Transmigrated as the Vicious Female Lead: I Seduce the CEO to Rewrite My Fate

Lin Xiaoman stayed up all night finishing a tragic novel, only to wake up as the vicious female lead with the worst ending— the original character was sent to prison by CEO Shen Yan for targeting the female protagonist repeatedly. To rewrite her doomed fate, she decides to turn the tables: seduce Shen Yan主动! She creates an “accidental” elevator encounter, pretends to twist her ankle and falls into his arms, and even hands him her household register directly: “Mr. Shen, marry me!” But she doesn’t notice that Shen Yan’s gaze on her has long changed— the original her would never bring him warm ginger tea when he works overtime, never stand in front of him to block the press, let alone say with bright eyes, “Shen Yan, you look so good when you smile.” When “schemes” gradually turn into sincerity, and “rewriting fate” quietly becomes “loving you”, Lin Xiaoman finally understands: what she’s looking for isn’t a “escape from fate”, but the light hidden in Shen Yan’s heart— the light that belongs only to her.
