After the Unhinged Villain Read My Mind, I Became the Beloved of a Wealthy Family

Jiang Ning transmigrates into a wealthy-family melodrama as a vicious cannon-fodder character, and from the start she’s on the brink of getting herself killed: she’s about to be turned into a specimen by the future living devil of Beijing’s elite circle.

The System announces without a trace of mercy: “Save the villain, Lu Yan, or be erased on the spot!”

At that moment, Lu Yan, the illegitimate son of the Lu family known as their mad dog, is locked in the basement by the main branch and having his blood drained to keep someone alive.

He’s seething with menace, and the way he looks at her is as if she were already dead.

To save her own skin, Jiang Ning shoves a bodyguard aside and takes the barbed whip meant for him, crying with heartbreaking beauty, “Don’t hit him! Let me take his punishment!”

In reality, her inner voice is screaming nonstop: [Holy crap, that hurts! Don’t hit my face! If I weren’t trying to stay alive, who’d bother earning this lousy money? Lu Yan, get it together and kill them already!]

Lu Yan, who has just awakened the ability to hear people’s thoughts: ?

Later, the Lu family falls. Lu Yan rises to power over the cold bones of the city’s elite, becoming the one person nobody in Beijing dares to provoke.

Jiang Ning thinks she can finally bow out after completing her mission, so she packs her bags and makes a run for it in the middle of the night.

But the man corners her at the airport, eyes red as he grips her slender waist and pins her against the wall. “Ningning, you say you love me in your heart, so why are you still trying to run? Leave your life behind, or take me with you.”
