[Hot-tempered Spoiled Brat with Hidden Darkness x Gentle and Aloof Seductress with a Black Heart]

[Fake Bad x Truly Bad]

Jiang Ciqiu had lived a smooth, easy life for twenty-one years—until one day, she suddenly became self-aware and realized that the world she lived in was actually the setting of a domineering CEO romance novel.

In this world, her so-called ‘cheap’ older brother—the male lead—harbored deep hatred for their family and was secretly plotting to bring down the Jiang household.

Jiang Ciqiu wasn’t having it. She decided to stop the plot from unfolding.

But every time she tried to sabotage things, she would always run into the same person—her ‘cheap’ older brother’s white moonlight (his pure, untouchable first love).

Only, the so-called white moonlight wasn’t pure at all. She was actually very dark and manipulative… and had a way of making Miss Jiang blush like crazy.

Later, Jiang Ciqiu said, “Don’t go to him. Work with me instead.”

The dark moonlight smiled lazily and said, “Sure, I’ll come to you. Let’s… co-operate.”

In her past life, Qiao Sijin was a popular young actress, always at Fu Qingyun’s beck and call, fulfilling every unreasonable demand without complaint. That was until Fu Qingyun ended their contract, and Qiao Sijin, once an untouchable flower on a high mountain, fell back into the mud.

But given a second chance at life, Qiao Sijin was determined never to make the same mistake again!

Her first step? Cutting all ties with Fu Qingyun and taking the initiative to end their contract.

As Qiao Sijin’s life began to shine brighter—smooth sailing, dazzling, and radiant—chatting confidently on variety shows and revealing that her first love had died, Fu Qingyun began to realize something:

A world without Qiao Sijin seemed dull and lifeless.

It seemed… she regretted it.
