[Revenge and Crushing Scumbags] [Flirtatious Femme Fatale] [Love Rivals Everywhere] [Older Men] [Mutual Firsts, One-on-One]
[The female lead looks innocent but is secretly ruthless. She plays the helpless victim at first, then turns the tables without hesitation.]
Li Yang was once the naive heiress of the Wen family. When she was twelve, her parents were murdered, her inheritance stolen, and her family's enemies, the Zhu family, sold her into the mountains to be a child bride.
After clawing her way back from hell to the capital's top university, she watched Zhu Shuman, the daughter of her enemies, bask in the attention of the capital's wealthy young heirs.
For revenge, Li Yang buried her hatred and pretended to be a gold-digging seductress, boldly entering the heirs' little pond!
She planned her moves step by step, first pretending to date Gu Huai and driving him mad with jealousy.
Then she pulled a daring pity play, making the straightforward Xie Guannan angrily berate his friends and fall out with them for her sake.
When Lu Yanzheng, who could see through people's hearts, exposed her, she tore up the check in front of him and, eyes red, said, "The truth is, you're the one I like." Just like that, she dragged this aloof gentleman into the mud.
The four young masters of the capital fought and brawled over her, while Zhu Shuman fell from her pedestal.
But just as the young masters came to their senses, Huo Zhixiao, the powerful man who had never shown interest in women and whom even the four heirs of the capital respectfully called "Uncle," put an arm around Li Yang's waist.
"Yangyang, they're just fish. I'm here to close the net."
From then on, he handed her the knife on her path to revenge and stood up for her, stamping everyone who had ever bullied her into the dirt and spoiling her until she became the most brazen Mrs. Huo in all of the capital!
⚠️ Caution: Readers with extreme squeamishness about romantic entanglements, proceed with care!
The female lead makes money for revenge and spends the early part of the story dealing with the male supporting characters. There is physical contact, but nothing crosses the line. The true male lead appears in Chapter 30, and the female lead belongs to him in both body and heart!
I like this kind of clear-headed female lead setting. The female lead always knows what she wants, which is why she maneuvers around the male supporting character. The male lead finally comes out later, but I don't know why he helps the female lead. Could it be that they knew each other before?
Ladies, promise me you'll finish the first chapter! The first chapter might not be the most captivating, but the rest is absolutely amazing! The female lead is a natural-born fox, clear-headed and intelligent. She's adept at manipulating people and disguising herself for revenge, but she's also kind at heart, though never a saint.
The author's writing is incredibly engaging! The female lead is consistently intelligent and always knows what she needs to do. Revenge is her top priority; men are merely tools for her revenge. It's very compelling, and I love the tension and suspense! Thumbs up for the author! (Fine! Fine!)
