“Please accept my love letter.”

Classmate Yu immediately sat back down.

She wants to escape! But wait, what’s this? Pretending to be his wife for a monthly allowance of 500,000 in pocket money that can be freely spent on her card? Suddenly she doesn’t mind so much!

Everyone guesses: “She’s just a stepmother, how much could he really care for her? President Qi just brought a woman home to take care of his son.”

On the day of the banquet, surrounded by the media, Sheng MuMu hooks her arm around the man’s neck and sweetly calls him: “Dear~”

The man’s eyes darken as he pulls her slender waist closer, naturally dispelling the rumors.

Then people say: “She’s just a brainless trophy wife, just a pretty face.”

Sheng MuMu: “You dare call this 700-scoring top-scoring beauty from the city just a trophy wife?”

The variety show "The Most Hated Her and Him" invited six of the most disliked celebrities voted by netizens and industry insiders to participate in the recording.... more>>

The show became a hit as soon as it aired, and netizens called it the most unethical variety show they had ever seen.

However, on the day before the official recording of the show, Shang Lu suddenly realized that the world she lived in was a novel and she was a cannon fodder supporting actress, as well as the number one female star of this show, and most hated female celebrity voted by netizens.

Shang Lu exclaimed, "VIP viewing area, here I come!"

***

During a game segment, Shang Lu won and gained the priority to choose her room.

A princess syndrome actress arrogantly said, "Hey, let's exchange rooms."

Everyone thought they were going to have a conflict, but Shang Lu smiled and said, "It's 50,000 yuan for one night, 20% off for two nights, do you prefer WeChat or Alipay?"

The princess syndrome actress :???

-

The drama queen actress deliberately tried to steal Shang Lu's spotlight.

But, Shang Lu calmly took out a customized face mask from her bag that was specifically made for the other person's face and said, "It's all you, don't worry, it will all be broadcasted as you."

The actress : "..."

-

A tyrannical idol and an unsociable actor almost started a fight, and the show's staff quickly asked Shang Lu to mediate. Shang Lu, who was enjoying the spectacle, spontaneously hosted, "Ladies and gentlemen, what we are about to show you is the annual boxing championship! The loser will be disfigured and exit the entertainment industry!"

The two people who were about to fight : ...

-

Audience : ...we thought we would have fun, but they realized that Shang Lu seemed to be having even more fun than us.

After a series of crazy antics, everyone assumed that Shang Lu must have become a public enemy, but...

No one knows when it started, the "th**ny" celebrities in the entertainment industry who were fearless and unafraid of anything began to act subtly different towards Shang Lu.

The drama queen actress took the initiative to ask Shang Lu for advice on how to play a new role;

The unsociable male actor waited in the scorching sun for three hours to buy a limited edition cake for Shang Lu;

The princess syndrome actress and the irritable male idol almost fought over the opportunity to go to the amus**ent park with Shang Lu the next day.

Even the infamous tongue-lashing director, who was known to be strict on actors' performances, publicly said that it was an honor for him if Shang Lu agreed to play the female lead in his movie.

The haters were confused. Where did all the "villains" go? Why did you become Shang Lu's fan club after participating in the show? This doesn't make sense!

Later, they found out that there were more "hidden fans" of Shang Lu.

The heir of the top-tier wealthy family, Chi Yan, had a photo of seven-year-old Shang Lu stepping on a little boy's bu*t as his phone screensaver.

When asked about the reason, Chi Yan replied leisurely, "Can't you tell? It's because I have a crush on her."

Others were shocked.

Wait a minute... isn't that little boy who was bullied Chi Yan himself?!

A research genius, indifferent mad dog gong and a highly influential and stunning beauty shou... more>>

At his older brother’s funeral, Xie Hou encountered the male “widow.”

On a silent, rainy night, Shen Cizhu was surrounded by a group of dignitaries and led into the cemetery. He stopped in front of Xie Hou, lifting his umbrella, revealing the green eyes deeply etched in Xie Hou’s memory.

