That Scummy Alpha Is at It Again

The blurb for my upcoming novel, The Woman I Can't Win Over, is at the very bottom. Please add it to your collection! *cutesy pleading* QAQ

Blurb:

Ming Xi opened her eyes and discovered she had become the scummy A from a novel who shared her name.

In the book, the heroine, Xia Jinzhao, was abused and beaten by her original self after they married, forced to endure it in silence.

After meeting her benefactor, Song Yu, she rose to fame in the entertainment industry. Once she had achieved success, the first thing she did was send the original Ming Xi to prison.

As Ming Xi watched Xia Jinzhao struggle to resist, she could already see the end of her own life.

To secure a happy ending, Ming Xi decided to love and respect Xia Jinzhao, and leap in to protect her at the crucial moment!

And yet...

When Xia Jinzhao was rehearsing a scene with someone else, Ming Xi charged into the room and shielded her.

The next day, a trending topic blazed across the internet:

#Shocking! Actor Caught Meeting Lover Late at Night, Only to Be Caught Cheating by Their Spouse!#

When Song Yu came to visit, Ming Xi thoughtfully arranged a candlelit dinner to bring the two together.

Then she burned the tablecloth and the entire restaurant to the ground.

When Xia Jinzhao went into heat, Ming Xi tried to give her an inhibitor, only to see her reaction grow even more intense.

Ming Xi: Damn it! Why is this an aphrodisiac?!

Ignoring the hands reaching for her in desperate hunger, Ming Xi cinched her belt tight and ran for it.

Xia Jinzhao: ...

Ming Xi: TvT

After causing one disaster after another, Ming Xi realized the plot had already fallen apart beyond repair.

*

Until the day she and Song Yu were kidnapped at the same time, and the kidnappers threatened them with a knife.

"Your wife or your lover? Pick one."

Ming Xi's eyes welled up with tears. "Jinzhao, I'm so scared..."

The woman froze, then turned her face away and looked at Song Yu.

"Let Song Yu go."

Ming Xi got the answer she expected. So she threw herself neck-first onto the kidnapper's blade.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught Xia Jinzhao's stunned expression, then the look of someone on the verge of losing her mind.

Much later, people in the industry learned that Xia Jinzhao once had a wife, the unforgettable moonlight in her heart.

Meanwhile,

Ming Xi bought a ticket and fled overseas. As soon as she got off the plane, she burst into the evil laughter of a villain.

When it comes to being clever, nobody beats me!

Blurb for The Woman I Can't Win Over:

Also known as The Art of Speed Seduction

[School Belle x Down-and-Out Heiress x Employer]

Her mother was gravely ill in bed, and her father jumped to his death. Overnight, Xia Jinxing went from a cherished heiress to owing tens of millions.

Then one day, a woman suddenly appeared, breaking into her quiet, hopeless life.

Xia Jinxing knew her: Zhuang Lan, the young head of Huayuan and a tech magnate featured in one business magazine after another.

The woman sat across from her in the shop, her features half-lit and half-shadowed, her gaze detached and indifferent.

She said she could help Xia Jinxing out of her immediate predicament.

Staring at the astronomical figure on the check, Xia Jinxing was swayed by the money and spoke up.

"What do you need me to do?"

Zhuang Lan tossed a stack of photographs onto the table.

In them, a girl had clear, pure features and a gentle bearing, like an uncut jade stone.

"I want you to make her fall in love with you within six months."

Xia Jinxing accepted Zhuang Lan's offer.

On her first day after transferring schools, she saw the girl from the photographs.

Shi Ruoyun seemed to embody everyone's fantasies about falling in love.

She was approachable, talented, and wealthy, the darling of her elite academy.

Even though Xia Jinxing had approached her with ulterior motives, she had to admit she was falling for her.

From then on, she launched a fierce pursuit.

She took up the violin again, crammed on the books and movies Shi Ruoyun liked, and engineered chance encounters at the library seat where she always studied.

She also ran laps around the track with Shi Ruoyun, wore a school jacket scented with her unique fragrance, and hid with her in the cramped equipment room, fingers interlaced.

The plan hit one snag after another, but still unfolded as expected.

When Shi Ruoyun rejected an arranged marriage for her at a banquet and publicly came out, Xia Jinxing knew: the fish had taken the bait.

She took the huge transfer she'd received and vanished without a trace.

Scene:

Rain began to fall from the sky, a few lonely drops drifting through the car window.

The woman sat in the back seat with a slender cigarette between her lips, its crimson ember reflected in her eyes. She glanced sideways at the two people silently facing each other in the distance.

Five years later, they met again.

Shi Ruoyun held a black umbrella, the corners of her eyes red, her lashes glistening with droplets that looked like rain and tears.

Through the curtain of rain, she stared at the girl opposite her in stunned disbelief.

"Jinxing..."

Xia Jinxing's breathing quickened, but she stood perfectly still.

Zhuang Lan watched silently from inside the car as Xia Jinxing ran into her old flame. Only when the cigarette ash burned her fingers did she snap out of it.

This was utterly boring.

She stubbed out her cigarette, then reached a hand out the window. Her voice was hoarse, her command impossible to refuse.

"Xia Jinxing."

"Come here."

Note: The art of speed seduction, also known as pickup artistry, is a form of manipulation in romantic relationships. Its full name is Pick-up Artist, abbreviated as PUA.

Reader's Guide:

1. This is not a love-triangle story. The school belle is the CP, and the employer is the rejected one. Yes, you read that right! The school belle storyline is a battle of equals in love, while the employer storyline is an intense possessive romance.

2. The underage characters will not cross the line. One-on-one, happy ending.

3. An ordinary setting, old tropes, and a full gathering of melodramatic Mary Sues, romantic rivals, and exes seeking redemption.

4. The characters' values do not represent the author's. Written like a wicked stepmother, everyone is bad, and there are lots of twists. Be careful if you're sensitive!

5. Psychological concepts mentioned in the story will be researched as carefully as possible.

Theme: Those who understand the times are wise
