Tempting Him: After My Mother Remarried, I Set My Sights on the Man in Power

[Deranged, ruthless man in power vs. clearheaded, proactive girl]

Fang Yijin doesn’t know who her father is. For as long as she can remember, Fang Huanqing has brought different men home.

“Yijin, say hello to your uncle.”

Fang Yijin is always moving with her mother, from one new “uncle’s” home to the next, only to be kicked out again and left homeless.

As she grows older, those so-called uncles begin looking at her differently: their gazes are leering and sticky, full of disgusting appraisal.

Fang Yijin doesn’t care about any of that. She just wants to study hard, take her mother away from here, and start a new life.

But after her college entrance exams, her mother says, “Jinjin, you’ve grown up. All these years, I haven’t raised you for nothing.”

“You need to do better than your mother. Your uncle has a business partner named Mr. Wen. You’ve met him.”

“He’s very powerful. Do it for me, and spend a few days with your Uncle Wen.”

Fang Yijin has met that Mr. Wen, a man with lust written all over his face. He’s almost fifty.

Fang Yijin refuses to give in. “Mom, I don’t want to.”

Fang Huanqing immediately berates her. “You ungrateful brat! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have ended up like this!”

“You have to go!”

That day, Fang Yijin runs out of the hotel, turns off her phone, and hides at the train station all night.

When she turns her phone back on, there’s a message from Fang Huanqing: “You’ve ruined me! Why didn’t you just die out there!”

Now that Fang Yijin has grown up, Fang Huanqing wants to mold her into an even more skilled socialite than herself.

But Fang Yijin wants no part of it.

Later, she sets her sights on the nephew of Fang Huanqing’s lover, a powerful man who stands above everyone else.

If she really has to sacrifice herself to gain her freedom,

then she’ll choose the man herself.
