The Fake Easygoing Heiress: The Shanghai Tycoon’s Heir’s Nemesis Assistant

[Sweet romance · Wealthy family · Marriage before love · A powerful team]

Clear-headed, sly, down-on-her-luck heiress (pretends to be laid-back, but is truly ambitious) VS scheming, sharp-tongued rising star of Shanghai society (fatherly, controlling streak)

She worships Buddha but saves no one; he follows the law but not his heart.

Luo Xi thinks she's walked into a wolf's trap.

Jin Siyu knows she's the spider weaving the web, and he willingly falls into it.

Luo Xi is framed by her sister-in-law. Her cards are frozen, her trust fund is swallowed up, and she's forced into marriage.

With nowhere else to turn, she runs into the friend of the second brother she feared growing up, the crown prince of Shanghai, Jin Siyu.

Her best friend panics: "You're getting a wolf to chase off a dog? The dog may leave, but the wolf will still be here!"

Luo Xi says, "Relax. He's not interested in me."

But Jin Siyu hands her an IOU and, in strict accordance with the law, makes her repay her debt as his assistant for a salary of just ten thousand a month.

Then she gets into a car accident, and he watches over her for three days and nights with red-rimmed eyes, snapping, "Luo Xi, just try getting into trouble again."

He teaches her to read financial reports and learn business operations, turning the Buddhist studies student who recites the Diamond Sutra into a force capable of disrupting the family power game.

When they sign a prenuptial agreement, Luo Xi picks up the pen and signs at once. "I'm your good friend's little sister."

But he loosens his tie and pins her in his arms, murmuring with a smile, "Could you handle a chaste marriage?"

Only later does she learn that he left her every possible way out in the agreement. He talks about divorce, but the terms he wrote are more generous than a dowry.

He hasn't improved at sweet-talking, but he's never once failed to protect her.

Until one day, he grips her waist, presses his thumb to her shoulder blade, and asks in a husky voice, "What else do I have to do to make it up to you?"

From then on, she understands: when a wolf isn't eating you, it's gentler than anyone else.

When it is eating you... don't resist.

The more you struggle, the harder it gets.
