The Obsessive Big Shot's Darling

The long-form novel Mistaking the Demon Venerable for a Rehabilitation Project is currently being serialized to great acclaim: a blind top student raises a demon venerable cub into an upstanding young man.

My best friend wanted my family's fortune. Together with my boyfriend, she took advantage of Lin Beichen's obsession to keep me by his side. They planned to trick me into running away from my wedding and drive Lin Beichen completely mad.

The night I overheard the truth, my stomach hurt so badly I thought I was going to die. Lin Beichen took care of me all night, then knelt on the ground and begged me not to leave him.

He's the aloof, celibate “Buddha” of Beicheng, someone everyone looks up to. In reality, he's an obsessive lunatic with a psychological disorder.

I smiled and agreed to marry him.

I used to be a naive, delicate flower, easy for anyone to manipulate. Now I hold a knife called Lin Beichen, ready to cut through every lie.

You want to destroy him? Then I'll turn him into a blade that pierces your hearts.

But when his fingertips brush my face, I suddenly can't tell: Is this marriage, born of a scheme, the result of someone else's ulterior motives, or did he see through everything from the start and simply wait for me to walk into his cage?

Coming soon: Deep Seduction After Marriage

The year she graduated, Xiao Ya's sister, the only family she had, and her brother-in-law died in a car accident. Xiao Ya's life sank into a mire.

At the funeral, her niece hurt herself, while the rest of the family cared only about dividing up the inheritance. Xiao Ya took her niece and fled the shattered home in the pouring rain.

At her most wretched, a black umbrella appeared over her head.

She turned and saw Shen Qi sitting in a Maybach, refined and elegant, as cold as a mountain.

Cold air mixed with the man's scent washed over her in the car. Xiao Ya sat uneasily on the luxurious seat as water dripped from her clothes, leaving her in a humiliating, awkward state.

Shen Qi draped his custom-made suit over her. His brows shifted slightly. “Although the traffic court ruled that I wasn't at fault, I want to take some responsibility.”

Xiao Ya stared at the emerald watch on his wrist, her eyes stinging with tears. She leaned forward and bit hard into the man's pale wrist.

Only when the taste of blood filled her mouth did she let go and look up. Her clear, almond-shaped eyes brimmed with hatred, yet she said, “Could you... lend me some of your power? I'll be very good.”

The girl's flushed face was reflected in Shen Qi's cool, distant eyes.

She did look... pretty good.

A week later, Xiao Ya became Shen Qi's wife in a marriage of convenience.

After the wedding, they had nothing to do with each other and stayed busy with their own lives.

Until one night, Xiao Ya went to a friend's bar to celebrate her birthday. After a drinking contest, she danced a sultry number and knocked down three drunk men who tried to take advantage of her.

Sitting on a bar stool, she puffed away and declared boldly, “Get on your knees and call me Granny, or I'll make you brothers with Dongfang Bubai!”

Unfortunately, Shen Qi saw the whole thing from where he leaned against the second-floor railing.

As though he'd discovered something interesting, Shen Qi's brow lifted slightly.

She's quite the actress. [A feisty girl who pretends to be sweet x a scheming big boss]
