At twenty years old, Yuan Ning discovered she was an illegitimate daughter. After the legal wife intervened, her supposedly warm home disintegrated.
Sent to New York for high school at sixteen, her bank accounts were now frozen, her apartment sealed, and her mother back home was kicked out. Mother and daughter realized that of all the houses and jewelry they had enjoyed until now, not a single item truly belonged to them.
As for Yuan Ning's high-end custom clothes and Birkin bags... sorry, all of it was marital property belonging to someone else. Overnight, she went from a pampered young lady in a glass dome to a homeless wanderer.
"Mom can't support your studies in New York alone. Why don't you come back? No matter what, we can still demand some alimony from your father." Yuan Ning shook her head. "Mom, I want to reclaim my old life. No, I want an even better life."
With a click, she hung up the phone and looked towards the brownstone mansion at the end of the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, quietly nestled deep in lush greenery. It was a mansion even her father couldn't afford, and she walked towards it.
"Elias is the most gentlemanly man on the entire East Coast, Wynne. I hear you're studying fashion management at Parsons. I'm delighted you're willing to be his dressing consultant." Yuan Ning, wearing her last Dior suit to display her innate upper-class taste, shook hands with Mrs. Van Der Berg. "Theodora, it's a pleasure to work with you."
"I swear, you two will get along wonderfully."
Their first meeting confirmed Elias was a rare old-fashioned gentleman in New York. As Theodora had said, "We raised Elias according to the strictest aristocratic etiquette from childhood." He possessed an elegant and refined appearance: golden-brown curly hair, fair skin, and captivating blue eyes. Yuan Ning thought he would be easy to talk to.
"Miss Wynne, have you used this brooch?" Yuan Ning hadn't expected him to notice that she had only borrowed it for two hours. "I, I had a very important banquet, so I borrowed it for a moment. I apologize, Elias."
But then, Elias's gentlemanly demeanor changed. "Elias, no, no, you can't just choke me for this, h-h-h." Yuan Ning indeed had some ulterior motives for coming here. She wanted to maintain her former life and her former appearance. She navigated high society without anyone realizing she was bankrupt, determined to use every resource available.
He put her down, and she gasped for breath, clutching her throat. "I'm so sorry, Miss Wynne, I didn't mean to act like that. As compensation, how about I give you this brooch?"
He personally pinned the expensive diamond brooch to her chest. She tasted sweetness from him. She began to repeatedly try, and repeatedly gain. "Elias, you truly are the most gentlemanly man on the East Coast."
"You're welcome, my Wynne. You can get off my lap now and put my gauze skirt back down."
* The male lead is noble and pure.
* The two are evenly matched from beginning to end; the female lead will not allow herself to be harmed (the main text contains a little more backstory than the synopsis).
* The female lead didn't know she was an illegitimate daughter before and doesn't return home to fight for property afterward. She has her own world and career. Please don't criticize the illegitimate daughter aspect.
* The setting is circa 2000.

Heinrich thought he was coming to get married, not to serve as a dog, an accountant, a maid, a bodyguard, a toy, or a horse for a woman.
He was originally the heir to a noble title from a new wealthy German family, but on his way to Venice to pick up his bride, he was robbed, reduced to a slave, and bought home as a pet by a young widow.
"From today on, I am your master," she declared.
Heinrich knelt on the ground and looked up, only to discover that the woman who bought him was his fiancée.
She was far from the gentle and virtuous young lady of reputation. Instead, she was a perverted, wicked woman who had schemed to murder her fiancé simply to avoid marriage, and an evil banker known by the name of the fallen witch, "Lilith."
To survive, Heinrich had to act the part of a loyal dog to please his mistress, stand up for her in moments of danger, and endure whips and torture when she was angry. Being a dog wasn't enough; he had to be an ox and horse too: he had to handle mergers, reorganizations, and currency exchanges. He had to set fires in warehouses and steal documents. He paved her way with his own blood and tears, helping her step by step become the financial queen of the Adriatic Sea.
He endured humiliation and bore a heavy burden, secretly cultivating his own strength to reclaim everything that belonged to him... Yet, just as he was about to achieve his wish, he realized he had accidentally become addicted to being this woman's dog.
An obsessive, calculating, and love-sick dog-like man x a cunning, ruthless, career-driven wicked woman.
Contains dog-training literature + marriage before love + mutual antagonism (meaning the male and female leads will have confrontations).
Reading Guide:

Beyond the mountains and seas lies a city called Gotham, where a strange vigilante family roams. Their leader is named Batman, and they operate independently yet watch over each other.
They love to get into fights and struggle to express their feelings!
Stop!
Adrian states he has no involvement. He only wants to follow his promising leader to conquer Gotham and successfully clear the game.
2
Why didn't anyone tell him that the leader is also a Bat-vigilante and that fighting with the Bat-vigilantes is purely internal family business?
Adrian has dead fish eyes. No wonder he failed to clear the game. It's fine, he can restart the world after failing.
Adrian: Leader, this time we will definitely conquer Gotham!
However, after adding points and restarting, he became a puppy, and even the map changed.
Adrian: There are so many points to complain about, but I can't do anything.
*
If you had the chance to choose again, would you still resolutely stand on the leader's side?
: I told you, Leader is the leader for life.
What if the leader doesn't want to conquer Gotham?
: What do you mean, what to do? The leader must have his reasons for doing this. Just follow mindlessly.

【Note】
1. Third-person perspective, plot plus romance.
2. Characters belong to their original works; this story belongs to the author.
3. It leans a bit towards a game-like experience. The first playthrough of the Arkham Knight chapter is akin to background information, like a prologue, just a bit longer. Those who mind, enter with caution.
4. This story is a personal fanfic for Jason Todd and Batman, with less Batman content.

