The Villain's Wife Novel

Lily Qin's life was shattered at twenty by her wicked stepmother, scheming stepsister, and a foolish ex-fiancé, leaving her the country's pariah. She vanished, only to re-emerge seven years later as the formidable Miss Tycoon, a celebrated businesswoman lauded as an empress and genius, controlling a multinational company abroad. While many expect vengeance, Lily, beautiful, intelligent, and successful, is driven solely by profit. She reveals to Zhuo Jingren, who sees them both as villains, that their shared status presents an opportunity for villains to achieve their own happy endings. Zhuo Jingren, who secretly loved Lily since childhood, dedicated himself to becoming richer than her, as she had promised. He worked his way up, only to return and find Lily engaged, mistaken him for an escort, and seemingly forgotten their past. After she took advantage of him and fled, Zhuo Jingren, now a powerful and feared figure, finds himself becoming Lily's bodyguard, readily driving her to "wreak havoc." He later teases her about her desire for money and hints at offering his body as compensation, to which Lily boldly responds that she'll take both money and his body, before he pulls her onto him, calling her a shameless woman.
