Also known as Don't Want Lots of Love, Want Lots of Money
The female lead is cold by nature and won't fall for anyone. She'll have lots of men in this story, and may randomly pick one to be her official partner in the end. She'll climb to the top over the men in her life. She loves no one, is universally adored, and is genuinely vicious and purely self-interested. She has no limits when it comes to climbing higher!!! If that's not your thing, don't read or complain.
The story leans toward an outline-style, wish-fulfillment novel. It's rather over-the-top, and the writing is amateurish. Just read it for fun. This is the author's self-indulgent project, and everything in it is fictional.
Qian Tianchu comes from an ordinary family, but she has ambition. She wants a better life.
She has the means and the ability, so why should she be worse off than anyone else? She doesn't want to be ordinary. She wants to rise above everyone.
So she studied as hard as she could, hoping to go to a big city and find a path to the top.
Studying was just one way for her to climb higher.
As she wished, she met someone willing to help her.
That person happened to have everything she wanted: money and power, and he was more than willing to help her.
In exchange...
Qian Tianchu didn't care. As long as she could climb higher, she would do anything. Besides, the man was top-notch in every way, including his looks, and he didn't have any unusual fetishes.
She used his power and influence to climb higher, until...
"You're crossing the line." Qian Tianchu pushed away the man's approaching face, ignoring his adoring gaze.
"We're perfect for each other, aren't we?"
No, they weren't. He was wrong.
The man had the warmth of an older man and the arrogance of someone in power.
His biggest mistake was thinking he could control Qian Tianchu. He was far too presumptuous.
He had shown Qian Tianchu a different world and let her taste power, but never considered that he simply couldn't give her enough.
That was what she hated most. She thought she should find someone else, someone more powerful who could make her stronger.
The man was just a stepping stone for her, a springboard.
Love was something she disdained even more.
"Love? No, I don't need that. Can't you offer me something valuable instead?"
Qian Tianchu had drained many men dry, but she still didn't think it was enough.
Human greed is limitless. Power and money are far too addictive. Once you get a taste, you can't stop.
She pushed away one man after another, turning down their relentless declarations of love.
"I don't need lots of love. I need lots and lots and lots of money, and power."