When I was lifting Lucian’s chin with a whip, admiring his restrained expression, a flood of memories suddenly struck me.
It turned out I had transmigrated into a novel I once read, becoming the wicked little villain who abused the male lead in the early stages, causing him to turn evil.
Looking at the male lead before me, who was not in good condition anywhere, who can tell me what I should do?

"Lady Knight Simulator" is a realistic medieval management game. The fief is located in the barbaric borderlands of the kingdom, with long winters and snow piling up to the ankles. The manor is old and dilapidated; a mere step on the rotten floorboards can make a layer of debris fall off, and when the wind howls outside, it lightly breezes inside.
As for food, what's served daily is either tough, dry bread or bland wheat porridge, and the hens are too frozen to lay eggs. Bandits from neighboring countries can cross the frozen river to disturb the peace; tenants live in fear, and knights must patrol for defense before dawn, with war constantly threatening lives.
After dying and transmigrating into the game as Olivia, the lady herself, she almost fainted. The NPC tool she had carelessly set attributes for became her husband, the terrible map she got from a bad draw became her home, and game functions had to be unlocked one by one by completing tasks.
Task 1: "Explore the Manor". Task Description: How many rat holes are in your manor? What's in the third wooden barrel in the cellar? Come and explore! Task Rewards: EXP +5, Egg Production +20%.
Reading Guide: The background is fictional, so do not take it literally. There are no fantasy elements. Content tags include Western Romance, Time Travel, System, Medieval. Other tags: Medieval. One-sentence summary: A medieval knight's lady's handbook. Theme: Live a good life.

The Norman family's two sisters are both engaged, but the entire family is distraught. The kind and innocent younger sister is to be used as a pawn, marrying into the treacherous ducal mansion.
The intelligent and calm older sister is to marry a nouveau riche upstart, desperate for a good facade. A white rabbit sent into a demon's den, a swan fallen into a swamp. Old Norman rolled his eyes, almost kicking the bucket.
As a transmigrator, the older sister, Isabella, pinched her father's philtrum with one hand and wiped her younger sister Audrey's tears with the other, calmly stating: "Let's swap, dear."
It was rumored that the Norman family's youngest daughter was dull-witted, and everyone in the Spencer Ducal Mansion harbored ill intentions, setting traps and waiting for a laugh. Who would have thought that the rumored 'idiot' young lady was exceptionally elegant, her ice-blue eyes seemingly able to see through schemes and stratagems, tackling challenges one after another until she reached the pinnacle of power?
As for the forgotten Duke himself? Isabella: "Oh, I'm sorry, I think you should know that a career-minded woman doesn't need a man."
To avoid being looked down upon by her high-born daughter-in-law, Mrs. White awkwardly put on airs of high society, reflecting for the eighteenth time if the pattern on her brooch was too gaudy. A small head poked out from outside the door, with light golden curls, sparkling blue eyes, and a shy smile: "Hi, beautiful lady, please allow me to greet you, your brooch is truly lovely."
Mrs. White was stunned, her imposing demeanor completely gone: "Uh, hi, hello." Young Master Herman, uninterested in his fiancée and maintaining his icy demeanor, paused his gaze, then quickly moved it away. Audrey beamed a smile: "Good afternoon, Mr. White." Herman White: "..."
The all-rounder, career-minded and elegant older sister X the self-conquering, love-struck, fake 'b-king' Duke. The kind and lovely little angel younger sister X the aloof, ruthless, ambitious new noble.
This story is also known as: "The Western Version of Right Groom, Wrong Sedan Chair." Its core message is to adapt to local conditions and create a beautiful life.

Emotional Version: Alice Bennet, the third daughter of the Bennet family of gentry in England, rapidly became famous after moving from the countryside of Longbourn to the metropolis of London. Everyone thought she was a true English lady, but unfortunately, beneath the facade was a jade hare spirit from the East.
Adrian Moran, the second son of the former Earl of Camden, obtained a teaching position with the help of his family, becoming a clergyman in London. However, as famous as his beauty in aristocratic circles was his sharp tongue.
When an unrestrained Eastern妖精 meets a stoic Western clergyman... Alice: "Mr. Adrian, you're a beautiful, fragrant little biscuit, let me have a bite." The most stubborn-mouthed gentleman said, "Miss Alice, no!" Progress bar for pushing him down: Completed!
Career Version: As a medicine-pounding jade hare, she took advantage of a heavenly realm exchange experience to reincarnate into the Bennet family in Longbourn, Western world, becoming Alice Bennet. With two older sisters and three younger sisters, she was destined to receive no inheritance.
To avoid ending up on the streets, she wielded her jade pestle and headed to London to resume her old profession. Mrs. Bennet: "Selling medicine? No, Alice, you are a gentleman's daughter, pity my delicate nerves!"
Delicate nerves? She has medicine! Alice smeared invigorating paste on Mrs. Bennet's face... "Have you heard about that Eastern pharmacy in London? The owner is actually a young gentleman's daughter."
"Who doesn't know now? It's so unfashionable not to! That's the magical pharmacy leading the new trend in Europe!"
Notes: The female lead is not a virgin, the male lead is. The overall plot line and emotional line content ratio is roughly 3:7; more plot in the early stages, more emotional lines after a dozen chapters. The female lead is semi-original, based on the original work.
She doesn't "collect" Darcy, doesn't break up official couples, and Wickham is unworthy. The story's background mainly references the Georgian era (George III) from the original "Pride and Prejudice"; it's fictional with private settings, so please do not scrutinize historical accuracy.