It seemed like he had been crying, and his striking beauty had become fragile as a result.

“Condolences,” Xie Hou said in a soft voice.

“Thank you,” Shen Cizhu replied hoarsely.

At the funeral, they pretended not to know each other, as if the night of their reckless passion had never happened.

After the crowd dispersed, the cemetery was cold.

Xie Hou looked down at Shen Cizhu, who was still kneeling in front of the tombstone. He leaned over, holding Shen Cizhu’s chin to make him look up. “Ge ge is gone. What will you do now?”

Shen Cizhu suddenly looked up.

“In that case,” Xie Hou, with an appearance of purity and coldness, murmured like an adulterer, “please let me replace Ge ge and inherit you.”

Shen Cizhu was adored by everyone.

In the eyes of others, Shen Cizhu was a noble son from a top-tier family, appearing compassionate and gentle, like the most sacred apple in the Garden of Eden.

But it was all a façade, and only Xie Hou knew his true nature.

The real Shen Cizhu had a destructive personality. He was gorgeous, arrogant, and greedy, harboring a permanent desire for control and possession over others. He was the most cunning and venomous snake in the Garden of Eden.

A venomous snake would never see itself as cruel; it would only follow its predatory instincts to ensnare its prey with a seductive whisper, and in an instant, its fangs would pierce the prey’s throat.

This predatory game was dangerous and rewarding for Xie Hou.

“My dear, it was clearly me who dragged you into hell, so why do you see me as your savior?”

Hormones can trigger the human instinct to seek a partner, but will your genes accept your partner?

Xie Hou had been conducting this research all along.

However, when everything seemed settled, it all collapsed with the arrival of Shen Cizhu.

He defied the warnings of his genes and fell in love with Shen Cizhu.

But at that time, Shen Cizhu was still his brother’s lover.

Despite being his grandfather’s favorite grandson, he quickly realized that he was nothing more than a pawn in his brothers’ ruthless struggle for power within the family empire. ... more>>

However, what truly terrified him were the enchanting but unsettling emotions that flickered in his younger brother’s eyes whenever he looked at him. Overwhelmed by these conflicting feelings, An Luo couldn’t help but wonder if he was condemned to be trapped in the never-ending cycle of “brotherly love.”

An Luo’s brows furrowed deeply as he contemplated his predicament. The weight of his brother’s gaze bore down on him, making him feel both unsettled and apprehensive. With a surge of anger coursing through his veins, he couldn’t help but question, in frustration, whether he was fated to be eternally trapped in this cruel pattern of love between siblings.

Suddenly, a figure materialized from the shadows, a mischievous smile playing on their lips. Startled, An Luo was caught off guard. It was as if this person had been there all along, listening to his inner thoughts.

In the book, the protagonist accidentally obtained a system, and with the help of the system, he pretended to be sick and escaped his engagement with the disabled Crown Prince. Then, at the peach blossom banquet, he demonstrated his extraordinary talent and attracted the attention of the fourth prince…

Finally, everything went well between the protagonist shou and the fourth prince and they fell in love very deeply. The fourth prince overthrew the rule of the previous emperors and became a model royal husband.

However…….

Wen Chi transmigrated and became the cannon fodder brother of the protagonist shou, and he was the one who was forced to replace the protagonist to marry the disabled Crown Prince.

It was rumored that the disabled Crown Prince was burned by fire five years ago. Not only was his face disfigured, but his legs also ended up being disabled. He lived deep in the Eastern Palace and stayed behind closed doors all year round. He had a very strange temper.

Only Wen Chi knew that the disabled Crown Prince would still become the emperor and became a famous tyrant in history. Unfortunately, he was later killed by the fourth prince for being too cruel. Even the cannon fodder, he was not spared, and he ended up tragically.

On the wedding night, the disabled Crown Prince grabbed Wen Chi’s chin. He sneered: “Here comes another one who wants to step on me to climb up.”

