Also known as: What? I'm the Woman Behind the Male Lead of a Web Novel?

[Obsessive man with a secret, devoted crush x bright, sunny girl]

The company was in the middle of a transition, her father had suddenly become critically ill, and there was no one to take over the huge family business. Faced with ravenous wolves on all sides, Su Yuling gritted her teeth and found herself a live-in son-in-law.

An orphan with no father or mother: no mother-in-law problems.

Good-looking and a regular at the gym: top-tier looks and physique.

A self-made man with an iron fist: capable of making the company thrive.

She nodded, satisfied.

After they married, her bargain husband proved reliable, ambitious, and good at figuring out what she liked. Every now and then, he added a little play to keep things fresh, leaving her completely smitten.

When she saw that the year-end bonus had an extra zero compared to previous years, she shamefully found herself falling for him.

Then she suddenly discovered that she was living in the world of a male-centric power fantasy, and that she was the woman behind its male lead.

Su Yuling: ?

Lu Ben was the male lead. He rose to great heights, and after their marriage, he used her family's business to expand his own power, eventually becoming the richest man in the country.

Sounds pretty good, right?

It would be even better if he hadn't swallowed up her entire company. Su Yuling ground her teeth, hating that she'd been the foolish farmer in The Farmer and the Snake, unable to recognize the snake for what it was.

Bound by their prenuptial agreement, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and play along with him while quickly establishing her position in the company. She also joined forces with her childhood sweetheart to figure out how to make Lu Ben walk away with nothing.

But on the rainy night when they were secretly discussing their plans, Lu Ben showed up uninvited.

"Lu Ben? How did you know I was here?" Su Yuling opened the door and saw Lu Ben, drenched and looking utterly wretched.

She stood disheveled behind her childhood sweetheart, the air thick with an intimate atmosphere.

A clap of thunder sounded in the darkness.

His voice rang out, sounding like a death sentence: "Congratulations. Why didn't you tell your legal husband that my wife has a boyfriend?"

Su Yuling: ...Well, it's a long story, and there's no way to make it short.

As she remained silent, his patience gradually ran out.

He smiled, as gentle and harmless as ever, and coaxed her into returning to the carefully prepared cage he had made for her.

No phone, no computer, no internet. Just him and her, entwined in passion until they had explored every corner.

She could only eat food he cooked with his own hands, wear clothes he had washed himself, and enjoy only the pleasure he gave her. He even "forced" her to sign a consent form gifting him her shares.

After each time her eyes glazed over, Su Yuling asked herself the same question: Did I really pick up the wrong script? How did the male lead of a power fantasy end up handing his career over to someone else...?

[The heroine's family business doesn't go bankrupt. She rises to power by stepping on the male lead. No children in the main story.]

The story is told from the heroine's perspective, with marriage before love. From the hero's perspective, it's a secret crush come true. They're both a little crazy.

1. All the men involved with the heroine are virgins, both physically and emotionally.

2. Everyone is strongly attracted to the heroine, with a slight everyone-loves-her vibe. Both the hero and the other male characters are one-sidedly in love.

3. The heroine is wealthy throughout, and the company is her property.

One-on-one romance, both leads are virgins.

Blurb:

The moment she was hit by a car, Jiang Ying, who had spent her whole life burdened by her romance-obsessed mother and her scheming father, felt relieved: She was finally free.

When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the 1990s, to the year she was three.

"Jiang Ying, little sister," said a handsome little boy, holding her hand and speaking in a babyish voice. "We'll protect you from now on."

The group of pampered young masters surrounding Jiang Ying all nodded in silence.

Jiang Ying, who was dragged by her left and right feet in sync and then toppled over: ...Well said.

Could you let go of my hands first?

*

In this world, Jiang Ying's maternal grandparents forcefully brought her to live in the compound.

The good news: She escaped her awful parents.

The better news: The children in the compound will all become important figures in the future.

The bad news: She's the only girl in the compound :)

When they were little, they took turns fighting over who got to play her husband in house, and later on...

The only son of a renowned research institute director, famous for his restraint and abstinence, carefully took her hand and gently coaxed her. "I'll wait for you at school, okay?"

Clatter.

Someone's cup shattered on the dining table.

Her childhood sweetheart and ex-boyfriend gave a faintly mocking smile and casually loosened his shirt collar, revealing several pale pink marks beneath his shoulder blade. "...Sorry, I lost my grip."

His eyes lingered on her, his gaze clinging to her like something tangible.

She had barely stepped into the hallway for a breath of air when the future venture capital tycoon quietly wrapped himself around her and sniffed at her neck. "What, have you fallen for him?"

"That won't do," he said, his lips tightening and his gaze turning sinister, though his voice remained as gentle as ever. "Yingying, you promised me, didn't you..."

After finally dealing with the difficult men, Jiang Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

But the moment she returned to her bedroom, her stepbrother's voice drifted from the darkness. "They're no different from me..."

"Are they?"

In his hand, he was stroking the floral dress Jiang Ying had worn yesterday.

Jiang Ying felt her scalp go numb.

Help! I just wanted to latch onto one powerful person... not four...

Tips:

1. All the male characters are virgins, in every sense.

2. The romance is one-on-one at each stage.

[Drafting has begun. Planned launch: November or December 2025.]

Content warnings:

1. This is not a story about a strong, independent heroine! She's a sweet girl, a sweet girl, a sweet girl, a sweet girl! The author just loves writing sweet girls!

2. The hero is mildly coercive. This is a doting-everyone-loves-her story.

3. Shameless Mary Sue fantasy, and the heroine decides who the hero is. Please don't judge her. She just wants to give each big shot a home.

Premise: The biggest lie is that women can only be independent if they rely on no one
