Why Is She So Awful?

Aloof genius student wolf, emotionally numb and calmly unhinged x lazy, free-spirited, tsundere CEO cat who loves being petted. Older woman pursues her wife through heartbreak, happy ending. Ji Mingxin had lived through hardship from the day she was born and had nearly died. At last, the year she graduated from middle school, a kind-hearted, beautiful businesswoman bought her. At nineteen, she lay in the arms of the woman who had bought her. “What can I give you?” The woman nuzzled the back of her neck. “Get the highest score on the entrance exam for me.” Ji Mingxin did. She became the first person in Tianmu High School’s history to achieve it, and the first student rumored to be involved with Cen Qiongying, CEO of the Tianmu Education Group. ＊＊ No one can escape the gentle trap of the moon shining on them alone. Not even Ji Mingxin, born cold-blooded and heartless. On her twentieth birthday, she took advantage of the alcohol to kiss Cen Qiongying. The price was the other woman’s distance. “We’ll sleep separately tonight. Don’t cross the line.” Cen Qiongying stopped coming to warm her bed. The day Ji Mingxin could no longer bear the torment and broke down, demanding, “What will it take for you to love me?”, Cen Qiongying took her to a cemetery. At first glance, Ji Mingxin almost thought the person in the photograph on the tombstone was herself. But the stone bore a completely unfamiliar name: Mu Xiaoyu. Along with the parents, one other person was listed as having erected the tombstone: Wife, Cen Qiongying. Ji Mingxin finally understood. All the kindness she had received had been thanks to a dead woman. The good boss she’d worshipped like a god had treated her so cruelly. It wasn’t that her bad boss had no sincerity or love. She’d simply given it all to the wife in the grave. After that, Ji Mingxin cut off all contact with her. [Short extra] Ji Mingxin, a genius chemistry student at Jingping University, was exceptionally admitted to the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Organic Chemistry in her third year. After joining a fragrance synthesis research project, she rose to fame and was frequently seen with Feng Luohua, heiress to the Feng Group. A blogger revealed: The two spent a romantic night together at a charity gala. Wedding bells may be near. As dawn broke, Ji Mingxin returned home to change. Cen Qiongying, who had flown in overnight, blocked the doorway. “How long are you going to keep this up? Isn’t love what you want? I’ll give it to you.” “Love?” Ji Mingxin sounded calm and indifferent, as if she didn’t understand the word. “Doesn’t President Cen know I have everything I need now? I don’t need your love, just as Tianmu Education Group no longer needs an exam-taking tool.” Cen Qiongying shoved her inside and bit her almost frantically. “You don’t want it? Then we’ll do it until you do.” [Important details] Fourteen-year age gap, one-on-one, both characters’ first time. Amnesia and borrowing a corpse to return to life, with memories gradually coming back: pure Jinjiang metaphysics!

The chemistry details are all made up based on random things I found online, just to serve the plot! [Next book] A connected story in the same setting, another wife-chasing story: You Can’t Expect Me to Miss You Literary, free-spirited internet singer Xuan Ying, younger top x outwardly warm but cold-hearted wealthy heiress, older bottom In the year she was most innocent, Xuan Ying joked with her fans during a livestream that if anyone tried to exploit her for sex, she’d drag them down with her, or else she wouldn’t deserve to call herself human. But not long after, she ended up in bed with her top donor, willingly seducing her again and again. Once, when they stopped halfway through, she laughed and cursed herself. “I’m not human.” Feng Luohua kicked her, then pulled her back in. “What are you talking about? Hurry up.” In the year she was most in love, Xuan Ying was willing to stand for seven hours in the freezing snow wearing a bulky mascot costume just to catch another glimpse of Feng Luohua. She didn’t think it was hard, because the person she loved would repay her with warmth and passion on cold nights. ＊＊ To secure her place as the group’s heir, Feng Luohua could only choose one of two kinds of future partners: someone powerful, or someone exceptionally talented. A genius. Xuan Ying was neither, and to top it off, she was an entertainer the Feng family looked down on. To be precise, she was an internet celebrity who wasn’t even fit for the stage. No matter how careful she was, their secret affair still came to an end when she had to choose between her personal feelings and her career. She chose her career without hesitation. Because that career also included Xuan Ying’s. On the day they broke up, they were in love at the cinema one moment, then kissing goodbye beside a musical fountain the next. It was the first time Feng Luohua had let Xuan Ying kiss her in public, and it was the last. Xuan Ying bit through her lip. The salt of her tears mingled with the metallic taste of blood. Laughing and crying at the same time, she said, “Feng Luohua, starting tomorrow, don’t expect me to miss you.” Feng Luohua wiped away her tears with rare tenderness and answered, “All right.” ＊＊ Later. Feng Luohua really did find a genius. She spent a fortune setting up a research lab for the genius, dined with her at the most expensive, highest revolving restaurant in Jingping, built snowmen with her on the romantic streets of France, and took her to the family’s charity gala... doing everything she hadn’t gotten to do with Xuan Ying. [Short extra] After getting over her lovesick phase, Xuan Ying became wildly popular. In just a year, she signed with a company, appeared on a music variety show, released an album, and landed commercial deals. At last, she made a name for herself in the Chinese-language music scene as a singer. During a late-night livestream, a fan asked her: [Xuan, you’ve written so many moving original love songs. Have you really never been in love?] Xuan Ying answered without a second thought. “Haven’t I always been in love? Music is my one and only partner forever.” Just then, her long-absent top donor logged in. After sending one rocket, yacht, and carnival gift after another, she commented: [I miss you.] The comments section instantly descended into chaos. Xuan Ying remained calm, neither flustered nor surprised, and joked in the same soothing tone she used with her fans. “Miss, it doesn’t cost anything to miss me. Try to hold back a little.” The woman logged off. Then the private phone lying in Xuan Ying’s peripheral vision vibrated again and again. ＊＊ Theme: Love makes people strong, and it can also drive them mad.
