The Villain's Wife Novel

Lily Qin's life was shattered at twenty by her wicked stepmother, scheming stepsister, and an oblivious ex-fiancé, leading to national humiliation. She disappeared, only to resurface seven years later as the formidable "Miss Tycoon," an iron-willed, beautiful, and brilliant businesswoman controlling a multinational company abroad. While many expected revenge, Lily's true aim was profit, her heart hardened by past trauma. She encounters Zhuo Jingren, whom she labels a fellow villain deserving a happy ending. Unbeknownst to Lily, Zhuo Jingren harbored a lifelong devotion, promising to become richer than her to win her hand. His efforts led to success and fear, but upon his return, he found Lily engaged and seemingly forgetting him. Mistaking him for an escort and then a bodyguard after a playful encounter, Lily enlists him for her chaotic plans, leading the mafia boss to become her protector. Their interactions reveal a playful dynamic, with Lily prioritizing profit and Zhuo Jingren, despite her mercenary attitude, finding himself drawn to her shameless independence.
