Blurb: Shen Mian is a poor student, barely scraping by at university with part-time jobs and scholarships. Because he's poor, he can't stand his rich roommate, who acts as though money means nothing: spoiled, extravagant, and frivolous, changing partners several times each semester. His roommate has an older brother named Jiang Yancheng. He's become a CEO at a young age, controls assets worth tens of billions, and has countless lovers, changing girlfriends more often than he changes clothes. Shen Mian sneers at the thought of him. Even breathing the same air as a person like that makes him feel sick. But money is tight, and his father's medical bills are urgent. With nowhere else to turn, Shen Mian grits his teeth, creates a "sweet, adorable girl" persona, and decides to lure rich, gullible young men who love beautiful women into giving him money online. He manages to hook the biggest fish of all: his roommate's older brother. Following the sugar-baby tips he bought online, Shen Mian softens his voice, makes it sweet, adds tildes to his messages, and acts cute and clingy just right. "Big brother, I accidentally lost my earbuds. Buying a new pair is so expensive, sob~" "It's so cold today. I wish I had a wool coat!" "My roommate's boyfriend gave her a new lipstick, and the color is so pretty. She's so lucky~" "I argued with my dad a couple days ago, and he cut off my allowance. I'm going to have to eat dirt this month TnT" The sweet voice messages, paired with the leg-baring photos he sent so casually, predictably reeled the man in. Within half an hour of each message, the transfer notification would sound. Shen Mian watched the numbers in his balance keep climbing and sneered inwardly, while saying sweetly, "Thank you, big brother! You're so nice! I love you the most!" He changed Jiang Yancheng's contact name to "Big Dumb Mark" and cursed him as a brainless pervert while taking his money. Once his father's health improved, Shen Mian blocked every way Jiang Yancheng could contact him without a second thought. He naively believed the scam would end with the block. Then, half a month later, at the bar where Shen Mian had found a new part-time job, he felt a cold gaze pinning him in place. A tall, straight-backed man with sharp features was staring at him: the "sucker" whose money he'd swindled. Shen Mian nervously finished his night shift, only to be cornered in a dark alcove by the bar's back entrance. The man's warm breath brushed his ear, but his voice was cold as ice. "Avoiding me?" Shen Mian stiffened all over, his face turning pale. "Sir, I don't know you..." "You don't know me?" Jiang Yancheng gave a soft laugh and pinched his chin. "A few days ago, you were calling me hubby. Why don't you know me today?" His fingertip brushed Shen Mian's trembling lips. "When you pretended to be a woman to swindle me, did you ever think about the price you'd have to pay?" Shen Mian tried to make excuses, but a burning kiss silenced him. That night, Shen Mian finally learned what it meant to suffer the consequences of his actions. From the car to the bedroom, Jiang Yancheng showed him that debts must be repaid. And Shen Mian's debt was enough to keep him from getting out of bed for three days and three nights. At last, he understood that rich, powerful men were never fools. He was the one who'd become the prey. Theme: Let passion overcome every obstacle
