A Frail and Vicious Beta

A seemingly gentle yet greedy, ill-fated, femme-fatale-in-disguise gong × a former paragon of morality who later fights for what he wants, a haughty eldest son of the first wife, shou Yu Tang × Guan Jue Amid an internal conflict on the island, Guan Changhe, the head of the Guan family, dies unexpectedly. At the funeral, the eldest son born to his first wife and the two sons born to his second wife all arrive. Also in attendance is a young beta, announced half a month earlier as the future bride of the Guan family. Everyone watches the tall, long-legged, black-haired beta from the corner of their eye. His features are truly striking, and he weeps with such pitiful beauty that an enticing charm seems to cling to him, making him impossible to look away from. But what will become of this beautiful “stepmother,” who has no official status? Will the eldest son, who hates his father’s remarriage, drive him out of the Guan family, or will the second and third sons, who have repeatedly expressed their dislike, put him through a harsh ordeal? Unexpectedly, some time passes and Yu Tang is not only still there, but carefully looked after by the Guan family. His name is even openly given the Guan surname, and everyone must respectfully address him as “Miss Guan Yu.” The three Alpha young masters fight bitterly over the Guan family’s wealth and power, but none of them so much as lays a finger on Yu Tang. The cold, haughty eldest young master kneels before Yu Tang and examines the ankle he twisted when he lost his balance in high heels. The unruly second young master personally holds an umbrella for Yu Tang in the rain as he steps out of a car, lifting his hem with a smile on his face. The hypocritical, sinister third young master attacks anyone who insults Yu Tang at a banquet, and keeps pursuing them even after they apologize. Everyone in Pingzhou says Yu Tang is incredibly lucky to have won the favor of all three Guan heirs at once. But they don’t know that Yu Tang himself is the true owner of the Guan family’s vast inheritance. Note: 1. The gong and the shou’s father never got engaged, so there is no betrothal. 2. The gong wears women’s clothing throughout, and his identity is revealed fairly early. 3. All locations, characters, and events are fictional and set in an imaginary world.
