Lock Her Up

Shen Nanzhi woke up to find herself cast as a cannon-fodder supporting female character in an old-school tragic romance.

In the original story, she hurt the heroine and was tortured to death by Meng Youqing, the second male lead, a powerful foreign magnate.

She was holed up in a tiny rented room, livestreaming to make a quick buck before fleeing overseas to study.

Then she discovered that Leandro, the benefactor who'd been showering her with gifts, had the Chinese name Meng Youqing. He wasn't even a real foreigner.

Worse, she'd already started dating him to make money!

A chill ran down Shen Nanzhi's back. She didn't want to die like the original character.

She blocked every way Meng Youqing could contact her.

But that man chased her all the way from across the ocean to China and taught her a lesson.

Only her broken sobs remained in the room.

He looked down at her, his voice low:

"I told you. Bad children get punished."

Meng Youqing took complete control of her life.

Shen Nanzhi couldn't stand his possessiveness or his arrogant love. She could only pray he'd fall for the heroine soon.

But he didn't even have eyes for the heroine.

Then she accidentally fell from a building, and everyone said she was sure to die.

Expensive medical equipment and precious medicines were all used to keep her alive.

A month passed, and she still hadn't woken up. Meng Youqing showed no emotion, but his behavior grew more and more unhinged.

A gentleman educated in the West had even begun to believe in the Buddha and the gods.

When she woke again, a longevity lock hung around her neck.

And Meng Youqing indulged and doted on her in every way.

"I'll be your mother, your father, your husband, your lover."

"An obsessive, false gentleman, older than her, who bows his head for love"
