The Sickly Beauty Is Spoiled by a Powerful Tycoon

After the real young master of the Lin family returned, Gu Siyan became an adopted son in an awkward position and was moved into the servants' quarters. As soon as he came of age, his so-called father sent him off as a gift to marry into the family of a rich second-generation heir. The rich heir was a womanizer and looked down on Gu Siyan's timid, easily flustered nature. After only a few days, he lost interest and demanded to break off the engagement. He even mocked him, saying, "No one wants to spend their whole life sleeping beside a wooden post." Gu Siyan became the laughingstock of the whole city after his engagement was called off. The Lin family gave up on their disobedient, useless adopted son too, and passed him on to a powerful man to keep as a canary. Rumor had it that this powerful man had a strange temper and was unpredictable, treating everyone with the same cold indifference. On the night he was sent to the Ye family, Gu Siyan remembered the terrifying rumors and couldn't stop trembling. He fought through his fear to please the man, but the more nervous he became, the more mistakes he made. His tears stained the man's expensive suit. Gu Siyan closed his eyes in despair, waiting for his humiliating fate. The furious outburst he'd imagined never came. The man reached out and gently wiped the tears from the corner of his eye, his voice as tender as if he were soothing a child. "Don't cry." Like a beam of light breaking through the darkness, the man rescued him from the black abyss he'd been trapped in for years. Everyone was waiting for the Lin family's sickly, timid, tearful young master to be thrown out of the Ye residence. But after waiting and waiting, what arrived was a wedding invitation from the head of one of the capital's top families. The invitation had black characters on a red background, clearly spelling out the name of the young master the Lin family had abandoned. The news sent the whole city into an uproar.

Because he was poor, he couldn't stand his rich second-generation roommate, who treated money like it was nothing and lived extravagantly, getting a new partner several times a semester. His roommate had an older brother named Jiang Yancheng. Though still young, he was already a CEO with billions in assets and countless lovers. He changed girlfriends more often than he changed clothes. Shen Mian held him in contempt, feeling sick at the thought of breathing the same air as someone like him. But money was tight, and his father's medical bills were urgent. With no way out, he gritted his teeth, invented a "sweet, cute girl" persona, and decided to scam rich second-generation heirs online, targeting those who were gullible, loaded, and easy to tempt with beauty. He hooked the biggest fish of all: his roommate's older brother. Shen Mian followed the scammer tutorials he'd bought online, making his voice soft and sweet, adding tildes to his messages, and acting cute just enough to be convincing. "Big brother, I accidentally lost my earphones. Buying a new pair is so expensive, sob~" "It's so cold today. I wish I had a wool coat!" "My roommate's boyfriend got her such a pretty lipstick. She's so lucky~" "I argued with my dad a few days ago, and he cut off my allowance. I'm going to be eating dirt this month TnT" His sugary voice messages, paired with the pictures he sent showing off his legs, predictably reeled the man in. Every time he sent a message, a transfer notification would chime less than half an hour later. Shen Mian watched the number in his balance climb and sneered inwardly, while sweetly saying, "Thank you, big brother! You're so good to me! I love you most!" He changed Jiang Yancheng's contact name to "Big Dumb Mark" and took his money while cursing him inwardly as a brainless, lecherous idiot. Once his father's health improved, Shen Mian immediately blocked every one of Big Dumb Mark's contact details. He naively thought the scam would end with the block. Half a month later, at the bar where Shen Mian had started a new part-time job, he felt a cold gaze lock onto him. The man standing there was tall and straight-backed, his features stern. It was the "sucker" he'd scammed. Shen Mian finished his night shift in terror, only to be cornered in a dim spot behind the bar. The man's warm breath brushed his ear, but his voice was as cold as ice. "Avoiding me?" Shen Mian stiffened, his face deathly pale. "Sir, I don't know you..." "You don't know me?" Jiang Yancheng chuckled and gripped his chin. "Just the other day you were calling me hubby. How come you don't know me now?" His fingertips brushed Shen Mian's trembling lips. "When you pretended to be a woman and scammed me, did you ever think about what you'd have to pay for it?" Shen Mian tried to stubbornly deny it, but a scorching kiss silenced him. That night, Shen Mian finally learned what it meant to suffer the consequences of his own actions. From the car to the bedroom, Jiang Yancheng showed him that debts must be repaid. And the debt Shen Mian owed was enough to keep him from getting out of bed for three whole days and nights. He finally understood that powerful men from wealthy families were never fools. He was the one who'd become the prey. Theme: Work hard to become a better version of yourself.
