Forced to Live with the Villainous Big Shot

[Complete]

As a real-life Cinderella, Gu Sui'an should have married her wealthy boyfriend to the envy of everyone around them.

Unfortunately, she died.

She was killed in a kidnapping amid a power struggle among the heirs. Her boyfriend didn't hesitate to push her toward the kidnappers to save his own life.

And the one who planned it all was her boyfriend's younger brother, Jiang Yichen.

Jiang Yichen was the CEO's illegitimate son. He grew up in a cramped, dim attic, hated by his father and bullied by his brothers. Born cold and cruel, he never let an insult go unanswered. He lived only for revenge, and anyone who had bullied him met a terrible end.

As luck would have it, Gu Sui'an was one of them.

Given another chance at life, Gu Sui'an didn't want to die. She had to fight back.

So she went to great lengths to become Jiang Yichen's roommate. On the day she moved in, under his sinister gaze, she confessed with deep feeling, “Actually... I've liked you for a long time.”

“Why don't we team up and take your brother down!”

Jiang Yichen: ?

Compared to staying alive, what's a little self-respect?

When Jiang Yichen hit a rough patch in his career,

Gu Sui'an stayed up all night comforting him and keeping him company.

Then, because she talked too much, she earned herself a “Get out.”

When Jiang Yichen was bullied by his brothers,

Gu Sui'an stepped in front of him. “Shut your filthy mouth!”

Gu Sui'an endured humiliation and hardship until the day Jiang Yichen finally rose to power.

While he was abroad for a meeting, she packed her things and moved out in the middle of the night.

On her first night in her new home, Jiang Yichen showed up at her door.

His tall figure loomed in the shadows. He lowered his gaze and brushed his fingers over her face, his voice gentle, yet tinged with danger. “Didn't you say you liked me?”

“Then why did you move out?”

On her eighteenth birthday, Jinian learned that the world she lived in was a romance novel where readers could bet on which love interest the heroine would choose.

Male Lead 1 was the school bully, seated in the corner of the classroom: rebellious, with a sharp, slashed eyebrow and a fierce, brazen air. They said he could break someone's ribs with one punch.

Male Lead 2 was the aloof top student from the class next door. Born into a scholarly family, he had earned a recommendation to a world-class university as soon as he started high school. When he stood onstage to give a speech, his cool, distant manner made him seem untouchable.

Male Lead 3 was a transfer student and a young CEO in the making. Luxury cars took him everywhere, and he could donate an entire building with a flick of his finger. His bearing was refined and utterly unique.

According to the usual plot, they should all be devoted to the heroine.

Jinian got herself a stool and some snacks, ready to watch the drama unfold.

Then she noticed:

The school bully was tough with everyone else, but whenever he spoke to her, his face turned red.

Before every exam, the top student brought her detailed notes, claiming he wanted them to take the exam in the same room.

And whenever a heavy rainstorm hit, the transfer student would order his driver to stop in front of the classroom building, then lift his chin at Jinian with an arrogant air. “Get in. I'll take you home.”

It slowly dawned on Jinian.

Was she actually the heroine they all loved?!

-

At the graduation ceremony, all three male leads planned to confess to her at the same time.

In a panic, Jinian hid behind the auditorium's huge curtains.

Pei Gu, who had been waiting there for ages, pulled her into his arms.

The boy dropped his mask of innocence. As three sets of footsteps drew closer from outside, he kissed Jinian until her legs went weak.

Pei Gu pressed her against him, his rough fingertips rubbing her lips. His voice was low, at once seductive and threatening.

“Do you think I'm like them?”

“I won't give you a chance to refuse or run away.”