Outsiders all say that Xie Zhongxing had hit the jackpot marrying the prince of the Qin Enterprise, Qin Zhongyue, even being treasured and favoured for five whole years. They were well-recognized as a loving couple.... more>>

However, they didn’t know that Qin Zhongyue had a lot of dissatisfaction with this marriage. He complained to his good friend, “He micromanages everything. Won’t let me drink or smoke, won’t let me go clubbing, and he even set me a 10pm curfew!”

“I have to hand over all my salary and bank cards and he would only give me a hundred yuan a day! Only if he is in a good mood, he would give me a few hundred more!”

Qin Zhongyue felt angry and wronged, “And I even have to wait on him!”

“If I ever get the chance to do this again, I will never marry him! I used to get eight million yuan a month as spending money!” The prince said this to his friend.

The day after he said this, Qin Zhongyue found himself reborn to the time when he was seventeen.

The Xie Zhongxing at this time was eighteen years old and poor to the point where he only had one set of old clothes to wear, holes in his socks and a pair of dirty shoes with its soles peeling off. Even if he had a nice-looking face, he was despised and looked down upon, and known in the school as a pauper.

When Xie Zhongxing’s parents came to handle the withdrawal procedures for him, Qin Zhongyue only then found out that he was a study tyrant ranked first in his grade, receiving scholarships every year, and that he was a seedling with good prospects the school had high expectations for and not the ‘useless high school dropout who didn’t like to study and only has money in his eyes’ as claimed by his younger brother.

Qin Zhongyue couldn’t bear the sight of this. He pulled Xie Zhongxing into his arms, angry, “Continue studying! Our Qin family has never had a top scorer before, you must keep studying!”

Xie Zhongxing raised his eyes and looked at him in confusion. The look in his eyes seemed to ask: Who are you?

Qin Zhongyue thought of Xie Zhongxing’s dictatorship after their marriage and shuddered. He then maintained a look of righteousness, “I am just a kind-hearted person who does not wish to reveal his name!”

Later, Qin Zhongyue asked Xie Zhongxing shyly, “If we get married, can you give me a thousand yuan a day as spending money?”

Xie Zhongxing, “?”

Qin Zhongyue, “…..Five hundred is also okay.”

When they met again, she plunged a knife into his chest and smiled cunningly in the arms of another man, treating him like a stranger.

The Shao and Cheng families have been sworn enemies for generations, though few outsiders know the exact details of their feud.... more>>

What is known to all is the Shao family’s three cardinal rules:

The Shao family must not cooperate with the Chengs, must not intermarry with the Chengs, and must never appear with the Chengs at any public event.

One day, an adorable little girl looking like a doll, wearing a puffy pink dress, pink hair clip, and pink backpack, walked into the lobby on the first floor of the Shao Group building.

The receptionist thought she was some child who had wandered away from home. But the little girl solemnly said, “I want to see your Shao Group CEO, Shao Chengze.”

Seeing the girl’s pink outfit, the receptionist knew she must be from a wealthy and noble family to dare to address their CEO by his full name. She couldn’t be the daughter of some high-ranking Shao Group executive?

Smiling warmly, she asked, “Little one, could you tell me your parents’ names?”

The girl tilted her head. “My mommy is Cheng Jinlan.”

Cheng…Jinlan?!

Second Miss Cheng Jinlan of the Cheng family?! She never thought she’d see the day a Cheng would set foot in the Shao Group building. What a miracle!

“As for my dad, I’ve come today to get some of Shao Chengze’s hair for a DNA test. Once I have his hair, I’ll know if he’s my dad or not.”

The girl’s crisp words rippled outwards from the front desk through the bustling first floor lobby. Everyone who heard froze in shock, jaws dropping.

Everyone except Shao Chengze, who had just stepped out of the elevator surrounded by a group.

He looked at the girl in pink through narrowed, fox-like eyes.

Cheng Liqi recognized Shao Chengze and covered her mouth in an “ah-oh”.

She decided that even if Shao Chengze wasn’t her dad, she’d have to help Cheng Jinlan get this man. She liked his eyes.

They were just like hers.
