Love as Private Property

1.

Xia Ruirui saw Shen Yuqing again at the entrance to the inpatient ward. They hadn't seen each other in ten years, and now his refined, aloof aura made him seem unapproachable.

The poor boy from high school had transformed into one of the hottest esports streamers around.

Only his sharp tongue seemed to have stayed the same.

Though Shen Yuqing held a bouquet of flowers, he didn't look like he had come to visit her out of genuine concern.

A mocking smile tugged at his lips as he opened his mouth, as cutting as ever. "What surgery are you having? I'm here to collect your body."

She kindly advised him to go home, but that only made him angrier.

Xia Ruirui knew why he had come. Back in high school, she was always teasing him. During the years they sat together, he wasn't exactly obedient to her every whim, but he was indulgent.

But on the night he confessed to her at the graduation banquet, she humiliated him.

Now she was in the hospital, and it was only natural that he had come to laugh at her.

What she hadn't expected was that after visiting her, he would refuse to leave her hospital room...

2.

Everyone who knew the famous streamer Shen said he could never be a lovesick fool. No one knew that the Brother Shen they talked about had once begged the person he loved in a hushed, humble voice not to abandon him, even after she humiliated him in response to his first confession.

After their abrupt breakup, the name Xia Ruirui became completely taboo, but only Shen Yuqing knew that he still liked her.

He liked her an awful lot.

When he learned from a mutual friend that she was in the hospital, he canceled every stream he had scheduled just to take care of her.

But after he'd looked after her around the clock, she didn't even tell him when she was discharged?

3.

Even more outrageous, after the heartless woman was discharged, the internet was flooded with scandalous gossip about Shen Yuqing. According to some unknown woman, he was gay.

The famous streamer Shen didn't seem bothered when he saw the trending topic and decided to file a lawsuit immediately, only to learn that Xia Ruirui was the one who had spread the rumor.

He waved a hand and tossed the complaint his legal team had drafted overnight into the trash. His team watched him eagerly, but Shen Yuqing wore a thoroughly businesslike expression. "We absolutely can't tolerate this kind of rumor-mongering. I'll go settle the score with her myself."

His assistant, who had witnessed the whole thing, sneered. "Yeah, sure. Who'd believe that?"

Blurb:

[Book Transmigration] [Redemption and Growing-Up Story] [Both Leads Are Each Other's First] [Happy Ending]

Proud, cold-blooded white swan VS poor, quiet, insecure boy

#She accidentally won over another child of destiny...#

1.

At 24, Xiang Wan, the eldest daughter of the Xiang family, took over the family business. In just one year, she had established herself in the company, holding real power and making ruthless decisions.

After she died, rumors about her flew everywhere. The eldest daughter of the Xiang family was outstanding by anyone's measure, but her taste in men was terrible.

In her past life, Xiang Wan had put her whole heart into turning the poor boy Zhou Chengze into a rising star in the business world, giving him resources and sharing her connections. But only as she was dying did she realize that she was living inside a male-oriented novel.

Zhou Chengze was the arrogant, invincible male lead.

And she was Zhou Chengze's "white moonlight tool."

Her parents were devastated by her death and passed away one after another. Meanwhile, Zhou Chengze and his mother took the opportunity to seize the Xiang family's billions in assets.

When Xiang Wan suffered a heart attack, Zhou Chengze and the woman he was having an affair with were discussing their wedding date. Realizing they were having an affair, she turned around and slapped the scumbag.

When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the poverty-relief program.

The crown prince's mother knelt before her in public, begging her to take her precious son to the city. Xiang Wan merely sneered to herself, glanced at Zhou Chengze kneeling on the ground, and looked at the "younger sister" behind him, wearing a pink cotton jacket and looking so pitiful and lovely. "Her."

Xiang Wan had thought she and the "convenient little sister" she'd picked up were close as real sisters. A few years later, however, the "convenient little sister" went through puberty and her voice broke.

Staring at the "sister" in front of her, whose Adam's apple bobbed wildly, she widened her eyes in horror. "Where's my soft, sweet little girl? Why are you a man?"

Chen Yan: "..."

2.

The scumbag Zhou Chengze was the book's chosen male lead. Even without Xiang Wan's support, he had made it from a small mountain village to university. To get his hands on the Xiang family's fortune like he had in his past life, he confessed his love to Xiang Wan.

Zhou Chengze took her rejection in stride, certain she would fall for him eventually. After all, he'd always been lucky, ever since he was a child.

That was until he saw an entertainment news headline: "Shocking! Chen Yan's Secret Beloved Is the Heiress of the Prestigious Xiang Family!!"

The gossip-loving crowd tagged Xiang Wan like crazy. Before she could respond, the usually indifferent Chen Yan posted a single message that set off a storm: "My @Xiang Wan."

3.

Chen Yan, whom Xiang Wan had raised as a "convenient little sister" when he was young, had grown into a devastatingly handsome man without her noticing. He was also starting to look more and more like the business magnate from her past life.

She'd picked him on a whim! How had she ended up taking in the business world's next big star from her previous life?

She watched Chen Yan establish the foundations of his future business empire while still at university. She didn't reveal his identity, quietly waiting for him to tell her he wanted to go out and make it on his own.

But instead, she got a glimpse of his "sinister ambitions"...

"I don't want to call you big sister anymore."

"I want to be your lover. Would that be all right?"

Xiang Wan: "I guess... that could work."

Bonus Scene:

Chen Yan had been used to hardship his whole life and didn't know what it meant to hope for something. Then one ordinary afternoon, the noble young heiress, as beautiful as a white swan, descended from the heavens and stepped onto the barren land of Li Family Village. She pointed her slender finger at him. "Him."

He knew the young lady didn't like boys, so he pretended to be her "convenient little sister."

From that day on, Xiang Wan was the only light in his world. She was also the first person he fell in love with when he came of age.

After putting his male clothes back on, there wasn't a single day when he didn't wonder...

When would he finally get to be his big sister's lover?
