   LOL, I was kidnapped! ⭐️Warning: The female lead disappeared for five years. When she returned, she was a puppet, but it was broken (ask the coin box about how it was broken), and she became a wealthy heiress again. The female lead's system often sends her to gain the favor of other male supporting characters, all of whom are capable of destroying the world at any moment. ⭐️The female lead is all-powerful and initially shows little emotion, but later falls deeply in love with the male lead. She's not a naive or innocent character; she's cool and capable. The male lead is a possessive and ruthless villain, even clever enough to figure out that the female lead has a system. He's insane, even risking his life for it. ⭐️Not clichéd, well-written, and the author doesn't delay updates. Recommendation rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
