I Won Big in a Wealthy Family Business-War Novel by Being Ridiculous

* Added the ending and a short bonus chapter.

* Please pre-save my upcoming novels: "Bound to a Tortured Romance System with My Top-Tier Star Ex" and "The Green Tea Young Master Watches You in Silence"

(The main story is told in third person.)

I, Jia Chuhu, a good-for-nothing rich girl through and through, was used as a pawn by my adoptive parents and sent to get up to no good by the side of their business rival, Chunyu Sen.

They say Chunyu Sen, who can control the business world with one hand, already has someone in his heart. So how could a fake like me ever catch his eye?

Because he has trouble walking, and finding a substitute was just a way to play with a cat or dog and relieve his boredom (crossed out) - because I'm obedient and honest, doge:

My adoptive parents told me to steal trade secrets, so I changed the smart-home voice AI in the marital home from a cute girl's voice to a burly man's breathy moans!

Chunyu Sen asked me to help with his ruthless schemes, so I sneaked into his rival's company and poured boiling water on every feng shui money tree. That very day, the rival's stock hit its daily limit down!

Now that is real business warfare.

Caught between both sides, every day I was (walking on) thin (ice) (while eating) (fries) (that smelled delicious), and I almost forgot it was time to divorce Chunyu Sen and split the assets.

But when I was ready to leave with my whole skin intact, everyone tried to stop me:

My adoptive parents demanded compensation for the money trees, saying there were actually listening devices hidden inside them. Chunyu Sen tricked me into renewing our marriage alliance contract, adding a new clause that he could personally breathe for me to hear...

Even all the A's, B's, C's, and D's who'd been waiting to laugh at me were weeping and begging: You two have to stay together forever! Please don't let him out to bully people again!

Me, now corrupted: A mere ten million? You think a few million yuan can tempt a business-warfare expert like me to change sides?

Actually, I'm just too lazy to move.

(Hero's perspective)

Chunyu Sen, betrayed by everyone, was reborn. This time, he planned to lie low, become a great villain, and toy with everyone.

So he picked an insignificant Jia Chuhu at random.

Not long after...

His wife was so cute. Forget lying low.

- A big shot who can't resist her versus a laid-back, unbothered slacker -

① "When a Goofball Is Reborn as the Male Lead's Beloved Male Supporting Character [Cross-Dressing]" ID8070504

In one sentence: Reborn as a womanizing male supporting character, holding an indescribable script, only to discover the original character was a woman in disguise...

② "Bound to a Tortured Romance System with My Top-Tier Star Ex" ID7793418

[You are the extra female character in an 'yin-yang script': 380 episodes in all, and you suffer physically and emotionally for 250 of them. In the end, your childhood sweetheart, the male lead, abandons you and has a happy ending with the woman fate had chosen for him.]

Tsk, why make things so complicated?

A mini Mei Shi walked up to a mini Piao Yueyao, who was playing with a toy car. Hey! Want to date?

Then little Piao Yueyao drove his toy car with his first-love girlfriend for a spin - and the next day, little Mei Shi dumped him. All that remained was the toy car's horn blaring, "So easy"...

#The concentrated essence is the best. A special offer: a pure little-kids' movie with a runtime of just 0.25 episodes, brought to you with love!#

But Mei Shi never expected that years later, she'd become the "ex-girlfriend I can't forget, the one I loved but could never have" in superstar Piao Yueyao's words.

...?

Damn you, 250 System. You're adding extra scenes.

The System, which insists its famous tortured romances aren't called 250, got angry: You're the one making a fuss and blaming me!

(Again) [You are top-tier star Piao Yueyao's childhood sweetheart and ex. Your childhood friend has become a hugely famous star. He pins you against the wall and brazenly demands that you get back together and continue your secret relationship. You...]

"Happily agree, but ask for an appearance fee of 2.5 million per episode?"

Mei Shi smiled coyly and went along with it - then dumped the top-tier star again 2.5 days later...

After 2.5 days of hard work, Piao Yueyao sat up in bed, licked his lips, and awakened to his villain persona.

"Again."

* Zen-minded, laid-back childhood sweetheart versus a top-tier star who's sometimes a wolf and sometimes a puppy *

③ "Reborn as a Spy, Getting Away with Murder Thanks to My Looks" ID7817763

Du Zhisi failed her tribulation and nearly reverted to her original form. Fortunately, she was reborn in an ordinary human body, though unfortunately as a low-ranking spy.

She was being presented to the king who ruled this land.

Du Zhisi: This is great! Then I'll become queen.

"Wake up. The king has never been interested in women."

Not long after...

The king indulges in women within the palace and neglects state affairs beyond it. He refuses to heed loyal advice, and the border defenses are in danger.

His ministers suddenly come to their senses: Witch! Give us our king back! Give us our king back!

Meanwhile, Du Zhisi is busy clutching her aching waist: Don't come any closer!

On her first night trying to become queen, Du Zhisi nearly broke her back.

On the second night, Du Zhisi: Damn it. I was told he was a cold-blooded man who never gave women the time of day! But he's clearly so hot...

On the eighth night of trying to become queen, Du Zhisi kicked the king right out of her bedchamber.

The man gave a cold laugh outside the door and pushed his way in.

Then Du Zhiyuan's coquettish cry rang out from inside:

"Why doesn't your door have a bolt?!"

#A reckless little minx who brings her own ruin versus a mighty king who will work her to death (crossed out)#
