The new book, After My Agreement with the Male Lead Expired, is now available. Please add it to your favorites ♡

Every day on her way to work, Su Lingyi silently psyched herself up:

"I'll quit once I get my year-end bonus!"

As the assistant to Lu Yunyan, the eldest young master of Kyoto's top wealthy family, she had long mastered the working stiff's skill of "being respectful to his face and cursing him behind his back."

Until one day, the bastard woke her in the middle of the night and ordered her to pick him up at a restaurant. An accident happened, and the two of them were transported into a melodramatic angst novel.

She became the heroine who was abused in body and spirit, while Lu Yunyan was the scumbag male lead: a man with a white-moonlight love in his heart, who left the heroine battered and then unleashed his possessiveness, coercing her into a relationship!

System: "Follow the plot strictly, or you'll never be able to return. You will also be punished."

So...

Lu Yunyan coldly tossed a black card at her. "Cut out your push-pull act. You just want money, don't you? Take it and get lost."

Su Lingyi's eyes reddened. "I've never wanted money. I want you! In all these years, have you ever loved me, even for a moment?"

The original plot included, but was not limited to:

1. At a banquet, the male lead's stepmother humiliates the heroine, who is made to drink tainted liquor.

2. After learning that his white-moonlight love is pregnant, the heroine is devastated and gets into a car accident.

3. The evil female rival frames her, forcing the heroine to donate blood.

4. The heroine is kidnapped by the male lead's enemy and starved for three days and nights.

5. She jumps into the sea to kill herself.

Su Lingyi roared, "I'm not doing this! Could the plot get any more ridiculous? The heroine's body is way too tough. How is she not dead yet after all that?!"

Lu Yunyan thought she was unprofessional. "You're just following the plot. You'll get ten times your bonus when we get back."

Su Lingyi: "You heartless monster! Men really are all scum!"

Later,

After finally returning to the real world, Lu Yunyan tore up her resignation letter and slapped the pieces onto the desk. "Your year-end bonus is ten times higher. You're not allowed to leave."

Su Lingyi: "???"

Lu Yunyan: "Everything I own is yours. This is a property transfer agreement, though I kept some money aside to buy the wedding home you like."

One-on-one, happy ending, both leads are each other's first, transmigration

New book: After My Agreement with the Male Lead Expired

[Launching during the National Day holiday. Please add it to your favorites!!!]

[Clearheaded beauty x stubborn, tsundere man] [Both leads are each other's first, happy ending]

Su Yu transmigrates into a CEO romance novel as a passerby whose name is never even mentioned in the original.

Before the plot begins, a twist of fate brings her into a three-month "arrangement" with the male lead.

To secure a stable place for herself, Su Yu takes the money and honors the agreement. Clearheaded and careful to follow the rules, she quietly plans for her future, not daring to entertain a single unnecessary thought.

When their agreement ends, she quickly packs her bags and leaves without looking back.

Despite being so conscientious and well-behaved, she can't understand one thing.

She has been perfectly sensible and careful to keep her distance, so why does Pei Tingxu look at her with more anger and menace every day?

*

At first, Pei Tingxu thought of Su Yu as nothing more than an unexpected diversion from his dull life.

He set clear boundaries in advance and warned her not to expect too much.

But he never imagined she would be even more afraid of getting entangled with him than he was. She left without a trace, and when they met again, she deliberately avoided him, refusing to give him so much as a glance.

Pei Tingxu seemed perfectly composed on the surface, but an inexplicable restlessness spread through his heart.

Until, at a lavish banquet, he stood alone in a corner and unexpectedly came face-to-face with a completely different Su Yu.

She had shed the timid disguise she'd worn before. Her bright, confident features shone as she stood surrounded by people at the center of it all.

In that moment, the chaotic feelings Pei Tingxu had deliberately suppressed finally broke through the surface.

"She's just a woman."

Pei Tingxu looked away. His knuckles turned white as he clenched them, then slowly relaxed, forcing himself to breathe steadily.

He turned and left as if he didn't care, his pace calm and unhurried. He didn't look in her direction again.

The banquet ended, and the night grew late.

In a good mood, Su Yu had just stepped out of the banquet hall when she ran into the man who'd left early.

She stopped, instinctively taking half a step back. "President Pei, is something wrong?"

The man, usually so dignified and self-possessed, had now lost all his composure. He blocked her way, his voice desperate yet stubbornly fierce.

"Why are you avoiding me?"

"Am I not good enough for you?"
