Volume One, Chapter One: You've Wrapped Up Filming in the Script of a Love-Struck Fool!

Liu Dong felt his heart pounding even faster as he saw Tang Yufei approach. He drew a deep breath and tried hard to calm himself.

"Yufei, you're here." His voice trembled slightly.

Tang Yufei wore a white dress, her long hair flowing, her lips painted a blazing red. Though she was only twenty, she had a seductive charm that seemed far beyond her years.

"So you really did dare to come."

She frowned and did not even glance at him properly.

"Yufei, I truly love you. I'll shelter you from wind and rain, I'll work myself to the bone for you! If it comes to it, I can even marry into your family! Our children can take your surname, Tang, and I can take it too!"

"Pah. You think you're worthy?"

With that, Tang Yufei's skirt swayed as she turned and walked away. After only a few steps, she suddenly stopped.

"Yufei, have you changed your mind..."

"Get lost, right now! And since when do you get to call me Yufei?"

With that, she vanished from Liu Dong's sight.

-----------------------

A tear glimmered at the corner of Liu Dong's eye.

At last, it was over! Two years. Do you know how I survived these two years?

As the driver for the municipal party secretary, Liu Dong had been serving the secretary's wife when, at the critical moment, everything went black and he was transported into a melodramatic web novel. He became a bootlicking villain, and in the very first chapter, the protagonist Ye Aotian kicked his manhood apart and he bled to death.

Looking at his reflection in the floor-to-ceiling window, with his 188-centimeter height, perfectly proportioned build, and an outrageously handsome face, this was supposed to be the villain?

For the Liu family's bloodline, and so as not to make countless young women cry their hearts out, he had followed the system's instructions and frantically groveled after the campus belle of Hua Xia University, Tang Yufei, finally completing the task just before Ye Aotian's appearance.

Liu Dong straightened his crisp black suit and pushed open the door to the engagement banquet hall.

"Mom, I don't want to marry Liu Dong. He's nothing but a bumpkin and a bootlicker!"

"Be good, daughter. That brat Liu Dong just lost both parents, and he loves you so completely. First make him take your surname and marry into the family. Once we've gotten all their money, then you can..."

"Cough, cough." Seeing Liu Dong enter, Tang Yufei's father, Xue Lei, hurriedly cut off the mother and daughter's conversation.

"Oh, Xiao Liu is here? Come on over and sit. Your aunt invited all the relatives and friends for this engagement banquet, to witness the happy union of our two families."

Tang Yufei's mother, Tang Yun, smiled with great kindness, utterly unconcerned whether Liu Dong had heard their earlier words.

What a beautiful viper.

Liu Dong smiled as he walked to the center of the hall and said slowly, "Everyone, please quiet down. I have something to announce."

The crowd looked at him in confusion.

Tang Yufei frowned, highly displeased. "Liu Dong, you've gotten cocky, haven't you? You're marrying into our Tang family! What right do you have to speak?"

Liu Dong smiled faintly, with a trace of contempt.

"Miss Tang, I know you're in a hurry, but don't be."

Everyone in the room froze. Miss Tang? Who didn't know Liu Dong was Tang Yufei's bootlicker? If they had not heard it with their own ears, no one would have believed those words had come from Liu Dong's mouth.

"What did you say?!"

"I said, shut up."

Liu Dong raised his voice.

Tang Yufei was so furious that a vein throbbed at her temple, and she lifted her hand to slap him.

Smack.

Her slender, pale arm stopped in midair, firmly caught by Liu Dong.

"Yufei, stop making a scene. Listen to what Liu Dong has to say," Tang Yun said, forcing down her anger as she played the peacemaker. She thought to herself that once she had the Liu family's fortune, she would deal with him then.

"Mom..."

"I have decided to dissolve the engagement with Miss Tang."

Liu Dong's voice was not loud, but it exploded through the crowd like a bomb.

"Liu Dong, you dog! What did you say? Say it again!"

Tang Yufei was already too enraged to think straight.

"I said, I, Liu Dong, don't want you anymore."

Just as everyone stood stunned, the hall door flew open with a bang.

Ye Aotian entered with a crooked grin and happened to see Liu Dong holding Tang Yufei's hand while Tang Yufei wore an expression of furious outrage.

He thought, Perfect timing.

"Yufei, don't be afraid. I'm here to protect you!"

Ye Aotian darted forward in a flash, the muscles in his calf bulging as he whipped a kick at Liu Dong's groin like a spring.

There was a dull thud.

"Ahhhhhh!"

The crowd shut their eyes, unable to bear looking. That had to be a crushing blow. When they opened their eyes again, they were shocked to discover that the one screaming was Ye Aotian, who was wearing a security guard's uniform.

Liu Dong wiped the sweat from his brow. Good thing I finished licking Tang Yufei's boots ahead of time and got Dragon Soul. Hardness was all that mattered.

Ye Aotian gritted his teeth, realizing that his shinbone had been broken. Though astonished and unsure what had happened, he still forced himself to stand.

"Yufei, don't marry him. The Liu family is already bankrupt! He pursued you without any bottom line because he wants the Tang Group's wealth!"

Tang Yun frowned. The Liu Group had gone bankrupt?

The others looked at Liu Dong in disbelief. The Liu Group was a well-known local company too. Had Liu Dong ruined himself that quickly?

"He's right. I have nothing now."

Liu Dong sounded relaxed, but inwardly he was cursing. He had thought he was being transported in as a rich second generation, only to find out he was a prodigal.

"You..."

Tang Yufei was momentarily speechless, her expression complicated.

Liu Dong slowly released Tang Yufei's hand, walked up beside Ye Aotian, and said softly, "Bro, this girl is still yours. I didn't touch her."

Seeing Liu Dong's fawning look, Ye Aotian was full of question marks.

"Bro, keep going with the crooked grin... no, no, keep performing. I'm leaving first."

With that, Liu Dong turned and was about to slip away.

Just kidding. He had read this idiotic wish-fulfillment novel before. Ye Aotian was the "Dragon King" cultivated by the Iron-Faced Shura Mercenary Corps. Behind him stood the entire mercenary organization, and his own martial arts were formidable as well.

If it weren't for survival, he would never have gone after Ye Aotian's woman. At most, this was a battle to protect his manhood!

Now that his life was safe, would he still be short of women?

Although things had not gone the way Ye Aotian expected, the situation did not seem to have gone off course.

"Yufei, are you hurt?"

Ye Aotian reached out to touch Tang Yufei's cheek, only for her to raise her hand and swat it away.

"You little security guard. Do you really think that because I smile at you a few times at school, it means I like you?"

Tang Yufei said coldly.

Before Ye Aotian could speak, Tang Yufei suddenly went on, "Liu Dong, stop right there!"

Liu Dong stopped, but did not turn around.

"Why are you the one canceling the engagement? You're nothing but my bootlicker!"

"Yes, I was your bootlicker for two years, but I won't be anymore. From now on, I can lick anyone I want, and I will never lick you again."

"What?"

Tang Yufei shuddered at Liu Dong's words.

"Sorry, but you've finished filming in my script."

With that, Liu Dong pushed open the door and left in grand style.
