[Penny-Pinching, Insolvent Drama Queen × Love-Brained, Rugged, Brooding Young Master of a Crime Family | Intense Push and Pull + Mutual Healing]
"Break up? You'll always be mine." Inside the rented apartment, the tall, muscular man pinned Jiang Zhi hard against the door.
Jiang Zhi wasn't scared in the least. She raised her little riding crop and made him kneel on a washboard.
But in the next instant, memories from the original story flooded in, and she froze.
The amnesiac beauty she'd brought home to use as a blood bag was actually the deranged young master of a Hong Kong crime family!
And she was just a cannon-fodder female supporting character, doomed to be manipulated by the original heroine, locked in a mental hospital, and end up dying in childbirth along with her baby.
Panicking, Jiang Zhi dropped her riding crop and instantly became a drama queen, her eyes turning red. "Is it too late to learn how to cook?"
Who knew the male lead would panic even more? He immediately transferred every last cent in his account to her and soothed her gently. "I'll handle all the housework."
To change their fates, Jiang Zhi eagerly tried to set the male lead up with someone else and help him avoid the original heroine. She secretly brainwashed him: "When choosing a wife, look for a kind heart. Don't let a white lotus green tea fool you."
She also worked hard to help her love-brained mother find a date, prompting a line of big shots to sign up to be her stepfather.
Who could have guessed that the vicious, ruthless, lovesick male lead would get jealous every day, unable to bear being apart from her, and keep showing off his abs to tempt her?
Jiang Zhi could only tighten her belt and chant the Heart-Clearing Mantra over and over: He's lustful, he's lustful! I'm not getting involved, I'm not getting involved!
Before long, her powerful new stepfather was in place as her protector. Jiang Zhi's old spoiled habits resurfaced, and she wanted to bring home another sweet little puppy to train.
That night, the refined young master, whose memories had returned, dropped to his knees on the washboard with blood-red eyes.
"Zhizhi, you said I was your child groom. You can only have me."
"If you dare look for another man, I'll kill every one who comes along."
I absolutely adore the female lead; she's decisive and efficient, without any hesitation. The male lead is so good to her; he's a truly wonderful man. He's actually quite successful financially, but Hong Kong is just too expensive, haha! 🍉
It's so good, I can't stop reading, I keep going chapter after chapter.
