My Demonic, Twisted Big Shot

[A sharp-tongued red-rose heroine + a calculating, shameless hero] Tang Yue is determined to be a red rose with thorns and win justice for her mother. She’ll steal her stepsister Tang Xiao’s fiancé, Qi Lin, make the business tycoon of Shanghai City help her reclaim her family’s Shengqiang Investment Group, and kick her wicked stepmother, She Manping, out for good. She thinks she has what it takes to play hardball and is confident she can stay in control. But in Qi Lin’s eyes, her skills aren’t even good enough to call her a pushover. It’s only later that she realizes she has long been a pawn on this powerful man’s revenge chessboard! When she finally catches on, all she can do is grit her teeth and call Qi Lin a devil. He just gives her an amused smile. “You’re no angel either. We’re even. You really think studying a little finance abroad makes you a financial kingpin? Around me, you’re barely an intern. You’re still a long way from taking down your stepmother and stepsister.” He leans in close. “Kiss me first, and I’ll teach you how to play. How about it?” Tang Yue refuses to back down. “Mr. Qi, weren’t you the one who said you had a sexual aversion to ‘red roses that have already been plucked’? So what are you doing pinning me down now?” Qi Lin’s fingertip traces her jaw. His voice is both ruthless and teasing. “I like pulling the thorns from a rose like you, one by one, until you’re obediently welcoming me beneath you.” “Then why didn’t you react when I tried to seduce you before?” “Because I’ve always been the hunter in this game! I call the shots!”
