The Villain Cub: This Family Falls Apart Without Me

[Main story complete. The grown-up arc continues in the extra chapters.] Haicheng Police Station found a four-year-old girl. The little girl looked up at the police officers with big, dewy, grape-like eyes. She didn't cry or fuss. Her soft, adorable appearance melted the hearts of a bunch of burly men. Not long after they found her, her family hurried to the station, but their arrival was more than a little unusual. Her father was bundled up so thoroughly he was almost unrecognizable. The moment he saw his little girl, he dramatically rushed over, calling her his darling. Her mother stood tall and straight, with five burly men behind her. She was an imposing sight. Her brother and sister arrived together, but first they got into a fight outside the station... Chu Rui is part of a blended family. Her father is a legendary movie star who divorced years ago and spent many years raising his son alone. Then he met Chu Rui's mother, an overbearing female CEO who was also divorced and had a daughter. And then Chu Rui was born. But little Chu Rui doesn't know that the world she lives in is actually a book, where she is a deranged villain who ruins the romance between the male and female leads, forces the female lead to go abroad, and tries to seize the male lead's family fortune... Everyone in her family except her is a System, and everyone is deranged... Her father and brother are bent on raising a villain: Another day of spoiling our precious daughter/little sister! Her mother and sister are bent on setting the villain straight: Another day of guiding our precious daughter/little sister back onto the right path! Chu Rui in the book: A spendthrift mom, a materialistic dad, a selfish brother, and a reclusive sister. Chu Rui in reality: A domineering CEO mom, a considerate dad, a genius brother, a formidable sister, and a whole group of future big shots who have been childhood friends since they were little! P.S. The female lead really is a little kid! *************New story preview****************** "My Poor Relatives from Back Home Came to Visit" Shen Yanhua was the "three-good" student among her friends growing up: good grades, good looks, and a good personality. Her one flaw was that during her first year of college, she fell head over heels for Gu Yan from nearby A University. She was his secret girlfriend for two years, and they only went public in their graduation year. She always thought Gu Yan was the same as ever: a scion of the Gu family in the capital, with all his brilliance hidden away, as calm and elegant as an orchid, too distant to approach. Then, at a party in their graduation year, she sat beside Gu Yan, smiling, when someone nearby casually remarked, "Did you hear? Zhuang Qi is back in the country." "Tsk!" A glowing cigarette end burned him, making the man furrow his brows. It was the first time Shen Yanhua had seen that proud, aloof man with tears in his eyes. That bitterly cold winter day, several distant relatives in shabby clothes, carrying burlap sacks, appeared at the Shen family home. "I heard the Shen family has some relatives visiting?" "Oh, on Yanhua's mom's side!" "So they're poor, then? Everyone knows that back then, a country bumpkin married Professor Shen!" "You bet. Someone with an elementary school education married a PhD, and it was all thanks to Yanhua, who had the good sense to follow her mother's example and latch on to the Gu family!" "You're behind the times. Doesn't everyone know today's banquet is to welcome that person back?" The sharp, incessant whispers filled the air. Shen Yanhua sat in the lounge, looking up in surprise and confusion at her maternal aunt, and at... A set of imperial-green jade jewelry that the woman pulled from a snakeskin bag. "When You're Away from Home, You Decide Who You Are" According to the Star Calendar, after the last noble S-pheromone individual died five hundred years ago, the Alliance entered a century-long period of pheromone gland degeneration, known as the "Age of Suffocation." Two hundred years ago, the first baby with the "deficiency" trait was born. He broke free from his intense dependence on pheromones and made history with an A-grade physique, but he also had an extreme violent personality that could never be corrected. He was sentenced to life in prison. After that, a new generation of "deficient" soldiers took the stage. They had mental flaws that could never be corrected, and after the "Battle of Chaotic Harbor" a hundred years ago, every soldier began to guard the secret of their own "deficiency" to keep others from prying. Xia Yi has two secrets. Her first secret is that her "deficiency" is ridiculous. Even if only for the sake of her dignity, she has to defend this secret to the death, because she loves to brag. Xia Yi's second secret is that she has grown pheromone glands... The first thing Xia Yi bragged about was that she would get into one of the Four Great Military Academies. In an era when kids from poor planets could only attend fringe military academies, she studied with a lamp hanging from the beam and a spike pricking her thigh, just barely getting into the lowest-ranked of the four. Her second boast was that she would place first in the freshman competition. She worked herself to the bone during the day and went sneaking around at night, becoming a colorful "oddity" in the military academy's history. Her third boast was that she would lead Dongling Military Academy back to first place... Later, she kept bragging her way up until she became the youngest special forces corps commander in the stars. The biggest headache for Federation scientists is that the more exceptional a soldier's physique and mental strength, the greater the effects of their "deficiency." In short, they have a lot of problems! The thing that puzzles Federation scientists most is that the top soldiers in the Blue Sea unit who follow Xia Yi have remarkably good tempers!
