The Seduction Plan

[Younger man (two-year age gap) / modern high-society family / hints of the supernatural / pseudo-childhood sweethearts / marriage before love / children]

*Content warning: The male lead has never been with anyone, but the female lead has. Her ex appears, and she is not a likable heroine: she is not the traditionally sunny, kind, positive type.

A seemingly innocent but secretly calculating heir from an old-money family, hopelessly devoted to love X a rebellious, fiercely materialistic assistant prosecutor

Everyone in their circle knew that Zhou Siyu, young master of Hong Kong’s Zhou family, had been told by a fortune-teller at birth that he had excessive yang energy, a sinister fate, and wouldn’t live long. So before he was even a month old, they pierced his ears, gave him five-colored longevity beads to wear, and grew his hair long, raising him as a girl in the hope that balancing yin and yang would help him live longer.

Zhou Siyu had been frail since childhood. Since he also had a sweet, well-behaved appearance, at home he relied on Old Madam Zhou, and outside the family he relied on his domineering, money-loving wife. Everyone thought he was weak and useless. No one expected him to one day become acting chairman.

After Old Master Zhou was hospitalized, Zhou Yunting went to see Chen Mingli. He said that if Chen could get Zhou Siyu and Liang Shujing divorced and help him inherit Diyuan, he would withdraw Diyuan’s business interests in the three districts.

Chen Mingli asked him, “You don’t actually think Zhou Siyu became acting chairman because of Liang Shujing, do you?”

“Then what was it?”

“You’re wrong. Liang Shujing isn’t that smart.”
