The novel is complete. Please support the official release. Thank you!

In the third year of their contract relationship, Ling Qi was very satisfied with Jiang Zhi.

This was mainly reflected in the following:

1. She was dedicated and professional, posting on Weibo every day to express her love for him,

so the whole internet would know about their sweet life together.

(Her: ? Didn't you pay me to do that?)

2. Whenever a woman approached him, Jiang Zhi would always step in front of him.

(Her: Wasn't that the first requirement when I applied to be your secretary?)

3. Every night, she would say good night to him.

(Her: Who's the one assigning me tasks before bed every night? Ever heard of professional conduct?)

What he liked best was that Jiang Zhi had been secretly in love with him for three years without ever confessing, and had never caused him any trouble.

Ling Qi: She's different from other women. She doesn't want my money!

This idea was soon confirmed.

When Ling Qi proposed renewing their contract and increasing her pay,

Jiang Zhi refused without hesitation and announced that she was resigning and leaving the company.

Ling Qi: See? She really doesn't want my money!

Then he posted online in the middle of the night: Why would someone who's secretly in love with me insist on leaving when she has the chance to stay by my side?

A reply: Maybe she loves you but can't have you, so she's chosen to leave.

That day, Ling Qi knocked on Jiang Zhi's door.

"I'll be with you. Just don't leave."

Jiang Zhi: ???

Later, Jiang Zhi watched Ling Qi stick to her without ever leaving her side,

her head full of questions.

How had the serious, somewhat nitpicky, sexually indifferent man she'd known become a clingy husky?

The kind that even wags its tail!

1. Xia Zhi, who was about to enjoy a happy college life, died.

Fortunately, a System called 8848 came to her.

"Collect 100% dislike points, and you'll get the chance to be reborn."

Of course she couldn't pass up a deal that good.

And so... she transmigrated into a book.

The original owner, also named Xia Zhi, was a notorious female side character who made trouble, did whatever she pleased, and acted arrogantly.

After getting the general gist of things, Xia Zhi opened the task panel and took a look.

Well, would you look at that? The task was 99% complete.

"This is way too easy. Looks like I'll be home by tomorrow!"

Full of confidence, Xia Zhi knocked over Student No. 1's water cup.

She hadn't expected someone to have put a ton of salt in it.

The newly awakened, pitiful Student No. 1: So Xia Zhi is actually a good person.

Task progress: 98%

Xia Zhi: ???

Unconvinced, Xia Zhi snapped, "Why are you crying? All you do is cry."

Student No. 2, whom she'd scolded, froze. "You're right. I should fight back. Thank you. You're such a good person."

Task progress: 97%

Xia Zhi tried her hardest, making all kinds of trouble,

but in the end, she managed to get the task progress down to... 20%.

The little troublemaker was practically becoming the model of a good person.

But by a stroke of luck, she discovered

that the male lead had a 100% dislike bar, and it was especially easy to fill!

And so Xia Zhi began a delightful routine: reporting the male lead for skipping class today, catching him fighting tomorrow, and stopping him from sleeping through class the day after.

But as she kept at it, the progress bar didn't go up. Instead, it jumped back and forth, and even went down!

Until... the male lead said, "I know you like me. I accept!"

Xia Zhi: ?!!

#I only wanted him to hate me, but he fell for me instead?#

#How am I supposed to explain this?#

---- "She Gets Her Way Through Favoritism (Entertainment Industry)" ----

1. Ruan Yuanyuan is a newly debuted actress. She has a sweet, cute face and mediocre acting,

but she's famous throughout the entertainment industry,

all because she's spoiled, willful, and acts like a diva.

Her dramas weren't hits, but she was getting criticized before they even aired.

However, anyone who criticized her would receive a lawyer's letter.

Her tough, unapologetic attitude only made the audience dislike her more.

People thought that once netizens turned against her, she'd be finished,

but one job after another kept coming her way.

Not only that, she openly declared that she was going to pursue the Best Actor,

yet the usually outspoken actor didn't say a word in response.

Just as everyone began to think no one could control her, and that she had powerful connections backing her,

her roles, advertisements, and variety show appearances were all given to other people.

Overnight, Ruan Yuanyuan seemed to have fallen from grace.

Netizens speculated that her wealthy backer must have gotten angry and she was being blacklisted.

Just as they began to mock her, she appeared on a dating reality show,

with none other than Xie Zhi, a powerful business magnate beyond anyone's reach, as her partner.

While everyone waited to see her embarrass herself,

they watched Xie Zhi tirelessly handle everything for her, fussing over her like a doting father.

Netizens: !!!

2. Xie Zhi is decisive and utterly cold. He's known as the Cold-Faced Yama.

Everyone thinks he's heartless and emotionless, a genuinely cold-blooded animal,

but those around him know that one person can sway his emotions: Ruan Yuanyuan.

When the young woman acts cute, she's soft and sweet, with a lovely voice,

but her temper is actually astonishingly bad. Everyone says no one can put up with her.

Xie Zhi just smiles and says nothing.

People thought that the doting Xie Zhi would never get angry with Ruan Yuanyuan,

but after she professed her love for the Best Actor online,

he grew cold toward her, ignored her, and even told her to move out of his house.

Xie Zhi would remember the tears on her face that day for the rest of his life.

She said, "I was wrong."

But he didn't regret it.

A genuinely willful, hot-tempered little princess x A cold-faced, dark-hearted CEO

The first one to fall in love loses. Xie Zhi lost completely.

One male lead, one female lead, happy ending. The heroine really is willful. She doesn't truly like the Best Actor; she's just a shallow fan who thinks he's good-looking and finds it fun.

They're not related by blood; she was simply fostered in the male lead's home.

Theme: Be independent and strong
