After Stealing the Heiress's Treasure

The story is almost over. If this gets 150 saves before it goes premium, I'll add one more bonus chapter. Ahem. Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem.

Dao Xiao is the most ordinary person in the world. She's timid, selfish, and base, but also brave, ambitious, and resilient.

One ordinary day, she finds herself inside a school romance about a rich heiress and a poor boy.

But she doesn't become any member of the main cast. She's still just an utterly ordinary person.

As a nobody in the book, she should naturally stay away from every character the story names, lest she get caught in the crossfire.

Dao Xiao knows her place.

But somehow, something goes wrong. The male lead strays from the original plot and keeps coming after her, again and again.

Xu Changshang's inexplicably intense concern leaves Dao Xiao scrambling to get away.

Every time she tries to avoid him and put some distance between them, Xu Changshang only draws closer, more fervently than before.

Her attempts to push him away come to nothing, and she can only endure it.

The result is that the female lead, the heiress, comes looking for her.

Dao Xiao watches the young lady effortlessly trample her into the mud from a short distance away, and hears her say:

"You think you're worthy of laying a finger on Xu Changshang?"

Suddenly, she remembers a passage from the book.

The woman Xu Changshang spent his whole life searching for would, in the end, be treasured by him above all else.

But why should Dao Xiao be made a fool of like this?

She'll fight for him. She'll take that treasure for herself.

※※

Xu Changshang had a spectacular start in life: a father destined to spend the rest of his days in prison, a gravely ill mother, mercenary relatives, and a cold, selfish self.

He thought a person like him had no heart, until one day the System showed up and demanded he cut it out and offer it to a girl.

Xu Changshang: Dream on.

Later, he dreamed of being her dog.
