She Escaped Her Predatory Boyfriend Through Gaming

[Urban + female engineer + top student + taking down scumbags + career-building + rooting out traitors] The calculating poor boy Xie Jue spent three years earning the trust of rich heiress Gu Lan so he could turn his life around. With graduation approaching, Xie Jue proposed with a pair of silver rings. But Gu Lan, usually sweet and easygoing, insisted that love and marriage were two separate things. She also proposed, “I won't have children. We'll set up a shared childbearing fund, then have a child through the National Science and Technology Reproductive Center. The fund will cover the cost.” The freeloader said, “But... all right.” (Idiot. I'll just wear you down bit by bit.) But the freeloader's rush to propose concealed a huge conspiracy. A chance encounter before they registered their marriage saved Gu Lan's family. After leaving the scumbag, Gu Lan committed herself to research and decided to have her parents push her academically hopeless younger brother to study. ...Gu Lan had once secretly harbored feelings for her older male cousin, Gu Nanqian, but ethics kept those feelings within proper bounds. Years later, her cousin returned under a secret identity, lavishing her with care and guiding her into the field to protect their country and home. All kinds of snakes, ghosts, ox-demons, and deities came after them, only to be defeated one by one by Gu Lan and Gu Nanqian. Li Jia Qian exposed the first crack in the “household registration fraud case.” Five years later, the truth came out. Xie Jue's mother murdered her daughter-in-law, and Xie Jue used a loophole in the law to cover it up, all while scheming to claim his wife's inheritance and leave her family without an heir. Furious after learning the truth, Gu Lan helped her father-in-law expose Xie Jue for who he really was. She discovered that the Xie family was far from simple, with deep ties to Dongwo. Shen Xu, the son of a longtime family friend of the Gu family, was a talented young man who had returned from overseas. He would become an important partner in Gu Lan's future career. ...When you're poor, focus on improving yourself; when you're prosperous, help the world. Whether for the country or the family, root out traitors, show love, and help one another. Not perfect
