[Wealthy family + entertainment industry # The leads are not blood relatives]
**
Yu Qing first officially met Shen Muzhou at the banquet the Shen family held for her. Just as the rumors described him, he was ruthless, cold-hearted, and indifferent to others.
Among the guests raising their glasses around the table, he alone held an unopened purple lollipop between his fingers, tapping it against his wineglass again and again, making it painfully clear that he didn't welcome her.
As the guests whispered among themselves, her patience gradually ran out. She set down the glass of wine she'd been holding while waiting for his approval, walked over, and pressed down on his lollipop. With a perfunctory smile, she repeated, "Brother, I'm Shen Muqing, your little sister."
He calmly picked up his glass and drained it. Then he stood and came close, bending to twirl a lock of her hair around his fingers and hide half his face.
In front of everyone, he exposed her. "Stop pretending, Yu Qing."
**
Shen Muzhou had known from the start that the younger sister who'd gone missing years ago and been brought back home was an impostor. He played along, planning to use her to bring down the Shen family company.
But by the time he was done using her, he had fallen into her trap himself.
He knew it was a trap, and he was willing to fall into it.
Rumor had it that the Shen siblings were fighting each other to the death over the family fortune. No one knew that they were partners, on the same side, and lovers who crossed the line in the dead of night.
He knew that until everything was settled, they could only be siblings, or even enemies. But when he learned she was engaged, he still panicked.
The usually cool and composed young CEO rushed into the room, frantically tearing the decorations off the walls and smashing the photo of her with another man. After pretending for so long, it was the first time he felt he couldn't wait any longer.
A week later, she didn't get married, and news spread that Shen Muqing had gone missing again.

At the grand awards ceremony, she looked down from the stage at him. A single glance was enough for them to understand each other.
The bedroom after the banquet.
Yu Qing opened her eyes, dazed.
The man beside the bed stood tall and straight. At once, she noticed a small red mark on the collar of his white shirt.
"Easy, slowly..." He held out hangover medicine to her.
She clutched her heavy head and turned away. "Brother, I don't want it."
The smile vanished from his face. He gently rubbed her cheek and lowered his head to kiss the corner of her mouth.
"Don't call me that."
"I've always wanted something different between us."
[Cold, restrained CEO who's ruthless on the surface x rational top executive who pretends to be obedient and knows how to deceive]
[Shen Muzhou, a gentleman behind a mask x Yu Qing, a seductive beauty]
Reader notes:
1. One-on-one romance, happy ending.
2. Both leads seek revenge, each with their own revenge storyline.
3. The male lead is part of the Shen family, but has nothing to do with the Shen family company anymore.
**The story won't be too long~
Next book: The Villain Everyone Loves Mistakes the Male Lead
[Transmigrate into a book + fictional characters awaken + dual Systems]
*Synopsis:
Xiao Ruoxiao transmigrates into Jiang Anlan, a villain beloved by everyone, and is bound to a "Plot Repair System." The System threatens her into maintaining the villain's persona: she has to win over the male lead, then break off the engagement before they marry, leak secrets to ruin his company, and make the male lead, who goes bankrupt overnight, break up with the female lead...
Xiao Ruoxiao, a sweet-romance fan: "No thanks. This isn't my script. And sure, she admits she was wrong earlier, but the male lead's the one who has no sense of responsibility and dumps the female lead. Why put the blame on her? What a trash story!"
She starts to fight back...
Her resistance is futile.
With only a breath of strength left, Xiao Ruoxiao is forced to follow the plot... or rather, half-heartedly follow it, exploit loopholes, and earn points. Every day she asks herself: when can she escape this melodramatic romance?
When her progress bar hits one hundred percent, the System coldly says: [First, congratulations on winning him over.]
[But you won over the wrong person.]
**
After transmigrating into the book, Xiao Ruoxiao opens her eyes to find herself standing alone outside an engagement party. Her fiance, the original owner's, is filming a vlog as he makes a showy escape from the wedding. Laughter ripples through the room, and not a single person speaks up for her.
The Xiao reporter, who was livestreaming abroad just a moment ago: What a disaster of a start! Don't panic, don't panic... Every villain must have a tragic backstory. I need to find my place as a tragic villain.
Jiang Anlan (the Xiao reporter), who just thought the whole world had abandoned her, boldly grabs the microphone and clearly lays into every guest in the room. As soon as she finishes, a huge crowd storms into the banquet hall and shouts in unison:
"Let's see who dares bully my daughter/sister/younger sister, Lanlan..."
Xiao Ruoxiao: ?
Turns out this villain is beloved by everyone, too. Her family has her back, her sisters protect her, and even when she joins a dating show, the guests in the observation room confess their love to her...
Wait, this person looks familiar.
...Why is the person I won over by mistake chasing after me?!
*The Xiao reporter, now President Jiang: Every day, she swings between "Do I really have to be a villain?" and "Keep up the act and get out of here, fast."
The person she accidentally won over: Can't she just go with it?!
Theme: Break through your limits and chase the wind
