[This story has been revised. Stolen versions are incomplete, and I am not responsible for pirated copies.]

Everyone at Experimental High School knew.

After failing to win Shi Huan's heart for months, the school bully Yan Wang turned bitter and began hating the sight of her.

Whenever Shi Huan was around, Yan Wang could always be seen glaring at her from within three meters.

Like a puppy that looks fierce as it glares at you, but is actually whimpering with hurt.

One evening, the lights went out during study hall. She quietly moved closer and gently poked him. "Yan Wang, what's wrong?"

The boy didn't respond. His breathing was so steady, he seemed to be asleep.

Shi Huan had no choice but to give up.

*

After confessing to the girl he liked for the eleventh time, Yan Wang unexpectedly awakened memories of his past life.

Shi Huan, whom he treasured beyond measure, was the villainess in a CEO romance novel, while he was her lackey, a hopeless romantic who spent his whole life pining after her without ever winning her heart.

Yan Wang was furious. He swore he would never pay attention to that heartless woman with no taste again!

But later, whenever Shi Huan was around, he couldn't stop himself from looking at her.

One day, the male lead of the original novel approached Shi Huan with a bouquet, delivering his confession in especially eloquent terms: "Shi Huan, you're my red blood cell. Without you, I'd be short of oxygen. So, would you be my oxygen?"

Their classmates all cheered them on, shouting for them to get together.

Only Yan Wang's eyes turned bloodshot. He dragged the girl away from the crowd by force.

The boy hid in the stairwell, clutching his precious treasure and refusing to let go. "Shi Huan, if he runs out of oxygen, he can use an oxygen tank. But without you, my heart will stop beating, so... could you choose me?"

At that moment, Yan Wang didn't care whether he was a lovesick puppy or not.

He would bet his whole life on it! He was going to be a lovesick puppy who actually won her heart!

Online Dating the Black-Hearted Boss's Son

[Blurb One]

Only after Shi Yi started her internship did she realize that workplace misery treats every wage slave equally. The resentment she produced each day could feed ten evil sword immortals.

When her black-hearted boss criticized her livestream numbers for the Nth time, she couldn't take it anymore and vented to her online boyfriend.

"Our boss must have a screw loose. She actually expects me to write a reflection after every stream! A reflection on what? How much of an idiot she is?"

"My boss says my voice isn't gentle enough, which is why my livestream only has single-digit viewers. Heaven above, bear witness to my innocence! It's a livestream selling dentures. How many viewers does she expect?"

"She actually expects me to make a hundred thousand in sales every month! If I could earn a hundred thousand, why would I be a wage slave? I'd just become a boss myself!"

Shi Yi treated her online boyfriend like a diary, venting to him every day. He was a model boyfriend: he listened to her complaints and cheered her up by showering her with money.

Gradually, Shi Yi began trying to expand her sales to her online boyfriend.

[Darling, do you need dentures? I can get you an employee discount!]

She was still thirty thousand short of her sales target this month. If she couldn't make it up, her internship evaluation was in danger!

Nervously, Shi Yi waited for his reply. The "typing..." indicator stayed on for ages before a message finally appeared.

[Baby, my mom is a terrible boss. Quit your job. I'll steal money from her to support you!]

[The other party sent you 1,000,000 yuan.]

Even more shocking than the transfer with its string of zeroes was the word "mom."

Who was his mom?

Her boss???

[Blurb Two]

After Yao Mengxun learned that the girl he liked had started an internship at his own mother's company, he pulled some strings to become a lucky viewer in her livestream. He managed to get Shi Yi's contact information and eventually became her online boyfriend.

Before they could even meet in person, the conflict between his girlfriend and his mother had already been escalating.

Afraid he'd lose his girlfriend before he could win her over, Yao Mengxun bought everything in Shi Yi's livestream, determined to make her the company's top salesperson all by himself.

Later...

He looked at the dentures filling his home and received another sales pitch from his girlfriend. After much deliberation, he decided to come clean.

[Quit this job. I'll steal money from my mom to support you.]

Deliberate Predation

The first time Zhou Xuyao saw Wen Shu, she was his roommate's "admirer." She waited alone outside the lounge, ignoring the suggestive sounds coming from inside. Even when his roommate hurried out to meet her, she still gently offered him the things she was holding.

How pathetically devoted. What an idiot.

He judged her with cool disdain, feeling rather sorry for the silly girl.

The next time they met, the girl stood beneath the rain in a white dress, like a cat abandoned by its owner.

Zhou Xuyao's heart softened, and he took the cat into his car.

People who don't love themselves deserve to be treated that way.

He thought this with exasperation, though a hint of irritation crept into his heart.

Later, his roommate's ex-girlfriend ruined his reputation and left him with nothing. He holed up in their dorm room, completely despondent.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xuyao stared at the newly announced relationship post on his girlfriend's social media, taking hundreds of screenshots. He couldn't suppress the smile at the corner of his lips.

Opportunity favors the prepared.

And Wen Shu was born to belong to him.

When Wen Shu learned that her boyfriend had cheated on her and hooked up with a rich heiress, all she wanted was to retrieve the things she had left with him, expose the scumbag, and make him face justice.

But every time, she ran into a man who made no sense.

When she first met Zhou Xuyao, he took her to wait outside the lounge for her scumbag boyfriend. He looked at her with pity, as if she were a clown.

Wen Shu: "???"

Were all the people around that scumbag this messed up?

The next time she saw Zhou Xuyao, she was stranded in the rain. After getting into his car, he calmly and courteously offered her a clean towel. Just as Wen Shu was about to thank him, he casually asked:

"Do I need to get in line to pursue you? If I'm handsome, can I cut in?"

Wen Shu: "???"

Sure enough, everyone around that scumbag was messed up.

A few months later, Wen Shu finally dumped her unbearable ex-boyfriend and got her revenge for being cheated on. But her ex pursued her like a rabid dog, calling to harass her every day and blocking her door to beg her to take him back.

Wen Shu was sick of it, but someone else lost his cool before she did.

The room grew warm, the air intimate and suggestive. Held in someone's arms, Wen Shu felt a flurry of kisses fall along her neck. Each word he spoke was colored with jealousy and aggrieved frustration. "Make it official! You have to give me a proper title!"

What kind of bastard thought he could harass his wife!
