The Scheming Darling Is a Black Lotus

[Scheming Black Lotus Female Lead x Aloof Male Lead Who Turns Dark for Love, Both First-Timers, One-on-One Romance, Happy Ending]

Five years turned Wen Ning, once the high-and-mighty eldest daughter of the Wen family, into a half-mad second daughter brought home from a psychiatric hospital.

Yet the culprits behind it all, her stepmother and stepsister, were still coveting what she had and closing in at every turn, determined to squeeze every last bit of value out of her.

Wen Ning smiled faintly. Well, let's see who has the last laugh.

She swore that she would take everything those mother and daughter cherished, whatever the cost, and keep it in her grasp.

That included the Fu Corporation's CEO, Fu Cen Jing, whom her older sister adored.

Thunder rumbled through the rainy night. Fu Cen Jing was reading in his study when he opened the door and a trembling, delicate figure slipped into his arms.

Wen Ning lifted her eyes, her glistening, alluring gaze seared into his mind. "I'm scared..."

The cool, noble Fu Cen Jing fell under her spell, willingly offering her everything.

Only when the truth came to light did Fu Cen Jing learn that he had been nothing but a tool in Wen Ning's revenge from beginning to end.

His eyes reddened as he abandoned all composure and held her captive at his side. "You think you can leave after using me? Dream on!"

P.S.:

The female lead is genuinely scheming and a little unhinged. The male lead falls first.

The second male lead chases after his wife, but it's too late. His ashes have already been scattered.
