Yun Manyin, the original female lead, the woman Lu Siyuan loved but could never have.
The original book was a melodramatic romance novel about a broken relationship being mended.
The female lead, Yun Manyin, and the male lead fell in love in college, but were separated due to a misunderstanding. After graduation, the two met again and became entangled in a series of melodramatic conflicts.
The Great Villain, Lu Siyuan, served two main purposes in the story: one was to oppose the male lead and court death recklessly, and the other was to act as Yun Manyin’s devoted simp—secretly pining for her, pursuing her, and imprisoning her. Through his actions, the feelings between the male and female leads grew stronger and stronger, ultimately leading to a happy ending.
And after all his efforts, he was nothing more than a link in their love game—a complete clown.
When Lu Siyuan saw Yun Manyin’s name, his expression softened with tenderness, and he quickly stepped aside to take the call.
Yun Manyin’s sobbing voice came through the phone: “A Yan, hurry to Avis Bar, someone is bullying me, wuwuwu…”
Lu Siyuan panicked upon hearing this and immediately comforted her: “Yinyin, don’t worry, I’m on my way right now.”
After hanging up, he cursed: “Those bastards, daring to bully my woman, they’re asking for death!”
He turned to look at Lu Wanmian and instructed: “Mianmian, I’ll have A Kai take you back to the Lu residence. I have something to deal with, and I’ll come find you when I’m done.”
With that, without waiting for Lu Wanmian’s reply, he left in a huff with his men.
Lu Wanmian’s brows furrowed. She remembered now—this time when Lu Siyuan went to the bar to rescue Yun Manyin, he was framed and locked up in a detention center.
As a result, the Lu Group was hit with negative press, the stock price plummeted, and the losses were significant. As for Yun Manyin, after Lu Siyuan was framed, the male lead made his grand entrance, played the hero saving the damsel in distress, and successfully won her heart.
Lu Siyuan became the male lead’s stepping stone—a complete fool.
However, if he wanted to be a fool, that was his business. But if it affected the group’s reputation and stock price, causing losses—that wouldn’t do.
That was all her family fortune.
Lu Wanmian turned to look at the bodyguard A Kai behind her and asked urgently: “A Kai, where did you park the car?”
After A Kai told her the location, he asked: “Miss, should we head back now?”
Lu Wanmian shook her head: “No, we’re going to the bar now.”
She grabbed A Kai’s car keys, ran out of the hospital like the wind, found A Kai’s car, pulled open the door, sat in the driver’s seat, and floored the gas pedal. The car sped off with a roar.
A Kai, who had chased after her, was stunned speechless: “Damn, driving that fast—Miss is really fierce.”
Suddenly remembering something, he hurriedly chased after her and shouted: “Hey, Miss, I haven’t gotten in the car yet!”
…
Fifteen minutes later, Avis Bar.
The afternoon bar was starting to get lively. Fast-paced DJ music blared as men and women gathered on the dance floor, dancing joyfully. Some customers sat in the booths nearby, drinking and swaying along with the music. The atmosphere was electric.
Suddenly, with a bang, the bar’s door was kicked open violently, and a group of people stormed in with menacing momentum.
Leading them was Lu Siyuan. His gaze was dark and sinister, radiating a chilling killing intent that was overwhelmingly oppressive.
The festive atmosphere instantly cooled. The crowd, frightened, quickly stopped dancing and retreated to the sides.
Lu Siyuan ignored them, striding quickly across the dance floor toward the private rooms in the back.
He was heading to private room 107 to find Yun Manyin.
As he passed by private room 102, a girl’s voice drifted out from inside: “Brother Wang, come have a drink.”
The voice sounded somewhat familiar. He paused mid-step and glanced into the room. Inside sat a few thugs, with a greasy, heavyset man with a fierce expression in the middle.
Beside the fat man stood a girl. She wore a sailor uniform, a pink wig, and heavy red lipstick—a flashy, unconventional getup.
Looking closer, it was actually Lu Wanmian.
His pupils contracted sharply. Why was his sister here, dressed like that, serving drinks?
While he was still in shock, the fat man called Wang Laowu stared lecherously at Lu Wanmian’s neckline and asked, “Little miss, mind if I cop a feel?”
