A gorgeous, scheming black-lotus actress vs. the men who refuse to behave
1
Mei Ni has been a fixture in the entertainment industry for ten years. Everyone claims there's a powerful backer behind her, someone who can make anything happen.
Rumor has it he adores Mei Ni. He took her from an orphanage and brought her to live by his side, and from then on, kept her close to his heart.
No one knows that he was also the one who destroyed Mei Ni's family, clipped her wings, and imprisoned her by his side. When he personally sent her to the operating table for an experiment, he was nearly obsessive, his voice as tender as a lover's: "Be good, Nini. This way, you'll be able to stay by my side forever."
From that day on, Mei Ni had only one goal in life: to make him fall from his pedestal and crawl at her feet, repenting day and night.

At a school dance, Mei Ni meets her first target: Chi Chuji, the young heir to a conglomerate who has just returned from abroad.
She goes to great lengths to charm him, but he keeps her at arm's length, so she turns to find someone more obedient.
Who could have guessed the young heir would be so desperate that he would abandon his date, chase after her, and kneel before her, pleading, "Can you give me one more chance?"
When she turns against her powerful backer and is hounded online until she leaves the entertainment industry, he rushes to her and pulls her into his arms. "Just leave that man behind, and I'll take you away."
That night, Ji Fuyan smashes open the door. Seeing the two of them, his eyes turn bloodshot. "Who dares?"
Then he looks at her, almost begging. "Be good, Nini. I was wrong."
