Upcoming novel: “The Foolish Gold Digger’s Failed Escape” Sensitive, sweet, flirty-without-realizing-it cat bottom × aloof, controlling CEO top With only 80 yuan in savings, Sang Qi is transported into a novel as a sickly, universally despised punching bag for his family. On his eighteenth birthday, the original Sang Qi is taken down with a single injection and sent straight to a powerful man’s bed. At this very moment, the story has reached the part where he’s unbuttoned the man’s shirt... The pressure of his 1.9-meter frame, his broad chest stretching his collar open, his eight-pack sharply defined. The man grips his chin, running his thumb over the corner of his lips. “What are you trying to do?” Sang Qi’s body is weak, but his mind races through every melodramatic romance novel he’s read. He stammers, “...Maybe you need a contract wife to help fend off all those women chasing after you?” The man is silent for three seconds, then agrees. From then on, Sang Qi lives the good life, surrounded by servants, free to choose any luxury car, and able to buy whatever designer goods he wants. His one job is to play the spoiled, willful young boyfriend of CEO Yan, tearing apart manipulative matchmakers and kicking away every flirt who tries to make a move on him. The only two things that get hurt are his sore lower back and his bright red butt. Later, the original Sang Qi’s family comes looking for him. His stepmother demands five million in child-rearing expenses. Sang Qi reddens his eyes and plays the victim for Yan Xie. Before long, the money lands in his account. A few days later, Yan Xie takes him home, but his stepmother no longer mentions the money. Instead, she fawns over him and presents him with a pile of gifts. Sang Qi looks through them one by one, then nestles into Yan Xie’s arms. “Honey, none of these are as nice as the ones you give me.” Later, he takes the gifts home and resells them, and the five million... he pockets that too. His scumbag father makes it clear he wants Sang Qi to leak the Yan family’s business secrets. Before long, their chat history ends up on Yan Xie’s phone. Sang Qi acts meek and timid. “Honey, I’d never betray you.” A month later, the inheritance left by the original Sang Qi’s mother is transferred entirely into his name, with professional managers handling it and money deposited into his account every month. The original Sang Qi’s younger brother tries to send a newcomer to Yan Xie’s bed, and Sang Qi catches them “cheating” on the spot. He feels no heartbreak over their relationship ending, only joy that his mission is complete. “Well... should I leave? I wish you two the best?” Yan Xie grabs him and pulls him back, pinning him to the bed. His eyes darken. “Baby, where do you think you’re going?” Theme: Learn to be tolerant of others
