Loved By An Older Man
The betrothal gift is two million bucks, not a single cent less. Jiang Yu is already eighteen years old and can get married now. Send the money to my card, and this matter is settled!" Jiang Yu looked at her mother, who was talking non-stop on the negotiation table. She watched as her mother named her price as she sold Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu could not believe it. Eighteen years ago, they brought the wrong baby home from the hospital, and Jiang Yu, the real daughter of a wealthy family, ended up in an orphanage until a year ago. Jiang Ran, the fake daughter of the Jiang family, grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth. With superior resources since she was young, she was more outstanding than Jiang Yu in every aspect and became the pride of the Jiang family. Jiang Yu, who wandered most of her time in the outside world, was nothing but a country bumpkin who made her mother a laughing stock in the socialite circle. However, Jiang Yu had no idea how great her mother's hatred for her was. On the day she turned eighteen, her mother 'sold' her with a named price. Jiang Yu said, "If you want to marry your daughter to someone else, it should be Jiang Ran. I'm your real daughter. You're the one who mistakenly brought Jiang Ran home!" Her mother replied, "Shut up. I wish I hadn't given birth to you. You've brought nothing but shame to me!" Jiang Ran said, "Big Sis, everything Mom does is for your own good. Don't blame Mom." Her mother said, "I'm convinced she's nothing but a debt collector who's come to me to collect her debts! Either you give me two million bucks, or you get married obediently!" Jiang Yu left home in despair. By a freak combination of factors, she found herself accidentally marrying a Mr. CEO. From then on, the thirty-year-old man pampered his eighteen-year-old wife to the heavens. The little girl said, "Mister, someone bullied your wife!" The man, "Which incompetent fool is so blind that he dares to bully you?"

I didn't like the protagonist from the start; this story about killing to prevent future threats is a weak justification, he didn't need to kill. And what bothered me the most was the harem. I like harems in fanfics, but only when it's well done and shows how the girls fell in love with the protagonist. The story starts with Felicia and Mary Jane already being devoted to the protagonist. And there's no development of the protagonist being sympathetic and showing deep love and affection for them. The protagonist's personality doesn't fit with a harem. He's always canceling plans with them, and even then they just get upset and then go back to being devoted to him. When I started reading, I hoped that the author would have Mary Jane end up with Peter, since this couple is and always will be the most beloved by fans. And the rest of the girls would be with the protagonist, like Felicia, who is a character destined to never be with Peter forever. But the author really made Peter act like Liz's cattle while literally having Mary Jane right there by his side. I dropped this fanfic mainly because of that. The idea for this fanfic had potential, but the author's choices didn't appeal to me. As a Spider-Man fan who came here to read a Spider-Man fanfic, I feel like I wasted my time. So far, the best Spider-Man fanfic I've found is Spider-Man: Mayhem.
