Min Jun exclaimed, "Listen, lady, I never begged to become your husband. You offered me this chance." Mei Xing, a 22-year-old heiress to a vast fortune, was diagnosed with cancer but refused chemotherapy, determined to make the most of her remaining one year. Entering into an unexpected arrangement, a unemployed 23-year-old named Min Jun saw an opportunity and agreed to be her temporary husband for financial gain and the perks associated with being linked to a billionaire's daughter. As they discussed the terms, Mei Xing, dressed in a floral dress she hoped to wear during the warmer months, proposed, "Would you marry me? I'll pay you $100,000 for a year of commitment." Surprised, he questioned, "A whole year?" She explained, "It's a once-in-a-lifetime offer, more like a farewell gift for myself." Min Jun eventually appeared in jeans and a polo, remarking, "A summer dress in the fall," as he settled in. He laid out his conditions, "I need half the money upfront, fifty thousand, before we proceed. After the wedding, I'll receive the rest." In jest, Mei Xing added, "Just remember, by the end of the year, I might not be here." Min Jun couldn't help but ask, "Are you suffering from a terminal illness? Like COVID?" "No, just cancer," she reassured him. Reflecting on their situation, he continued, "So, in a year, I'll be free, while you'll be...gone."
