"Handsome, we must have met before. Was it in my bed... or was it in yours?" Shera Black asked, sitting on a snake-print sofa. She had her chin rested in her right hand as her left hand twirled a wineglass leisurely. Leo Qin who was standing before her narrowed his gaze. "Are all women so unrestrained these days?" "I don't know about other women." The woman's lips curled into a sinister smirk. "But, you may want to step aside. You are standing on a booby trap." Leo Qin was speechless. This woman stole his heart, and now she set a trap for him? Preposterous! ___ ... Falling from the grace of an aristocratic family, Shera Black's view of the world crumbled along with her state of mind. How does it feel to lose everything overnight? Heiress-turned-beggar? Unimaginable! The world was cruel... but it was much more cruel to her. Why?! Just because of some measly facts that were beyond her control and sins she didn't commit? And just when everyone thought she was done for... when they all thought she was on the brink of insanity or suicide, Shera Black unexpectedly rose right back up. Shera Black: Hello world, I'm back! Miss me already? World: Wait. Something's not right. She has become a villainess?! And this villainess was clearly not here to make friends. She was back to wreck harvoc and destroy the world! Not only that,.... She was pretty much done wrecking harvoc. Guess what's next? ... As the heir to the Qin Empire, everything was under his grasp. Yet Leo Qin would never have thought that the only thing he didn't predict was the calamity he had poked... and this calamity was coming his way. Looking at the female 'calamity' before him, he gritted his teeth and hissed. "Woman, you are playing with fire!" The calamity crossed her legs and glanced right back at him. "I am fire. How can I play with myself, Mr. Qin?" He looked at her crossed legs and frowned in disapproval. "Women shouldn't cross their legs." The woman leisurely tapped the armrest. "Oh? Are our legs too short to be crossed?" "It's disrespectful!" "Respect?" She looked at him curiously. "What's that?" Annoyed now, Leo Qin said, "If you continue being like this, no one will want to marry you!" But the woman just smiled evilly. "Who said I want to get married? Pfft, seriously, who still does that?" Leo Qin was speechless. God, can we have a chat? I don't want this woman anymore!!! Brace yourselves: Vicious Female lead. You may want to prepare yourselves for some of those things female leads don't usually do NOTE: THIS IS A SYSTEM BOOK ... Editor: May May ___ Discord: tinyurl.com/Avalorian Instagram: Avalorian_
Leo Qin opened the door to his office. As soon as he walked in, a swish resounded as a pair of hands grabbed him and pushed him against the wall, pressing the cold, sharp knife against his neck. A thud reverberated in the office as a result of his back bumping into the wall, and the documents in his hands dropped onto the floor, scattering in different directions and at his feet.
What met his eyes was a pair of icy eyes as dark as the night. "Speak! Where's The Heart of the Goddess?"
The man was stunned by the sudden cold and sharp sensation on his neck. He looked back into those chilling eyes. "You may want to loosen your hand a little. I don't like speaking with knives on my neck."
The woman narrowed her eyes condensingly, a murderous intent washing over them. Anyone who saw that icy blue pair of eyes would have nightmares every night for half their lives. It was as though she had been possessed by a devil - but in this case, she was not possessed. She was the devil.
Her voice sounded like the arrival of several centuries-old demons: eerie and full of bloodlust. "This is your final chance. If you do not treasure it, my knife will draw blood."
Leo Qin chuckled, as though his life was not being threatened. "You can go right ahead. Then you will not have the Heart of the Goddess."
"Heh...." Her chuckle was like the sound of thunder, the final warning before a raging storm wiped out the earth.
She looked at the man before her. He dared to defy her? Who the heck did he think he was?
He was so not keeping his life.
"You have used up all your chances." Her grip tightened on the knife before she pressed it into his flesh.
Leo Qin raised a hand immediately and hit her wrist. The knife fell onto the floor following the sharp pain in her wrist.
"Good fighters don't need weapons." He taunted.
...
Thirty minutes later.
Leo Qin slumped into the sofa in the office and so did she. They both gasped for air, the rhythms of their heaving chests almost identical.
"Shera Black, is it? More formidable than I thought."
"How did you know?" the woman straightened her clothes that had gotten disheveled from all the fighting.
"Wasn't hard to guess. Not many people can spar with me, much less women."
The woman's lips twitched. Not many people could keep their lives after a fight with her either. And this man... just how gutsy was he?
"The terrifying queen of La Rose Noire came to find me for a mere piece of jewelry. Should I be flattered?"
Shera Black coughed. A mere piece of jewelry?
Fine. It was just a necklace and although it was one of the most valuable masterpieces of The Qin Empire and was about to be launched to the world the next day, it wasn't truly worth all this effort. She could have simply sent a lackey to steal it. As for why she wanted it....
"Why do you want such a cold and lifeless heart anyway? I have a better heart to offer." Leo Qin's taunting continued. "On second thought, I'll give you the better heart and The Heart of the Goddess can be considered a bonus. No need to thank me too profusely!"
Swish!
A punch assaulted his chest.
"La Rose Noire doesn't need your charity." She stood up and went over to the spot where her knife had fallen earlier, and picked it. Leo Qin's eyes bulged as he saw her flick it and retract the blade then fasten it on her belt.
How the hell did she get into The Qin Empire with that?
"See you tomorrow. At the official launch banquet for The Heart of the Goddess. I'll steal it then."
In the next moment, she opened the window and jumped right out.
Leo Qin felt his face and chest that had been punched swollen.
"Shera Black... Intriguing."
