The Scheming Beauty's Thousand-Layered Tricks

The year he was most infatuated with Gu Zhongmin, Shi Xi would do anything. He had no limits.

He threw himself at Gu Zhongmin, showing him the most intimate secrets of his body.

He set aside all pride and shame and asked, "I can have your children too. Want to give us a try?"

Instead, he scared Gu Zhongmin away.

The man blocked him on every platform and left the country that very night.

They cut ties completely and never contacted each other again.

They met again years later at work, where Gu Zhongmin had become Shi Xi's new boss.

This time, Shi Xi kept to his place and treated him with the utmost respect.

Whenever Gu Zhongmin was around, he avoided showing up if he could, and kept as far away as possible.

Instead, Gu Zhongmin pressed him against the edge of his desk.

The man gripped his shoulder, his hand restraining its strength with all his might, but the resentment and anger in his eyes were impossible to hide.

"You don't keep your word."

"It's only been a few years, and you already hate me?"

☆ New story: Don't Provoke the Little Drama Queen ☆

Jiang Qi is the Fu family's stepson.

Soft-spoken and quiet, he always seems like a timid, pitiful little rabbit in need of protection.

If Gu Sufeng hadn't stumbled upon Jiang Qi's true nature, he probably would have kept falling for the act.

The soft-spoken, shy beauty in real life puts on women's clothes and dances wildly for the camera online.

Sweet and obedient in person, calling him "big brother" at every turn, he is sharp-tongued online and has insulted him from top to bottom.

"I hate my brother's friend the most. Such a try-hard."

"I have no idea what he's pretending to be."

"I really want to beat him up. I hope I can tie him up and give him a good whipping someday."

Gu Sufeng had guessed that the beauty might be different in private, but he hadn't expected him to dislike him so much. He sneered, deciding to tear off the little fox's disguise himself.

Jiang Qi was the unwanted baggage his mother brought with her when she remarried, and he had always been an awkward presence in the Fu family.

After his mother died of illness, he had no one to rely on, and his place in the family became even more tenuous.

To avoid losing his home, he had no choice but to disguise himself and work hard to please his stepfather and stepbrother.

He hated his hypocritical stepfather and his cold stepbrother.

Most of all, he hated his stepbrother's friend, Gu Sufeng.

The all-powerful young master of the Gu family treated him like a little animal to tease, with arrogant disdain, every time they met. It infuriated him.

He couldn't say anything to his face, so he vented in the livestream chat instead.

He never expected Gu Sufeng to catch him in the act.

While he was letting loose on stream, a screenshot and a message from the man popped up on WeChat:

"Good boy, you've got quite a mouth. Why not say it to my face?"
