New story: [With Ulterior Motives] Ambitious little wolf × aloof, chaste older sister. If you're interested, come take a look. The blurb is at the very bottom.

Rumor had it in the entertainment industry that Best Actress Sheng Chaoruo had risen to the top by relying on a sugar daddy. Her backer was ugly, old, and bad-tempered.

Then, on a reality show, her sugar daddy finally showed his face. He turned out to be Lu Ni, head of the Lu family, the most powerful conglomerate in Jiangcheng.

The public went wild.

Ugly? President Lu is handsome enough to debut as a celebrity in a heartbeat!

Old? He's the youngest person on the rich list!

Bad-tempered? He's a devoted wife-doter. Need we say more?

Please give me a dozen sugar daddies like him!

Lu Ni: I only support my wife.

.

To Sheng Chaoruo, this was a story of a domineering CEO being tamed. It began with a contract: Lu Ni gave her money and power, and she gave Lu Ni her companionship and love.

In the end, they helped each other succeed and cherished one another.

To Lu Ni, however, it was a trap she'd laid, and twelve years of waiting for her wife to fall into it.

In the end, she had her beloved in her arms, soft and warm.

.

Sheng Chaoruo once asked Lu Ni why, out of all the graduates, she'd chosen her.

Lu Ni lifted her eyes and set down the documents in her hands.

"Because you've never been very bright. You stubbornly charged into the entertainment industry alone, and I was afraid you'd get hurt if I didn't trick you into my hands first."

Clever as Lu Ni was, she never asked Sheng Chaoruo why, after experiencing the Lu family's complicated power struggles firsthand, she still fearlessly stayed by her side.

Because when she saw Sheng Chaoruo, eyes misty with tears, still clutching the hem of her clothes, she knew that the girl she'd waited twelve years for had finally come to love her just as much as she loved her.

Twelve years of waiting, and at last her wish came true.

She protected her as she grew, watched her claim the Best Actress crown, then smiled as she held her hand and walked with her into the wedding hall.

Nothing in the world could be more perfect.

[With Ulterior Motives]

Ambitious little wolf × aloof, chaste older sister

Yu Wei fell for her classmate's older sister, Si Jiran.

Half of it was love at first sight, and half was naked ambition.

She wanted to find a backer and break into the entertainment industry, and Si Jiran was the perfect investor.

So she held tight to her classmate as a stepping stone, and edged closer to Si Jiran bit by bit. Her intentions were impure, and she had ulterior motives.

But the older Si sister was cold by nature, and her gaze never wavered when she looked at Yu Wei.

After all Yu Wei's scheming, Si Jiran did sponsor her and become the "sugar mommy" behind her success, but she was still impossible to read and just as impossible to reach.

That feeling of wanting someone she couldn't have only made Yu Wei more and more unable to resist her.

To get what she wanted, Yu Wei acted sweet and obedient, calling Si Jiran "Sis" again and again.

But when no one was around, she bared her sharp teeth and watched Si Jiran like a hunter sizing up her prey.

She was waiting for the right moment, the moment she could tuck the moon in the sky into her own pocket.

.

Si Jiran had always been indifferent, but she treasured family. So she treated the friend her younger sister brought home like another little sister.

She paid for her studies, helped her achieve her dream, and watched her become a popular actress and take the stage to accept an award.

Just as Si Jiran was looking on with pride, Yu Wei came home after the award ceremony, reeking of alcohol, and barged into her room. The eyes that had always been so obedient and well-behaved made no effort to hide their burning desire...

She'd meant to find her younger sister a good friend, but ended up finding herself a wonderful sister-in-law.

Si Jiran never imagined that this sweet, harmless girl, with her clear doe eyes and adorable little tiger teeth, could scheme so deeply.

She wanted her money, her power, her fame, and her too.

.

Yu Wei went to extraordinary lengths to finally pluck the moon from the sky. The aloof beauty in her arms toyed with her hair, a smile of inscrutable meaning curling her lips.

There's something fun about raising someone, too.

Ulterior motives?

Who doesn't have them?
