Easygoing, carefree knight-in-shining-armor top × proud, possessive heiress bottom
[Blurb]
After a prophetic dream, Lu Zhaoyue learns that the world is a novel about a real and fake heiress, and that she’s just a passerby who’ll get caught up in the mess.
No big deal. Lu Zhaoyue focuses on living her carefree life, playing video games whenever she has free time. She feels like she’s got life all figured out.
Having been single her whole life, her current goal is to meet her online girlfriend in person and experience a real relationship.
Her online girlfriend is a sweet, soft little cutie who wears pretty dresses to send her daily outfit photos. She has long, fair legs.
Her voice is irresistibly mature and sweet. She calls Lu Zhaoyue “baby,” loves sharing everything, and is always there to make her feel good. She seems like a soulmate made just for her.
But her girlfriend keeps refusing to meet in person.

During a business collaboration, Lu Zhaoyue runs into Chu Ling, the villainous heiress from the novel, the fake daughter of the Chu family whose identity has yet to be exposed.
The young lady is cool and dignified, like a flower on a high peak, impossible to reach.
Lu Zhaoyue’s knight-in-shining-armor instincts kick in. Remembering the heiress’s destined ending, she can’t stop herself from offering a few words of advice.
After that, Chu Ling starts appearing more and more often, both at work and in Lu Zhaoyue’s personal life.
The heiress gives her expensive gifts, treats her to fine dining, brings her family into major projects, and leans on her shoulder when drunk.
She even pushes Lu Zhaoyue onto a desk and asks with an odd expression whether she has a girlfriend.
Is she… pursuing her?
Meanwhile, her online girlfriend starts acting strange too.
: Baby, have you made any new friends lately?
: Baby, who gave you that necklace? What are they to you?
: Baby, where did you go last night? Answer me.
She refuses to meet in person or date her, says all kinds of strange things, and keeps taking the money Lu Zhaoyue sends her.
Lu Zhaoyue has drained her entire savings for a future wife, so she turns to a friend for financial help.
Her friend says she must have fallen for an underage online scammer.
Ugh, finding someone to seriously date is so hard.
After another bizarre interrogation, Lu Zhaoyue proposes a breakup in a corner of a banquet hall.
Across the room, in the middle of the crowd, the heiress stares at her phone and smashes her wineglass with a grim expression.

Lu Zhaoyue’s world comes crashing down.
How could her sweet, soft little online girlfriend be the gloomy, possessive fake heiress from the novel, whose fate is so tragic?
Break up! She has to break up!
For once, Lu Zhaoyue takes a firm stand. She deletes her contact and drags her friend off to get drunk at a bar.
But the heiress soon appears, grim-faced, and carries her away.
Her friend is terrified that she’ll suffer the wrath of someone with so much power,
never suspecting that inside the car around the corner, Chu Ling has pinned Lu Zhaoyue against the door like a snake.
Her actions are forceful as she takes Lu Zhaoyue’s hand and pulls it down, but her cool eyes are red and glistening with tears, as if she’s been terribly wronged.
“Will anyone else ever treat you as well as I do? I wore what you told me to… Don’t break up with me, okay, baby?”
*
As the Chu family’s only heir, Chu Ling has never believed in love.
So when an online relationship that began as the result of a bet came along, she treated it as nothing more than a trivial diversion from her smooth-sailing life.
Until she met that person and began to lose control, unable to stop herself from crossing the line.
She seduces and tests Lu Zhaoyue again and again, trying to figure out whether Lu Zhaoyue likes her online girlfriend or the real-life version of herself.
But Lu Zhaoyue asks to break up and rejects her advances.
Lu Zhaoyue wants neither of them.
