Her boyfriend of three years wanted a promotion so badly that he treated Xu Xingmi like a “gift,” tricking her into winning favor with Lu Yanci, the powerful, untouchable heir to the capital’s elite.
Xu Xingmi finally gave up on him and went straight to Lu Yanci’s presidential suite. She had planned to use his influence to face-slap her scumbag ex, but instead, this cold, restrained man at the top of the food chain handed her a marriage contract.
“Marry me, and I’ll teach you how to get your revenge.”
After the wedding, Xu Xingmi kept a clear head and treated their wealthy-family marriage like a high-level “business project.”
She checked in on him right on schedule and provided precisely the emotional support he needed. She not only dominated the workplace, but also played the role of a sweet, obedient Mrs. Lu to perfection.
When Lu Yanci warned her coldly, “This is just a partnership. Don’t cross the line.”
Xu Xingmi smiled, warm and harmless. “Don’t worry, Mr. Lu. I won’t fall for you.”
Later, her scumbag ex regretted everything and knelt in the rain, begging her to take him back. The normally composed, self-disciplined business magnate finally lost his mind.
Backstage at a banquet, Lu Yanci pinned her firmly in a corner, his eyes bloodshot. “Xu Xingmi, have you always seen me as nothing but a stepping stone?”
Xu Xingmi smiled, radiant and alluring. “Mr. Lu, the project is over. Time to terminate the contract.”
The next second, the ruthless man at the top dropped to one knee and clamped his arms around her waist, his voice trembling with desperation. “Honey, don’t terminate it… I’m begging you, keep me under your thumb for the rest of my life.”