Lu Wanmian refused immediately: “No way. I only sell drinks, not my body.”
Wang Laowu grew furious: “You little bitch, won’t even let me touch you? You’re asking for trouble. You’re dead meat.”
He shoved her hard, sending her sprawling to the floor. The glass in her hand flew toward the door and shattered with a sharp crack, spilling liquor everywhere.
Lu Siyuan’s heart jolted. He rushed into the room, helped Lu Wanmian up, and asked in shock, “Mianmian, what are you doing here?”
Seeing him, she lowered her head in a fluster and told a weak lie: “I just arrived in the capital with no money. The bar pays well, so I came to work here. After the family reunion, I hurried back for my shift.”
She had taken a shortcut and sped all the way, arriving a few minutes before Lu Siyuan and the others.
After reaching the bar, she had planned to go straight to find Yun Manyin, but as she passed private room 102, she saw a lecherous male customer harassing a female server.
After the server fled in fright, an idea struck her. She paid the server to swap for a sailor uniform and wig, timed her entrance perfectly, and walked in to deliver drinks. The sleazy fat man Wang Laowu, seeing how pretty she was, immediately asked her to sit and drink with him, and even tried to grope her—exactly the scene Lu Siyuan and his group walked in on.
Wang Laowu, seeing Lu Siyuan barge in, stood up angrily and demanded, “Who the hell are you people? How dare you barge into my room?”
Lu Siyuan didn’t answer. His cold gaze landed on Wang Laowu’s right hand, remembering that this was the hand that had shoved his newly recognized precious sister. A murderous glint flashed in his eyes: “Break that filthy hand.”
A bodyguard behind him lunged forward, grabbed Wang Laowu’s hand, and twisted it hard. With a crack, the bone snapped.
Wang Laowu let out a shriek of pain, and the next second, the bodyguard kicked him to the ground.
The thugs around him jumped in fright.
Wang Laowu, a seasoned street fighter, erupted in fury and shouted at them: “What are you standing there for? Kill these bastards!”
A murderous glint flashed in the thugs’ eyes. They immediately pulled out steel pipes and swung at Lu Siyuan.
The bodyguards behind him charged forward and clashed with them. The room descended into chaos—tables were flipped, dishes and bottles crashed to the floor with a clatter, and passersby fled in terror.
Lu Siyuan pulled Lu Wanmian aside, shielding her in his arms, and soothed her: “Don’t be scared, little sister. Big brother will protect you.”
Lu Wanmian wasn’t scared at all, but she played the part of a frightened little rabbit—pitiful and timid, yet putting on a brave face: “Mm, with big brother here, I’m not afraid.”
Her appearance made Lu Siyuan’s heart ache with pity. His sister had suffered so much outside, and just after being reunited with the family, she still had to come to a place like this to work and earn money—it was truly heartbreaking.
“Don’t come to places like this to work anymore. The Lu family has plenty of money; we can afford to support you.”
Lu Wanmian nodded obediently. “Okay.”
Looking at his well-behaved and sensible sister, Lu Siyuan’s heart softened into a puddle.
Before long, Wang Laowu and his men were subdued by the bodyguards. Wang Laowu had been beaten badly and knelt on the ground, weeping and begging Lu Siyuan for mercy.
Lu Siyuan kicked him to the ground with a fierce glare. “You filthy dog, daring to bully my sister Lu Siyuan—you’re asking for death.”
Wang Laowu sobbed and pleaded, “Master Lu, spare me this once. I won’t dare do it again.”
Lu Siyuan didn’t forgive him; he kicked him again.
Watching Wang Laowu in such a miserable state, Lu Wanmian narrowed her eyes slightly. This pervert had clearly done plenty of bad deeds, and running into her today was his just deserts.
After dealing with these people, Lu Siyuan suddenly thought of Yun Manyin. His heart tightened, and he immediately instructed, “Mianmian, wait for me outside. I’m going to find someone in private room 107.”
With those words, he turned and left.
Lu Wanmian panicked.
Damn it, this fool was still going to find the female lead!
She was just about to grab him when, suddenly, one of Wang Laowu’s underlings seized the opportunity while they were off guard, grabbed a wine bottle, and charged at Lu Siyuan, swinging it at his back.
