"...Must’ve remembered something..."

The little maid sighed, brushing stray strands from her delicate shoulder as she stared helplessly at the tablet screen.

"But... I only know the basics of the internet, ya... Can I even find what Young Master Qin needs?"

She patted her soft cheeks. Her sweet, slightly helpless voice sounded utterly endearing—enough to make anyone want to ruffle her hair.

"Hmm... For the sweet cash... I’ll do it! Let’s go!"

Nodding firmly, she let out an adorable shout. Her flawless, jade-like hands flew across the tablet in a frantic blur.

Fingers moved so fast they left afterimages. Screens flashed nonstop. No idea what she was doing—but wow, it looked seriously impressive.

...

Cheng Du served as principal of Qingli School and CEO of Chengbu Company. In professional circles, he barely qualified as "notable."

He had three daughters: eldest Cheng Yu Fei, second Cheng Mu Shan, youngest Cheng Yu An.

All strikingly beautiful, each with distinct charm. Yu Fei—sharp and decisive. Mu Shan—a finance-savvy career woman. Yu An, though youngest, had already earned quiet praise for her medical skill and gentle kindness.

Industry insiders nicknamed him:

*The Daughter-Selling Maniac.*

Yes, that mocking title stuck. Despite Cheng Du’s indecisiveness, spinelessness, and cowardice, he’d built a decent career—by "selling" his daughters, step by step.

He married Yu Fei to the Ma family’s eldest son, a powerful clan in Pinghai City. She became the young master’s wife; he reaped generous rewards.

Mu Shan was wed into another elite household. Scandals flared—but he still pocketed his share.

Thanks to these deals, he rose to president of Qingli University while his company thrived. Yet his reputation soured, and both elder daughters cut all ties.

Yu An remained unmarried—not out of mercy, but status. Her birth stemmed from a drunken indiscretion. Her mother? Just a waitress of modest beauty.

By the time Cheng Du learned of it, Yu An was already born. Her mother leveraged the child for position—a role akin to concubine.

The scandal spread wide. Cheng Du swallowed the bitter pill silently.

Thus, Yu An’s origins became constant fodder for mockery and disdain.

Yet she grew kind, gentle—and fell deeply for medicine.

"Whoa... So many scandals, ya... Good thing my parents adore me!"

Relieved, the little maid’s straightened back softened. She slumped onto the bed, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"Crushing this small company shouldn’t be hard. Let’s start with Young Master Qin’s mom~"

She skimmed the intel gathered via Azure Cloud Group’s network, then nodded in satisfaction.

"Sweet cash~"

...

Yu Zhe.

Ordinary-looking at first glance, but quietly handsome.

Skilled in medicine—rumor said his acupuncture miraculously cured cases modern science couldn’t touch, earning him modest fame in Pinghai City.

A martial arts expert too: he once thoroughly thrashed Young Master Qin’s bodyguards. And mind you—those guards held titles like combat tournament champions, ya.

Zero educational records except Qingli University.

Always "accidentally" stumbling into damsel-in-distress moments... and chasing off villains every time.

"Holy cow..."

After reading Yu Zhe’s file, only one thought echoed in Qin Cheng’s mind:

"So you’re *that* urban-novel protagonist—the type who jabs needles randomly and cures incurable diseases?"

"The guy who helps an old man on the street and boom—he’s a grand commander or chairman of a mega-corp?"

"...So I’m literally the villain here?"
