Chi Ming Tang x Chen Ye
Heiress x foster son
"Warning! Test subject CP-108 is breaching the firewall..."
Chi Ming Tang died at the hands of Chen Ye, the person she looked down on most. As the flames consumed her, she finally saw the truth: this seemingly docile "adopted son of the Chi family" was actually a wolf that had lain in wait for years.
She thought she had simply experienced the sort of clichéd rich-family rebirth story everyone had seen before. Reborn, she would repay the debt she owed the male lead, Chen Ye, from her past life, avoid being killed, and peacefully be her spoiled, willful heiress self, keeping out of Chen Ye's way.
Looking at her arrogant self in the mirror, she decided to put on a grand act: she shared a sweet soup to help Chen Ye sleep, but he merely raised his eyes and said, "Trying to poison me?"
She stood up for him against a rich heiress, and he chuckled. "A new trick?"
She even played matchmaker, pairing him with the "destined woman" who had been his true love in her previous life. His expression darkened. "Trying to push me away?"
Then, on the eve of the fated car accident, Chi Ming Tang packed all her things and prepared to run.
Chen Ye suddenly pinned her against the wall, and an unfamiliar warmth surged toward her. "Chi Ming Tang, this is your last chance. Promise me we'll both survive, okay?"
She was ice-cold from head to toe, but then the System suddenly alerted her: [Corruption level increased by 10%]
#He's seeing through your act
#Looks like you got the rebirth script backwards
#The revenge power fantasy has become a redemption story
Where Chi Ming Tang couldn't see, Chen Ye kept her under constant surveillance. She could never have imagined that the rebirth she experienced this time was actually a cage carefully designed by Chen Ye.
This chief scientist at NeuroTech, in the virtual world: made her "corruption level system" a [emotional inhibitor]; made the car accident happen 36 times over just to collect despair data; even her sudden acts of kindness were preset behavioral variables.
Until she discovered that the one flaw in the program was the heartbeat he couldn't suppress whenever he came near her.
"If I could start the story over, I'd choose to love you."
