An Old-School, Angsty Substitute Romance with a Fake...

After a chaotic night, she woke up and asked Xu Qingyan, looking a little nervous, "Do you... like me?"

He glanced at the glaring red marks below the woman's waist. Xu Qingyan's peerlessly handsome face turned slightly green as he sneered through clenched teeth, "Sis, look in the mirror and wake up."

She broke into a radiant smile, sprang out of bed, grabbed her clothes from the floor, and quickly put them on. "Then get some good sleep. Big Sis will cover the room fee."

Character setup: A seemingly shy and innocent front-desk girl with a cold-blooded heart & an arrogant, jealous, butt-obsessed male god of a younger brother who treats everyone like air conditioning.

Warnings:

1. Neither lead is sexually inexperienced. The male lead only has eyes for her after they meet.

2. Early on, he's a jerk and she's a player; midway, he's ruthless and she suffers; later, he suffers and she gets her sweet revenge. If you're looking for a sweet romance, the beginning might disappoint you. If you don't mind angst and melodrama, feel free to bookmark it.

Xu Qingyan is handsome and talented, but like most third-generation rich kids, he loves cars and parties. He doesn't care that his big brother dumped him in a small company as an anonymous employee. Girls have adored him all his life. He gets mistaken for a celebrity whenever he goes shopping, and all his exes have been petite, fair, and slender.

That is, until a shy-smiling receptionist joins the company and splits her skirt on her first day because of her ample backside.

Xu Qingyan bets his friends that the fat girl will confess to him within a day.

He never expects that not only will she fail to confess, she'll elegantly devour him alive.

For the first time in his life, Xu Qingyan learns what it means to be humiliated and toyed with. Every day, he drags her somewhere private to "demand an explanation" and "seek compensation."

Then, before he knows it, she jumps ship to a major company on the top floor, becoming the young, wealthy business genius's personal secretary, with fresh hickey marks on her neck.

Only then does he discover that the business genius is her cousin, and looks about seventy percent like him...

Dressed in a suit, Xu Qingyan shoves her against the enormous floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor and tells her that, from today onward, the entire building belongs to him, Xu Qingyan. He forces her to sign a contract that costs her her freedom.

Lin Dongdong scoffs. "Do you like me that much?"

He looks down at her with a cold gaze. "I don't like you. I hate you."

"I hate that you wore that ill-fitting skirt that day." He tears apart the long skirt that had been bothering him for so long. "It made me lose all reason..."

The premise has been set since 2015. It's a story the author has wanted to write for a long time, and it'll be posted as soon as it gets a few more bookmarks!
