Reborn as a Vicious Female Side Character, She Picks the Wrong Man

Lin Jing transmigrates into a book, landing in a story about wealthy heirs and domineering CEOs.

The System leaves her with just one instruction, “Complete the gold-digger supporting character mission,” then disappears for good.

As a seasoned web-novel reader, she quickly figures it out: she needs to go after the male lead’s money, then exit once the heroine appears. The only problem is, she has no idea who the male lead is.

But Lin Jing has her own “golden rule”: the richest and most handsome man must be the male lead.

So she sets her sights on Huo Yunzheng, a man wealthy enough to rival a nation, powerful enough to get anything done, and so handsome he looks like the Creator’s favorite masterpiece.

That’s the one!

From then on, Lin Jing works diligently to get her hands on his money: she pouts, arranges chance encounters, plays hard to get, and brings every trick in the book to bear.

The results are astounding. Huo Yunzheng spends money on her with absurd generosity.

But gradually, the way he looks at her changes, from indulgent indifference to fierce possessiveness.

Late one night, he pins her against the floor-to-ceiling window and asks, “You like my money so much? Do you like me, too?”

Lin Jing’s heart pounds like a drum. “I do...”

She’s got the money, and now she’s close to being swept off her feet and taken home, too.

Lin Jing thinks happily to herself: When the System comes back, I’ll surely be employee of the month.

Then the System really does return, with a piercing shriek: “Aaaah! You pursued the wrong person! Huo Yunzheng is the male lead’s uncle!”

Lin Jing is stunned.

She’s done for.

She hastily draws up a plan for an amicable breakup, but before she can say a word, Huo Yunzheng corners her in the room. Slowly, the man loosens his tie and wraps it around her wrist, pulling her into his arms. His voice is low and addictive as he says, “Baby, I’ve never been the one to lose out. You took my money and stole my heart, and now you want to run?”

He leans down and kisses her earlobe. “Too late.”
