Chapter 1

I had transmigrated into an abuse-romance novel as its tragic heroine.

In the original story, three men tried to possess her by force. She fought them to the bitter end, but the male-worshipping author had given all three of them power, wealth, and status.

She fled. They pursued. There was nowhere in the world she could hide.

In the end, she failed to escape. Her mind broke, and she killed herself.

But me? I was hopelessly obsessed with romance!

A psychotic stepbrother? Forbidden love—sign me up!

A vicious-tongued school heartthrob? I wanted my share of a sweet campus romance!

A calculating teacher? An age-gap taboo? Yes, please!

Why would I run when so many gorgeous men loved me?

Wasn’t it better for the four of us to build a happy life together?

“Pei Youyou, your mom is a filthy bitch, and you’re her filthy little copy! You’re every bit as cheap as she is!”

It happened on the day my mother married Si Bonian’s father.

In front of everyone, Si Bonian held my hand and played the gentle older brother, promising to look after me as if I were his own little sister.

The moment no one was watching, he shoved me to the floor and viciously insulted both my mother and me.

The original heroine had swallowed every humiliation for the sake of her mother’s happiness.

I wasn’t swallowing a damn thing.

I climbed to my feet, slammed Si Bonian against the wall, tipped up his chin, and breathed against his face.

“Oh? Dropping the act already?”

“Weren’t you just playing the perfect big brother, promising to protect me and treat me like your own sister?”

“Two-faced little punk.”

Si Bonian sprang away as if something filthy had touched him.

“Pei Youyou, what the hell are you doing?”

I curled my lips into a wicked smile.

Leaning close to his ear, I lowered my voice into a seductive murmur. “Didn’t you say my mother and I were both sluts who liked seducing men?”

“Can’t you tell? I’m seducing you.”

Si Bonian froze. His eyes filled with shock.

I seized the chance to pinch his cheek. “Look at you. So happy you’ve gone stupid, huh?”

“Your wish finally came true.”

He tried to flee. “Pei Youyou, have you lost your mind?”

“If you’re desperate for a man, go find one somewhere else. Don’t touch me with your filthy hands!”

“You make me sick!”

What a dishonest man!

In the original novel, he had clearly loved the heroine to death.

When he found out she intended to escape, he imprisoned her in the basement and ravished her day and night, hoping to get her pregnant so she could never leave him.

This cold act had to be a game of push and pull meant to attract my attention!

I pinned him to the wall and, under his horrified stare, attacked his lips with my tongue.

I kissed him until he was breathless, panting, weak in the knees, and misty-eyed.

Holding his chin, I looked down at him.

“Liar. If you really hated me that much, why didn’t you push me away?”

“What a contrary little minx you are.”

Si Bonian screamed, on the verge of collapse. “It wasn’t that I didn’t want to push you away! I couldn’t!”

I nearly died laughing. “Stop making excuses. One look at you, and anyone can see you loved it!”
