relieved Meng Yu’s anxieties about their compatibility.

Meanwhile, Xiao Qi struggled with the reality of Meng Yu’s absence. Initially confident she would return, he experienced growing panic and insomnia as months passed without contact. He discovered she had blocked all his communication channels and moved to a new residence. His attempts to locate her led him to her new home, where he found her preparing for her upcoming wedding. Xiao Qi confessed his regret and begged her to cancel the marriage, promising to make amends for his past indifference. However, Meng Yu remained resolute, recognizing that his late-stage devotion was insufficient to repair the years of emotional neglect. She chose to proceed with her arrangement with Chu Xiujin, seeking a fresh start away from the pain of unrequited love.

The narrative explores the power dynamics between Meng Yu and the two men in her life. While Xiao Qi represents passionate but selfish obsession that only awakens upon loss, Chu Xiujin emerges as a composed and respectful partner who treats Meng Yu with dignity. As Meng Yu prepares to marry into the complex and patriarchal Xia family, she navigates the expectations of her stepfamily and the political intrigues of Beiyue Group. The story follows her journey from a submissive lover to an independent woman making her own choices, while Xiao Qi faces the consequences of his emotional unavailability and Chu Xiujin begins to show genuine interest in his new wife beyond the initial arrangement.
