The Evil Fiancée in a Cliché CEO Romance

Synopsis:

After Ji Yan is bound to the System, she learns that she is merely the vicious fiancee side character in an old-fashioned domineering CEO novel about winning back an ex-wife.

She is arrogant, willful, conceited, and unreasonable, yet comes from a top-tier wealthy family and has been doted on by her parents and older brother all her life. Relying on her status as the male lead's fiancee, she constantly targets and frames the heroine, pushing her down the stairs, causing her to miscarry, and stopping at nothing to show her vicious nature.

In the end, she drives the heroine to flee to a foreign country, setting off the classic melodramatic "pregnant runaway" plot. Three years later, the heroine returns with her genius child. The male and female leads run into each other at the airport, and the male lead orders the entire city of A turned upside down until the mother and child are found.

With the genius child's help, the leads reconcile. The male lead finally realizes his feelings, then turns away from his bride at their wedding to take the heroine's hand and announce to the world that she is the woman he loves most.

Betrayed, Ji Yan grows to hate them and vows to make them pay. But after an inexplicable drop in IQ, she kidnaps the male lead's son, prompting his furious revenge and driving her family's company into bankruptcy. Her father is disappointed, her mother heartbroken, and even her one beloved older brother coldly cuts ties with her.

The male lead sends her to a psychiatric hospital, where she is tormented and eventually dies a miserable death.

The novel is over ten million words long and has 9,298 chapters. It contains every must-have element of an old-fashioned domineering CEO novel, including but not limited to: a one-night stand and contract between the leads, a domineering CEO forcing his love on the heroine, the heroine's tragic past, "You only love my money," "Woman, you're playing with fire," the vicious fiancee making a dazzling entrance just as the leads are about to get together, "Here's a check for five million, leave him now," a fall down the stairs and miscarriage, the heroine running away while pregnant, a genius child, and the male lead's arduous quest to win back his wife.

Now, having awakened to the entire plot, Ji Yan is being forced by the story to reach out with her wicked hands toward the heroine...

Ji Yan: ???

Could anyone actually do something like this?

She was raised under the national flag, for crying out loud. She was one of the top ten model students!

Unfortunately, the plot is too powerful. Ji Yan keeps slipping into "crazy mode." One second, she's viciously pulling out a five-million check to slap in the heroine's face; the next, she's tightly clutching the check she's already shoved into the heroine's hand, making a face as she tries to negotiate.

"Could it be a little less? I only get 500,000 a month in pocket money!"

That five million is ten months of her allowance!

The heroine: ???

To stay alive, Ji Yan walks a tightrope along the plot every day, desperately doing whatever she can to survive and hoping to make it through two more chapters.

But she still can't overcome the power of the plot. On the day the heroine resolutely decides to run away while pregnant, Ji Yan cries even harder than the male lead. Forgetting all about his protagonist halo, she grabs him by the collar and demands:

"How could you let the woman you love most leave you? Don't you know she's carrying your child?"

The male lead: ???

Two thousand chapters later, the despairing Ji Yan still puts on a wedding dress and walks toward the final big moment in her plot: her wedding to the male lead.

She waits for him to come to his senses at the wedding, then pursue his wife through fire and water so they can live happily together as a family, while she is forced to lose her intelligence, kidnap his son, and suffer his furious revenge.

The priest reaches the last line of the vows and asks whether anyone present objects. Ji Yan is already prepared to accept what comes next.

But the next second, someone in the crowd stands and says with unwavering resolve, "I object."

Ji Yan turns to look at the person who has suddenly stood up to object, then checks the male lead's expression. Sure enough, his face has gone frighteningly dark.

Apparently unaware of the male lead's anger, the man who stood up calmly repeats, "Big Brother, I said I object!"

Wow...

The old-fashioned novel has turned into a melodramatic family drama in an instant.

One wedding, two grooms.

The male lead's younger brother, who was supposed to love the heroine from afar and help her quietly, now walks up to Ji Yan and holds out his hand. Ignoring the male lead's dark expression, he asks her:

"Want to come with me?"

Should she stay and wait to be humiliated and made a disposable pawn by the male lead, or take a chance and leave with him?

That's the question...

*

Xie An has a secret: he has always had a crush on his older brother's fiancee.

He is so quiet and taciturn it's almost excessive. He is neither as dazzling as his brother nor as full of promise in their parents' eyes.

Whenever his parents or elders talk about him, all they ever say is, "As long as Xiao An grows up safe and sound, that's enough. We don't ask for anything else."

Then, the year he transferred to a new school, a lively girl, noisy to the point of being a little overbearing, came and sat beside him.

She said to him, "I think you're great, and you're good-looking, too. From now on, you can stick with me!"

It was the first time anyone had ever chosen to approach him and tell him he was wonderful.

So on the day of the wedding, he made the boldest decision of his life.

He would steal her away from his big brother.

-- The heroine and the original male lead are only engaged verbally, with no actual romantic relationship. The wedding is fake.

-- This has the classic, melodramatic domineering CEO novel setup. None of the characters are perfect.

-- The male lead only likes the heroine and is unaffected by the plot.
