But Xiao Cheng carelessly remarks: "What's so impressive about her?"

"When she does business, she has no tactics other than fawning. Every time she fights, she's the one who gets beaten. Even though she got into Bluestone No. 1 Middle School, she's still the last in her class."

Xu Wenqiang impatiently retorts: "Xiao Cheng, stay away from me, don't meddle!"

Xiao Cheng calmly replies: "Sorry, I'm already addicted to meddling."

She thought her life would henceforth lead to a broad and smooth road, but she didn't know that fate was already predetermined.

To save face, she feigns helping the young woman achieve her revenge plan, hoping to gain her assistance, but she actually plans to run away after her friend leaves.

However, her friend didn't come for a vacation. The young woman's revenge is tied to a murder case. As the two press closer to the truth, and a certain strange man constantly appears nearby, Zhuang Xiaodie finds herself increasingly out of control.

This isn't a simple

After a nightmare, Nan Tao mistakenly believes she is a cannon fodder female supporting character in a novel, destined for a tragic end.

While feeling distressed, she suddenly hears her son's inner voice – her son has actually bound a 'Melon-Eating System'?

Nan Tao's eyes light up. In the entertainment industry, she overhears a documentary director catching his girlfriend cheating with his uncle, a movie queen discovering her son is her husband's and sister's, and a top male star caught by his CP partner secretly married to his manager...

In the upper-class wealthy families, a CEO's daughter catches her girlfriend with her father at her birthday banquet. A Cinderella-type girlfriend returns for revenge, exposing a seemingly loving wealthy couple for double infidelity, and a fake young lady gets pregnant and becomes the true young lady's stepmother but fails to get ahead...

The more melons she eats, Nan Tao discovers that this world is actually a collection of dramatic, cliché novels.

Her elder brother is a domineering CEO in a sweet romance novel, but he's a deeply devoted male supporting character who selflessly gives everything for the innocent female lead. In the end, she steals commercial secrets, leading to his group's bankruptcy, yet he remains deeply devoted.

Her sister-in-law is a pitiable tool in a 'chasing wife crematorium' Danmei novel. Her childhood sweetheart husband is the male lead gong, and in order to beg the shou to change his mind, he turns around and scatters her ashes.

Her mother-in-law is a cannon fodder female supporting character in a 'green tea stepmother' novel, poisoned to death by her best friend with chronic medication, innocently becoming her father-in-law's confidante. She fakes a one-night stand to pretend to be pregnant and then miscarries after trying to marry up.

Just as Nan Tao is engrossed in eating melons, the powerful figures quietly join forces to spoil her rotten!

Her big brother gives her a black card with a limitless spending limit, her sister-in-law constantly showers her with expensive jewelry like a rich patron, and her mother-in-law transfers a large amount of group equity to her...

As Nan Tao frequently appears on hot searches, the entire internet recognizes her as a 'Melon God' like existence.

One day, Nan Tao is photographed passionately kissing a handsome young business genius on the street. The entire internet excitedly gets to eat a 'melon' about Nan Tao herself, spreading the news far and wide.

"Woman, quick, tell me what your relationship is?!" "Screaming! This is the genius business tycoon Yu Zhengyang!!"

That night, the official Weibo of the Global Top 500 Yu Group posts: "My wife." Attached is a photo of their marriage certificate.

Netizens: "This dog food..."

Reading Guide: 1. The writing style is sweet and refreshing, not a strong female lead story. 2. The content of the 'melons' has no real-life prototypes; please do not associate it with reality. 3. The comment section does not accept real-life personal attacks.

Qiao Ruoying, with her supple waist and charming bones, and skin like congealed cream, was an administrative assistant at the bottom rung of Taiheng. Jiang Zongye, the president of Taiheng Group, was young, accomplished, and held immense power. He reprimanded his subordinates without mercy and was known by all as an "arrogant capitalist."

She never thought she would have any connection with an "elite" like Jiang Zongye. That is, until a business trip where she entered the wrong room and mistakenly took President Jiang for her idol. She hooked her arms around his neck and called him "Gege" all night.

The next morning, Jiang Zongye gazed at the young woman before him, startled like a deer. Her cheeks were flushed like a blooming crabapple, her eyes slightly drowsy, radiating an alluring innocence even she wasn't aware of, as she pleaded with him not to fire her.

Thus, a contract solidified their relationship.

This relationship was maintained with ease. Jiang Zongye was a prodigy and a workaholic rolled into one, a born leader with abundant energy and effortless skill. He was also a master negotiator, at times sincere, yet at other times as cunning and manipulative as an old fox, often offering her pointers on workplace dynamics.

Only Qiao Ruoying knew that the man who appeared ascetic and untouchable as a god in public was secretly quite reserved. In moments of passion, he would grip her waist, forcing her to call him "Gege" repeatedly. He loved it most when she called him "Gege" in her soft voice.

But on that first night, the "Gege" she had called was clearly her idol. This was something she absolutely could not let Jiang Zongye discover, or her job would be gone.

However, why was the big boss giving her more and more? First-class plane tickets, Hermès bags, Sotheby's diamonds, a grand villa... Wait, he even wanted to propose marriage?

