The Scheming White Lotus Lures Me In

Jiang Yuan prides herself on being the most womanly of women, the fiercest of female eagles, and the ace fighter among straight women.

After seeing how worthless her niece seemed once she got a wife, straight woman Jiang Yuan vowed to be a career-focused woman, the leading lady of her own life, and an absolutely! super! powerful! woman! who would never let love control her!

But then someone overtook her on the bend, and the unexpected happened.

Chi Yiyuan, a new performer hired by her company, boldly knocked on her door after a party one night.

Chi Yiyuan respectfully offered her a business card with both hands, then said in a tone that sounded like, "Is this opportunity still available?" "President Jiang, I want to be your lover."

Wait, why have workplace sexual favors become as commonplace as buying vegetables at the market?

Jiang Yuan was a woman of principle. Standing there and showing off her bling-bling, extra-sparkly manicure, she said, "Sorry, I'm straight."

She thought she had preserved her clear-headed, rational, leading-lady image, untouched by worldly romance.

But who could have guessed that Chi Yiyuan would launch right in, clinging to the doorframe and crying so pitifully she could barely hold herself together? "I've liked you since I entered this industry."

"Just give me one chance, and I'll put these feelings behind me. Will you?"

Out of sympathy, Jiang Yuan let her into her room.

Jiang Yuan slept platonically beside Chi Yiyuan all night. She even played a revolutionary song on repeat, hoping to reform Chi Yiyuan, a stubborn lesbian.

She thought that after a night's sleep, the matter would be over.

But Chi Yiyuan spread the story around, claiming that they had slept together that night and that Jiang Yuan refused to take responsibility. She put Jiang Yuan on the moral high ground, trapped by public pressure.

As soon as word got out, the media came sniffing around for an interview. In it, Chi Yiyuan looked at the camera with red, tear-filled eyes and said, "I was the one who fell for her unilaterally. You can't blame President Jiang."

After reading the report, Jiang Yuan angrily went to confront Chi Yiyuan.

But Chi Yiyuan locked the door. Her pitiful, tear-streaked expression vanished, replaced by a beguiling smile. "Big sister, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"I've been waiting for this day ever since I was eighteen."
