Ning Shu put down the nameplate and leaned back in the leather chair, closing her eyes and beginning to take in the original storyline.

  Well, it was a revengeful and desperate love story.

  The original host’s name was Shi Lina, she was the CEO of a public company and the sole heir of the Shi family. Since she was the only daughter, Shi Lina decided to find a son-in-law for the family.

  Shi Lina had pretty looks and her family conditions were good. Naturally, someone was willing to marry into her family. She chose a painter, who had the typical aura of artists—full of romance and freedom. Besides, he was also good-looking.

  The two married and had a daughter, Shi Sinan.

  The marriage didn’t last long, and the couple divorced when their daughter, Shi Sinan, turned five.

  The painter husband really couldn’t stand Shi Lina’s strong character. The woman didn’t have any gentleness and softness; all year round she was in an OL suit.

  As a grown man, he was being labeled as a trophy husband, his male pride couldn’t take it for long. So, in the end, he decisively divorced her to show that he wasn’t all about money. He then found a gentle and caring woman to spend his life with.

  After her divorce, Shi Lina didn’t remarry and was devoted to her company.

  The twist of events was that Shi Lina’s father brought back a man and also included his name on the Shi family’s register as Shi Lina’s younger brother.

  Shi Lina was full of suspicion and doubt about this ‘brother’ of hers. She couldn’t help but suspect that he was her father’s illegitimate son.

  And it was obvious to Shi Lina that this ‘brother’ harbored some sort of malice towards the Shi family.

  Xi Mucheng was handsome and gave off a bad vibe. He would have a smile that was evil and unbridled, simply too much for women to resist.

  Furthermore, it was like he didn’t really give a damn about anyone.

  The old man felt guilty towards Xi Mucheng, so he just opened one eye and closed the other. On top of that, he made Xi Mucheng the vice-president of the company.

  There was no transition, he went straight to VP.

  Although Shi Lina was wary of Xi Mucheng, her daughter, Shi Sinan, felt rather curious about this suddenly appearing uncle, who was also very young.

  Xi Mucheng smiled meaningfully, teasing Sinan, like a big bad wolf looking at a little white rabbit. He maliciously sized her up, making Shi Sinan blush.

  Shi Lina repeatedly warned her daughter not to go near Xi Mucheng, but Shi Sinan paid her no heed. In her eyes, her uncle was a very nice person.

  Shi Lina was so angry that she forcefully prevented Shi Sinan from getting close to Xi Mucheng. In turn, it made the relationship between mother and daughter tense.

  Every time she saw Xi Mucheng’s evil smile, a wave of uneasiness would rise in Shi Lina’s heart.

  On Shi Sinan’s eighteenth birthday, Xi Mucheng gave Shi Sinan a birthday present—he did that to her.

  After the indescribable thing happened, Shi Sinan was completely dumbfounded. They were related by blood, after all.

  Shi Sinan was terrified that her grandpa and mom would find out. She also faced harassment from Xi Mucheng, who held onto this information, making Shi Sinan afraid to disobey him.

  Xi Mucheng was the kind that the moment he treated a woman nicely, women absolutely couldn’t resist. Shi Sinan was provoked by him so much that her emotions would always go wild.

  Sometimes, he was gentle; other times, he would turn his back on her, as if he had split personalities. While Shi Sinan indulged in this heart-fluttering feeling, she also tried to convince herself that he was her uncle.

  Xi Mucheng had come here with hatred, and Shi Sinan’s rape was just his revenge against the Shi family. Nevertheless, he also had some feelings for Shi Sinan, feeling all kinds of entanglements. He treated Shi Sinan in a hot-and-cold manner. At the same time, he had a domineering attitude, forbidding her from going near other boys in school.

  After sleeping with her at the birthday party, Xi Mucheng considered Shi Sinan as his woman and wanted absolute control over her.

  Afterward, Xi Mucheng schemed to have Shi Lina end up in a car accident. Later, he also killed the Shi family’s old man, so the whole family fell into his hands.

  With all the family members dead, Shi Sinan had no one to rely on other than this uncle. But Xi Mucheng had complicated feelings towards this person who had the bloodline of the Shi family.

  Xi Mucheng: Woman, what should I do with you?
