The Butler Is Always Being Coveted

Lu Qichi is bound to a butler System.

The System says that if she successfully guides and reforms villains, she can earn an annual salary of ten million.

Lu Qichi: I understand all that.

But why do I keep feeling like my employers have started looking at me strangely?

[The Ming Family]

Ming Yue is a sensitive young heiress starved for affection, and the only biological sister of the person she resents.

To prove how different she is, she rebels and falls into depravity. In the end, she sells the company’s secrets and lands in prison in disgrace.

Lu Qichi cares for her and guides her, and saves her whenever she’s in trouble.

Under Lu Qichi’s patient acceptance, Ming Yue gradually learns to trust her.

She stops skipping school and racing cars, and becomes a wealthy young woman with excellent grades and good conduct.

Everything is moving in the right direction, and Lu Qichi considers Ming Yue her best student.

Until one night, good student Ming Yue walks into her room and leans over her.

Her scorching breath brushes Lu Qichi’s lips. Lu Qichi: “...?”

Then Lu Qichi finds out that Ming Yue has bought a ring and seems to be planning to give it to her on her birthday. Lu Qichi: “...”

Plans have changed. She makes a run for it that very night.

[The Xie Family]

Xie Tongzhou, a favored child of heaven and a CEO, suddenly loses the use of her legs and becomes gloomy and obsessive.

Lu Qichi has learned her lesson. This time, she takes on an ordinary appearance and background, and even has a wife.

She takes devoted care of Xie Tongzhou, stands up for her in public, and shows her every courtesy. Even when everyone condemns her, she remains steadfastly by Xie Tongzhou’s side.

Gradually, with Lu Qichi’s companionship and encouragement, Xie Tongzhou overcomes the shadow of her car accident and begins rehabilitation.

But every now and then, she starts finding fault with Lu Qichi’s wife.

“She’s a gambling addict. She doesn’t deserve you.”

“She’s only using you.”

“You should find someone better.”

Xie Tongzhou begins doing things Lu Qichi can’t understand.

She invites Lu Qichi’s wife over for dinner, then embraces Lu Qichi in front of her to proclaim her possessiveness.

She throws a birthday party for her butler, and plays the piano in front of everyone, even though it should be a source of trauma for her.

The day Lu Qichi discovers that Xie Tongzhou has made a will naming her as the beneficiary, Xie Tongzhou finally shows her hand: “Divorce your wife. I’ll give you everything I have.”

Lu Qichi: “...?”

The night she’s forced to divorce, Lu Qichi drinks and pretends to cry.

The CEO holds her, perfectly clearheaded, yet weeps even more despairingly than she does. “Why am I worth even less to you than that useless woman?”

“...Why can’t you just look at me? I’ll love you more than she ever could.”

[The He Family]

Very mysterious.

But as things stand, Lu Qichi now has an employer who calls her Mom.

[The Yan Family]

Years later, when the women have become leaders in their respective fields, they face the media with red-rimmed eyes. “My butler is the most important person in my life.”

“If I could, I’d give up all my wealth just to see her one more time.”

Meanwhile, Lu Qichi has long since made her fortune and settled down to enjoy life: ^_^

She sends out a group message: [Professional butler available, annual salary ten million. Get in touch at...]

The next day, the vacation island is placed under lockdown.

Her haughty employer glares at her, but speaks in a tearful voice: “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Lu Qichi: “...There are several others who want to confront me like you do. Even if you’re upset, you’ll have to wait your turn.”
