Sheng Huan woke up as a fake heiress in a wealthy family. On the very same day, Sheng Lin, the real young master who'd been away from home for twenty-four years, was brought back to the Sheng family. Before she had time to panic, a cold, mechanical voice rang in her mind:
[Villainess System bound. Main quest: Bully the real young master and eventually give way to the original heroine. Failure to complete the quest: Extermination.]
Sheng Huan steeled herself and went to threaten him, then hit him with a cashmere throw pillow. The System roared: You call that bullying?! That thing is so fluffy it could be a marshmallow!
Sheng Lin sat in the shadows, damp and gloomy all over. After she hit him with the pillow, he bent down to pick it up. His long fingers sank into the plush fabric, slowly pressing it into his palm.
The System ordered her to steal his room. He carried his battered suitcase into the storage room and left the key on the shoe cabinet.
The System ordered her to humiliate him in public. She slipped and nearly scraped her knee, but he grabbed her arm and pulled her up, then stepped back half a pace. "The stone's slippery."
Sheng Huan was going crazy. The man whose life she'd taken over for twenty-two years should have hated her to the bone.
Until one day, she was forced to bully him again. He tilted his head slightly, exposing his other cheek. His voice was low and hoarse, but indulgent.
"You can hit this side too. Keep going. Don't stop."
The System broke down. "It's over. He loves you even more now."
Sheng Huan broke down too. She'd only been following the System's villainess plot. How had she bullied the real young master into becoming her man?
Even worse, the day she was finally supposed to finish the plot and run away
The man who'd always been silent and gloomy clamped a hand around her wrist for the first time, all the pent-up darkness in his eyes bursting loose.
"Weren't you going to bully me? Then keep going. I won't let you leave."
They said he'd be a brooding, unhinged obsessive. How did he end up turning himself into a lovesick puppy first?
