This novel: [Fake stepsiblings | Dog-training fiction | Refined scum | Obsessive yandere | Taking by force] Lu Nianzhi x Lu Yuzhou Cold and heartless x Clingy, twisted stalker 01 A long time ago, Susu asked Lu Nianzhi, “Will your dad find you a stepmother?” When Lu Nianzhi didn’t answer, she continued on her own: “You’d better be careful. If your dad gets you a stepmother, and then she has a son with him, there won’t be any place for you in that family. Your fancy princess bed, your limited-edition Barbie dolls, oh, and your dad too, will all belong to your little brother.” “Stepmothers are all awful. You’ll be stuck eating leftovers and sleeping on the street…” Lu Nianzhi couldn’t remember what came after that. She had spent all these years avoiding the possibility, but now the day had finally come. 02 An unfamiliar car slowed at the gate and drove slowly into the courtyard. Standing behind the curtains on the second floor, Lu Nianzhi watched a beautiful woman get out, holding the hand of a boy dressed in a finely tailored little suit. The boy was still very young, with round, bright eyes like grapes. He looked around curiously and cautiously, adorable as a doll. The beautiful woman led him over to greet Lu Nianzhi and told him to say hello. The little boy looked at Lu Nianzhi timidly and spoke in a sweet, childish voice, trying to sound obedient and ingratiating: “Hello, big sister. My name is Lu Yuzhou.” Lu Nianzhi gave a cold laugh and turned away without a word. 03 Everyone knew the young master of the Lu family as refined and elegant, with impeccable manners and a way of handling everything that left no room for criticism. It was practically a foregone conclusion that one day the Lu family’s immense fortune would pass into his hands. He was the heir. Yet no one knew that, out of sight of the public, the aloof and dignified young master of the Lu family would kneel in wretched desperation before his nominal older sister. His gold-rimmed glasses had fallen to the floor after the woman slapped him, then been crushed under a leather shoe during their argument. His usually straight back bent toward the woman on the sofa. He seized her hand in desperation, eager to give her everything he had. His voice broke with sobs: “…Big sister… Big sister… Please, I’m begging you. Don’t go. Please don’t leave me…” Lu Nianzhi shook off his clinging arms and headed for the door. Behind her, the man’s voice rang out, venomous and desperate with grief. “You made me do this! You did this to me!” Note: 1. There is no romance while the family relationship remains in place. 2. Both the hero and heroine have moral flaws. Neither is perfect. 3. The hero is an aggressive simp.
