Quit You [A Carefully Laid Scheme]

This story has had a major revision. This is the final Jinjiang version~~

Blurb:

Chu Yao, the only daughter of Jiangcheng's richest man, is peerlessly beautiful. Her father treasures her, her best friend is as close to her as a sister, and she has a handsome young fiancé from a wealthy family who loves her just as much as she loves him.

For the first twenty years of her life, she got everything she wanted and lived in dazzling luxury. The worst thing she ever had to deal with was iced Americano!

On the day of her engagement, a crack appears in her perfect life. Humiliated, Miss Chu grabs her evening gown and runs into the rain. At her most wretched, Gu Chenyuan finds her...

When she wakes, the man is dressed in black trousers and a black suit jacket with a white shirt. Leaning coolly and elegantly against the vanity at the foot of the bed, he slowly fastens his crystal cuff links and says with a bitter edge, as though deeply insulted, "Miss, I have to say, you sure know how to make use of a temporary substitute like me!"

As time passes, they fall in love. When their feelings run deep, Gu Chenyuan pins Chu Yao in a corner. She pants delicately, on the verge of tears, and showers him with sweet words: "You're not a substitute. I love you. No one can replace what we have."

Gu Chenyuan's heart races out of control. The defenses he built deep inside him crumble completely, and at last he gives his heart to her.

Later, complications arise. Gu Chenyuan storms into a private room and drives out the people reveling inside. His voice is cold and cutting as he says, "Is this what your so-called love is worth, Miss?"

Chu Yao replies nonchalantly, "Even a low price is still a price. Better than giving it away for free."

A storm gathers in the man's eyes. He kicks over the tea table in front of him and demands, his voice laced with anguish, "Who was it that kept saying no one could replace what we had?"

Chu Yao lets out a quiet, mocking laugh. "It's true that no one can replace what we had. But, Mr. Gu, plenty of people can replace you anytime!"

All the women in Jiangcheng envy Mrs. Gu. Before marriage, she had a good father; after marriage, she has a good husband. No matter how much trouble Mrs. Gu gets into, President Gu indulges her without limit and puts up with all her spoiled heiress moods!

Content warnings: The male lead is mildly coercive in love. The female lead is a dazzling, straightforward beauty. The male lead has a perfect face and figure, top-of-the-line in every way, is faithful, calculating, and willing to steal another man's love, scheming at every turn.

The leads aren't perfect, so please don't criticize them, and especially don't criticize the author. If you absolutely must criticize the author, then criticize the male lead instead. Wishing everyone happiness every day and wealth every year.

Blurb:

When Mu An'an was eight, she went to sweep her mother's grave and saw a handsome boy, beaten and covered in wounds for stealing offerings. Moved by compassion, she took him back to the Mu family and made him her personal bodyguard.

Over the next ten years, the handsome boy grew into a striking man who captivated all of Luocheng. He was exceptionally capable, a brilliant businessman, and the perfect dream lover in the hearts of every woman in the city.

After spending every day together for ten years, Mu An'an went from being dazzled by him as a girl to falling in love as she came of age. She fell for him completely and couldn't pull herself out.

When they were forced apart, Mu An'an wept in heartbreak and despair, promising, "...I'll wait for you to come back. I'll wait for you to come back and marry me!"

When they meet again, the man she once loved has become a rising business tycoon with the power to make or break fortunes. He gazes at Mu An'an with a bright smile, though she is now another man's wife.

In front of her legal husband, he teasingly pinches her delicate chin with his long fingers and bites her tightly pressed lower lip. His voice carries a cold, bloodthirsty menace: "Mrs. Wen, what happened to promising you'd love me forever? You certainly got married in a hurry!

"Through all those nights apart, I was lovesick for you, lying awake night after night because I missed you!"

A beautiful but tragic male lead and a kind female lead.

They love each other deeply, completely, and mutually.

The female lead is in a sham marriage with the second male lead. Her heart and body belong only to the male lead. The male lead is crazy and will stop at nothing...

The first time Mo Jinyan saw Miss Sang, she was wearing a sizzling red evening gown, clutching the latest Hermes bag, and beating the hell out of a sleazy guy.

His friends, who witnessed the whole thing, commented, "That woman hits way too hard!"

Young Master Mo smiled. "She's got fire!"

Everyone understood and chimed in, "Definitely. She's fiery and gorgeous. Even the view of her back as she beats someone is alluring."

Mo Jinyan went over to strike up a conversation and got a pair of eye rolls for his trouble. Miss Sang raised her exquisite chin, proud as a beautiful peacock, and rejected him outright: "I'm taken. No dates!"

The second time Mo Jinyan saw Miss Sang was on a stormy night. Sang Qi stood outside her boyfriend's villa, helplessly watching the doors close. Frozen to the bone and with nowhere to go, she fainted in despair.

Mo Jinyan took her home and raised her in luxury...

With Mo Jinyan backing her, Sang Qi went from a fallen heiress, cast out of high society, to standing at the very peak of the social scene again. It took only two short years for her to regain her former dazzling beauty and spoiled, carefree confidence.

"I've seen you shine brilliantly among the crowd, and I can't bear to see you fall back into the dirt..."

A love that grows over time: proud, fiery heroine x powerful man who likes being put in his place. The male lead is mildly obsessive.

Theme: Love is precious, but freedom is worth more!
