My first practice novel
[Villainous woman and man + Childhood friends + Long-planned schemes + Secret crush + Evenly matched + Coercive love]
A black lotus with a pure-evil aesthetic × an obsessive, patient schemer with ambition
Shi Qianling and Arakaki Qi were siblings in name only, and enemies as well.
To avenge himself, Arakaki Qi endured years in the Shi household, carefully plotting until at last he gradually took control of the family.
When Shi Qianling returned from studying abroad, she discovered that the unrelated older brother who had been raised in her home since childhood was about to inherit the family business in her place.
She wanted to take back everything. He wanted revenge.

Shi Qianling was born bad.
Spoiled and domineering from childhood, she never applied herself and thought the world of herself. Everyone in Hong Kong knew her as a villainess.
As the heir to one of the most powerful families, she was so rebellious that nobody could control her.
Everyone said the Shi family had wealth and influence to spare, but not a single decent heir.
So all the eligible young men in Hong Kong wanted to marry into the Shi family.
Arakaki Qi: “The Shi family doesn’t need a live-in son-in-law.”
Everyone: “?”
Arakaki Qi: “She already has a childhood betrothed.”
P.S. Arakaki is a Chinese compound surname said to originate from the Ji clan. The Shi surname is said to have originated from the Li surname during the Han dynasty.
