The Tycoon's Revenge Handbook

I've always wanted to write this. I'll continue once it gets more bookmarks.

Also known as June of A Nan

Lian Jianan is an illegitimate son nobody likes.

His half-brother's bride, Yan Geshan, looks exactly like June, the girl who once took Lian Jianan in.

But the bride's voice is icy: "Uncle, you've mistaken me for someone else."

A year later, his older brother dies suddenly.

Yan Geshan seeks out Lian Jianan, her eyes dark as ink. "A Nan, long time no see."

Everyone says Yan Geshan is a scheming gold digger. Lian Jianan gives a faint laugh. "My brother's dead, so now you've set your sights on me?"

But Lian Jianan returned to the Lian family for revenge.

So why did Yan Geshan go to such lengths to enter the Lian family?

A scheming beauty who won't waste words on you x a rogue male lead who loves to talk to the heroine

Basically, the heroine often ignores the male lead and occasionally uses him, while he is, at heart, a devoted simp.
