A reluctant bride and her two best friends plot to steal all the gift money from her glitzy high-society wedding in this dazzling, heartfelt, funny novel for fans of Crazy Rich Asians

“A glittering debut. Delightful.” —Carley Fortune, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After

Bride-to-be Lulu is set to marry Shanghai’s most eligible bachelor, but her two best friends know the truth: she’s only marrying him to fix her family’s financial issues. So together they have devised a plan to turn her upcoming nuptials into an opportunity...

The wedding will be the social event of the season, lavish and over the top, but the three women’s focus will be on one thing: the red envelopes filled with cash gifts, stored in an elaborate safe at the center of the ballroom. More than enough money to get Lulu out of the marriage and transform all their lives.

With the help of a mysterious luxury goods counterfeiter and a snarky getaway driver, the women set in motion a brilliant scheme to lift all the red envelopes on the big day, all the while dodging nosy mothers-in-law and trying not to fall in love with unsuspecting accomplices. But as their plot grows increasingly complicated and relationships are caught in the cross fire, they're forced to decide what they're willing to give up to get their way...

“Joyous, indulgent, immensely clever.” —Grace D. Li, New York Times bestselling author of Portrait of a Thief
