[Restrained, scheming tycoon × sweet girl who replies to everything with the wrong thing]

Su Ruan has always had everything go her way. Then one day, she dreams that she is the villainess in a story about a real and fake heiress. She learns she is the adopted fake heiress, and that she will later grow jealous of the real heiress, try to seduce a powerful man and suppress her rival, then die by suicide in despair.

When she wakes, she has already been set up and is being dragged deep into a hotel. At her lowest point, she makes a snap decision, grabs a handsome man by the leg, and decides to choose her own powerful protector!

Following the principles of child psychology, she meets his cold gaze and says seriously, “You have a nice figure.”

Only later does she realize he is none other than her own ruthless, unfeeling fiancé.

The night before they register their marriage, Liang Yanshen hands her a prenuptial agreement, his expression cool.

“There won’t be any love between us, but you can think of me as family. I’ll keep you safe.”

Su Ruan can only stare in shock at all the zeroes in the sum.

Calling him Daddy would be way too flattering.

Her eyes light up. “Okay, big brother.”

Later, Liang Yanshen still wears that unreadable expression, but the darkness in his eyes seems ready to swallow Su Ruan whole.

Watching Su Ruan prepare to leave, he digs his nails into his palm until they leave marks. His voice is hoarse. “Could you stop thinking of me as your brother?”

“…Could you look only at me?”

-

Liang Yanshen has always believed he has no need for unnecessary feelings. He is marrying only to satisfy his family.

But when someone mentions that he met his wife when she was seven, he answers calmly, “She’s no trouble.”

His friend gives a merciless verdict: “You’re a complete beast.”

Not a secret crush: they fall in love after reuniting
