Shi Man was the best special agent in the organization, and she was supposed to retire in peace, but they came after her to purge her anyway. She died exhausted after turning the tables against the organization's agents... but was reborn, transmigrating into a book as its villainess! The villainess's family is rich and powerful. Being the only daughter, her mother and brothers would pamper her out of control, and she was engaged to the male lead at birth. Yet, the body's original owner messed up big-time despite being dealt the perfect hand. She harassed the female lead to win the male lead's attention and affection until she eventually incensed the male lead. He threw her into the colosseum ring, where she was torn to pieces. Her family naturally went all out to avenge her and ended up suffering multiple casualties as they fell into desperate straits...On the other hand, when Shi Man reincarnated, she told the male lead that they should go their separate ways and pretend they never knew each other even if they met again. She even paid the female lead with emotional duress compensation and told her they had nothing to do with each other from then on. However, after parting ways with them and preparing to begin a new life, the male lead regretted his choice and started wooing her. The supporting male characters who were never interested in her also had a sudden change of heart, and even the female lead was now offering to be her follower! Staring at the mob flocking around Shi Man, the Shi family was furious. "She belongs to our family! Stay away!"
Shi Man sized him up with an unfriendly expression and nodded. "Sure."
It was just a banquet. It was just eating and drinking. When the time came, she could just find an opportunity to slip away.
Seeing her agree, the smile in Yi Zheng's eyes deepened. "Then it's settled. I'll pick you up tomorrow."
"Address," Shi Man reminded him with a hint of warning.
Yi Zheng raised his eyebrows in amusement. "Would I go back on my word with you? I've already told Sean the address. It should be almost time, but if they're too slow and late, you can't blame me."
"Yi Zheng!" Shi Man gritted her teeth and called his name.
The man nodded and smiled good-naturedly. "I'm here. I asked Tang Zhe to reserve a table at a restaurant near your company just now. Do you want to eat together?"
Shi Man stared at him darkly.
Yi Zheng increased his chips with a playful expression. "I can also tell you who helped Shi Jing hide."
