[Two-faced innocent girl VS arrogant, selfish young devil]
[Sex first, love later | groveling redemption | partly coercive | a touch of political scheming]
“A tyrant who plans every move, a liar who speaks nothing but lies: the player and the pawn become the loves of each other’s lives in their game.”
Shortly before her father died, he received a phone call from Jiang Zhixian, the head of the Jiang family. Chen Yao resolved to take revenge. After some maneuvering, she successfully entered Yun Ning.
A tall figure loomed over her, his suit jacket crumpled. A large hand clamped firmly around Chen Yao’s neck. “Those tricks of yours aren’t enough to take down that old bastard.”
She opened her eyes in disbelief and was so frightened she lost her voice.
The man’s face was so bewitchingly beautiful it dazzled her. At the end of his long hair hung a priceless nine-eyed dzi bead. He gripped her chin, his expression arrogant beyond measure. “Little good-for-nothing, call out for me a couple of times, and I might consider helping you.”
·
Jiang Guiyi, the Jiang family’s second son, was nicknamed the Bewitching Ghost. He had the face of an unparalleled beauty, a vicious and extreme personality, an unsheathed blade at his waist, and Taotie and Taowu tattoos on the backs of his hands.
Bound together by their interests, she had no choice but to take the risk and deal with the tiger.
Jiang Guiyi made it to the top of the pyramid, and grew even more unhinged. Chen Yao was no longer as composed as she’d been at first. She tried everything to escape his control, changing her name and hiding in Liangchuan as a low-ranking actress.
One day, a pair of hands brought her company to a halt, from its strategy to its finances. She saw the man who could bend the world of capital to his will once again.
In full view of everyone, he stepped toward her. She felt as if a venomous snake had fixed its gaze on her. Her heart pounded with every step, while danger bared its fangs all around them. His hands climbed to her neck, stroking the fragile bones that could snap so easily.
“Yaoyao.”
“I told you, you can’t get away.”
.
Later.
Every billboard in Southern Chu was plastered with Chen Yao’s photos. At the heart of the costly CBD, towers rose from the ground, their window frames ornamented with jade and jewels, their golden columns reaching up to a crystal dome. It was a magnificent cage.
Jiang Guiyi put an arm around Chen Yao’s shoulder, tapping his fingers lightly and aimlessly to show his nonchalance and dominance. “Superstar, would Gallop Entertainment suit you? Run again and I really will kill you.”
“Then what do you want?”
He took her hand and placed it over his chest. His heartbeat was fast and strong.
“I want to trade this for a kiss from you.”
Reader’s notes:
1. The setting is fictional: Southern Chu is a city of boxing and martial arts. The four major boxing schools are backed by four major financial groups. The story begins during the Jiang family’s internal power struggle, and Gallop Entertainment is founded later.
2. The leads’ names were chosen deliberately. The heroine is no pushover, and there are twists! The hero is a career-obsessed, truly rotten scoundrel in the early stages. He’s genuinely deranged, so read with caution if that bothers you!
3. SC/HE
4. The author will personally provide all the food for this series, and promises that the story’s basic values are sound. The boxing and martial arts moves are not professional instruction. Do not imitate them.

Upcoming story in the same series
[Scheming beauty from the slums & heir to an ultra-wealthy family]
[1v2 | everyone is a villain | game of deception]
Wang Tian’s childhood dream: become one of the “upper class,” at any cost.
She set her sights on the Xing family, at the very top of the social pyramid: a prominent clan with a century of history.
She came up with two ways to do it.
First, help her still-charming mother marry into wealth.
Second, win over one of the twin heirs herself.
.
The first time Wang Tian entered Qianyuan Manor on Open Day, the twin brothers were lounging on a bench beside the riding track. Both wore knee-high leather boots, their calves muscular. A tall horse stood nearby, surrounded by a pack of fierce hunting dogs.
Wang Tian lowered her eyes and bowed respectfully. “Good day, young masters. I’m the daughter of Steward Wang.”
The older brother, Xing Chuanqi, coiled a rein in his hand. Looking down at her with an aloof expression, he said, “Little mice who steal cheese never come to a good end.”
The younger brother, Xing Chuanyu, spoke with mocking disdain. “Qianyuan doesn’t support freeloaders. Your mother can be a maid, and you can serve my dogs.”
.
After her scheme was exposed, sunlight filtered through the plane trees outside the window, casting shifting shadows on the verdant scene. Xing Chuanyu gripped her neck. “Quite the ambition you have, little dog-slave.”
His palm slowly covered her throat. Wang Tian’s face flushed red as she raised her brows in defiance. “And what of it, brother?”
Xing Chuanyu kissed her savagely. The violent impact shattered the glass across the floor.
The twins shared each other’s sensations. Xing Chuanyu, breathing hard, left the corner.
.
Once, when Xing Chuanyu was sent to New York, Wang Tian’s relationship with Xing Chuanqi grew by leaps and bounds. That day, in the back garden, the man left a red flower of evil on her slender, pale neck. As the same face rocked wildly in her field of vision, a message arrived on the phone hidden in the brambles from across the ocean.
[I’m negotiating a deal with Massino and the Nova family. Could you and Sweetie pick another time, bro?]
[Remember to take a video for me, from my favorite angle.]
The woman panted. “What’s wrong...?”
The man wiped the droplets off the screen and said hoarsely, “You’re too nervous.”
Reader’s notes:
1. The heroine is mentally ill, has a split personality, and is morally flawed. She steals, forces others, and stops at nothing.
2. The twins share each other’s sensations. They’re brothers with a name that sounds like “the curious brothers.”
3. SC/HE, satisfying and not angsty, large ensemble cast rather than a story focused on just two characters.
