Desire's Sting

Young Master Lu, Miss Su doesn't want your money or you anymore!

[Rich-family CEO + dramatic love triangle + groveling pursuit + angst and sweetness]

[Beautiful, ambitious, money-loving temptress × wealthy playboy with a sharp tongue]

The first time Su Miao saw Lu Yan, she thought about latching onto a rich young man and living the high life as a wealthy wife.

But the moment they became intimate in bed, she found herself falling for Lu Yan's deep, dark eyes.

They were full of desire, but few knew just how many thorns lay within them, ready to wound anyone who came close.

In Lu Yan's eyes, she had always been a tool he could summon and dismiss at will, someone he didn't need to care about.

After a night of pleasure, he could leave her behind and walk away on his own.

He could also shamelessly get intimate with other women right in front of her.

Eventually, Su Miao came to terms with it. She stopped caring, took his money when she did what he wanted, and never gave him her heart again.

Then one day, just as Lu Yan had grown accustomed to having Su Miao around, he was met not with her warm, soft embrace, but with the words, “Let's break up.”

Later, Lu Yan finally recognized his feelings and tried to win her back. All he got was a cold bank transfer and a message: “Here's your money back.”

That night, the usually aloof and carefree Lu Yan waited all night outside Su Miao's apartment building. All he got was an awkward message from his secretary: “Mr. Lu, you should go home. Miss Su says she wants neither your money nor you.”

The male and female leads were secondary characters in the previous book. Neither is perfect: the heroine is initially money-minded and dependent on others, but later grows clear-headed and independent; the hero is initially cold and flirtatious, but later becomes devoted and faithful.
