[Reborn Poisonous Spider Beauty x Devoted Esports Captain | Strong Heroine's Revenge x Rivalry Showdown]

Yan Li's previous life ended in spectacular fashion.

Ensnared by love and kept like a pet by power, she was ultimately blown to pieces like a blood-red firework offered up to a madman.

When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the turning point of her fate.

This time, the desperate caged bird shattered her golden cage and became a poisonous spider, spinning her own web.

-In her previous life, they were beasts fighting over the prize, tearing her apart and devouring her:

Business tycoon Lu Wei gripped her chin. "Come with me. I'll give you everything, including freedom... as long as you stay in the palm of my hand."

The refined young heir Yun Yixiu looked down at her. "Lili, don't struggle. You were born to be pampered."

Hacker king Louis caressed her image through the screen. "Good girl. Come back to the perfect cage your mentor built for you."

Mad dog Yu Qing grinned as he lit the fuse. "If I can't have you, then we'll all go down together."

-In this life, she is the hunter moving the pieces, calmly plotting and advancing step by step:

Her pure, fragile image can be a disguise. The cage meant to imprison her can be turned into a blade in her hand. Even the biting mad dog can be trained into a loyal hound.

Roses may be beautiful, but their thorns can really hurt.

Reborn from hatred, the bloodstained rose has become even more captivating. Only now do the powerful men who once looked down on her lower themselves and beg for a little of her affection.

Bonus scene:

When the media photographed esports rising star Ling Chen wearing a plain ring on his ring finger, matching Yan Li's...

Lu Wei: I own the richest business empire in all of Asia, and you're telling me you picked that kid?

Yun Yixiu: As the heir to the Yun family, how am I worse than that guy?

Yu Qing: I was the one who went through life and death with you. Why won't you choose me... If you have to, I'll be the side piece and he'll be the main one!

Yan Li: ...

Ling Chen: Because I'm the most obedient.

The big shots: ???
