On the High Stage: The Villainess’s One and Only Persona

[Quick transmigration + coercion + unhinged romance]

[The villainess tag is a mistake. If that’s what drew you in, feel free to leave.]

[The captivating, cool and dignified young lady is being taken by force.]

[A ruthless, beautiful orphan fiercely guards the little plot of land that belongs to her.]

[The matriarch of a great family will stop at nothing for the sake of profit.]

[The scheming, sugary-sweet beloved is impossible not to lure in.]

[To be determined]

At their first meeting, he was polite on the surface and arrogant underneath, coolly aloof with a cutting edge.

He never said a single harsh word, yet made it perfectly clear:

He looked down on her, from beginning to end.

Su Fuying sneered to herself. People like him were perfect for treating like dogs.

She offered him her true feelings, passionate and sincere.

She wanted him to take the bait of his own free will.

But as he fell deeper, sinking step by step and biting down on the hook, she casually began to pull away.

Then she cast him aside.

A dark fire burned in those eyes, usually so still and calm.

His long lashes drooped, concealing the surging viciousness. That refined, gentle smile remained at the corner of his lips, but his fingers clenched tight, turning his knuckles white.

He edged closer, his breath low and oppressive. His voice was soft as a sigh, yet every word was steeped in obsession:

“If you’re going to fish for me, do it properly.

“Damn it, what’s the point of stopping halfway?

“Was that just a little test?

“Get back here and keep fishing.”

He raised a hand and gently brushed her lip with his fingertip, his touch tender and almost lingering, while near-mad possessiveness churned in his eyes.

The refined, elegant facade cracked apart, exposing the madness and malice he had hidden underneath for so long.

“If you won’t fish for me, I’ll force you to do it for the rest of your life.”

“Don’t stop. Keep fishing.

“If you dare reel in your line, I dare tie you up.”