One year later, media reported that Mrs. Jiang, Qiao Ruoying, was on her way to a concert in a Maybach when she was stopped by President Jiang himself. The man, who always showed little emotion, pressed his arm against the car door, trapping the woman in his embrace. He gripped her neck and deeply kissed her, his beautiful peach blossom eyes overflowing with crimson, as he hoarsely demanded:

"Yingying, the 'Gege' you called that night, was it him?"

Qiao Ruoying's eyes filled with helplessness as Jiang Zongye lifted her by the waist and carried her into the car. The man's bulging veins stood out as his large hand landed on her slender, soft waist, gripping it tightly. Inside the car, Qiao Ruoying cried, "Gege, I know I was wrong, you are my only good Gege..."

The man kissed her lips until they were crimson and swollen, his eyes brimming with jealousy: "Yingying, promise me, you only have me as your Gege. Could he be as capable as I am?"

The female lead appears calm but is a吐槽役 (internal monologuer/sarcastic), the male lead loves to overthink, and both have a strong physiological attraction to each other, burning hotly, a perfect match. The male lead is very possessive, full of tricks. He often "teases" and manipulates the female lead. The longer he is with her, the more he wants to kiss and embrace her.

When the notorious adopted daughter of the Shen family returned to Hong Kong, the city's elite society descended into chaos.

At the age of twelve, Lin Ran and her mother came to live as dependents in Shen Garden, home to the century-old prestigious Shen family in Hong Kong.

The eldest son of the Shen family was reserved and aloof, while the second son was charming and passionate. The two were constantly at odds.

By day, her second brother would pinch her cheek and call her cute. By night, her eldest brother would press her against the wall and kiss her recklessly. Her life was like walking on thin ice.

A fabricated scandal led to Lin Ran and her second brother being expelled from the Shen family by the eldest brother. She gave birth to a stillborn child and left her homeland.

Seven years later, an anonymous call informed her that her child was not dead. Lin Ran was forced to return to Shen Garden.

Shen Jinghan, the child's biological father and heir to Shen Garden, relentlessly cornered her, his voice low and hoarse: "What are you back for? To seduce me?" Lin Ran's heart was cold as a knife; he had discarded her like old shoes, and she had long stopped loving him.

She only came back to find her child. However, he began to be unrelenting, resorting to threats,诱惑, and confinement, crazily asking if she could love him again.

At 22, on the verge of university graduation, Xitong discovered she was pregnant. After her first in-depth discussion about the baby with her long-distance boyfriend, Yu Sixie, the independent Xitong unilaterally decided to keep the child and ditch the father.

Carrying this secret, Xitong broke up with him abruptly. Around this time, she recalled what a fortune teller had told her earlier that year: "Beauty, as long as you break up with your current boyfriend, your life will not only be rich and prosperous, but also all your wishes will come true! You will have a complete 'koi' physique!"

At the time, she scoffed, thinking that meeting Yu Sixie was probably her greatest luck. He was not only exceptionally handsome but also from a distinguished family. At the same age of 22, he had already graduated from a master's program overseas and returned to inherit the family business.

However, the fortune teller's words actually came true. Before she could even grieve the breakup, Xitong was suddenly informed that her deceased gambler parents had left behind a vast fortune, more than she could ever spend.

After keeping the child without the father, Xitong's life became like a cheat code. Her only worry was the fear that Yu Sixie would find out about the child's existence.

This traditional, rigid, cold, and forceful man would definitely fight her for the child... and would take her life, in bed, regardless of her will, one of those types.

At 29, Yu Sixie was so distinguished that no one dared to overstep. His only distress was that he couldn't let go of his ex-girlfriend. Why did Xitong break up with him?

Was he not handsome enough, not rich enough, or couldn't he provide her with emotional value and companionship? Or did he demand too much, and their intimate life wasn't harmonious? Now that he thought about it, she did scream quite "miserably" back then.

After much thought, Yu Sixie leaned towards the third option; he was indeed very busy in his early 20s. However, no matter how much he regretted it, there was no option to relive life.

But he wondered if he was really obsessed, as he kept feeling that a child influencer on a certain social media app looked like a combination of him and Xitong. "Mom—"

One day, at a five-star hotel in their hometown, the child influencer called out "Mom" to his first love, who had cut off contact with him seven years ago, asking for a hug. Yu Sixie let out an angry laugh: "Xitong, you're really something else."

No one knew how incredibly fortunate he felt behind his rage, that he still had a second chance. On messy sheets, she asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you regret breaking up with me because I insisted on having a child?"

"No regrets," he replied, his fingers tracing her beautiful curves. "Even if it sounds despicable, that child is the bond that ensures you'll never forget me."

Brief summary: The abstract couple mixes first, loves later.

Theme: Encounter implies compatibility.

Mu Jia was dumped, and she wasn't reconciled.

Initially, she only wanted to make a figure of authority bow his head. Xie Siyan, besides having a slight blood relation to her love rival, was top-notch in looks and family background. So, she used tricks to seduce him.

Later, under the cover of night, Xie Siyan's lips curled into a half-smile as he lifted her chin, asking, "How can you be so heartless? Using me and then leaving?" At this moment, Mu Jia's heart felt utterly cold.

This is a story of a transcendent being and a refined beauty; a tale of forced possession and stealing love from another.
