My Bully’s Billionaire Brother Fell in Love with Me at First Sight

[Alternate universe + elite academy + a society warped by money and power + everyone falls for her + taking love by cunning and force]

As a child, Ran Ming'an awakened to the fact that she was the beloved female supporting character in a novel set at an elite academy.

The male leads would put her on a pedestal, then let her fall, until the academy's rich girls bullied her to death.

They believed Ran Ming'an was a flawless, radiant moon in the sky, someone who shouldn't care about money or personal gain, even for her family.

Once the beloved woman was tainted, she was no longer beloved. So the male leads joined forces to devour her family's business.

But she came into this world at the wrong time. After Ran Ming'an died, the male leads fell in love with the novel's scholarship student heroine.

The heroine loved money, and they indulgently teased her for being a little miser.

The heroine plotted and schemed, and they praised her for being clever and shrewd.

Every trait of Ran Ming'an's that they had hated became a reason to love the heroine.

After awakening, Ran Ming'an had only recently become the male leads' playmate. She decisively persuaded her parents to move and transfer her to another school, vanishing from the male leads' lives for good.

Then, at eighteen, she entered Kost Academy as a scholarship student.

On her first day, Ran Ming'an crossed paths with the wealthy family's older brother, whose spoiled sister had led the bullying in the original novel. After making a sky-high wager with him, she won a handsome sum of points.

Ran Ming'an assumed the male lead, humiliated by his loss, would be furious, despise her, and target her. Instead, the man across from her slowly curled his lips into a smile and asked her to be his girlfriend.

He'd fallen for her at first sight.

Realizing this, Ran Ming'an smiled after a brief moment of surprise. This time, she would be the one calling the shots in their game.
