Only You: The Billionaire's Obsession - Chapter 70: Sorry, I’m Not That Despicable

D-list celebrity Zhong Ruanxing had been embroiled in controversies over her sultry figure ever since her debut. Smear campaigns and malicious rumors clung to her like a shadow. Years of oppression from higher-ups and sabotage by rivals made it difficult for her to shake off her reputation as a femme fatale, severely hindering her career.

Song Jingxing, CEO of the prestigious Song Group, graduated top of his class and stirred up storms in the business world with his capabilities. An aloof presence at the pinnacle of power, his interpersonal relationships were a mess, with even family keeping their distance. People loathed his attitude.

A freak accident caused these two very different people to swap bodies.

What they thought would be an arduous ordeal turned out to be an unexpected boon. Each found they could easily resolve issues that had plagued the other.

The celebrity living the CEO’s daily life: Greeted his family affectionately, treated subordinates with care, gave employees benefits, complimented his secretary’s new hairstyle—starting the day with vigor!

The CEO as celebrity: Trampled over rivals, tore apart enemies, sent lawyers after antis. Whoever dared provoke him would die! The CEO was whipping the entertainment industry into shape!

Much later, netizens posted:

[Who is Zhong Ruanxing’s backer? Her resources are too good now. From nobody to A-lister, whose thighs did she hug to get here?]

Online influencers hurried to speculate about the magnate behind Zhong Ruanxing.

Until the famously aloof CEO of the Song Group responded: I’m pouring resources into my own girlfriend. Got a problem with that?

Deep below the earth's surface, a mystifying subterranean seascape lurks, an archipelago bathed in inky blackness where suspense and horror hold court. Here lie strange islands and even stranger monsters, far beyond the realms of human imagination. In this domain, mankind is far from dominant; instead, madness and death rule supreme.

Pleading for mercy from the unknown creatures of the deep only leads to a slow, tortured existence. The trapped survivors gradually distort, losing what made them human, both physically and mentally, to the gloom as they remain trapped in this eternal obscurity. Their only hope? A perilous expedition into uncharted sea territories.

Fueled by determination, Charles embark on this daunting voyage aboard his steamship, aiming to reclaim humanity's past glory. Together with his crew, they sought a way out of this hidden sea world, a path back to the sunlit world above, where humans once stood tall.

=========================================

I read a few comments from Chinese readers that compared this novel with Lord of Mysteries because of similar elements: Lovecraftian, western fantasy, first industrial revolution, and steampunk. However, I have yet to finish reading Lord of Mysteries to do any actual comparison, but I do think those who have enjoyed that novel would enjoy this as well. Also, the author of LotM, Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, also did a shout-out for this novel, so I guess he approves of it too?

Lucien was chosen by the God of Gamblers to participate in the Heaven’s Gate Project. Their goal was to help save a dying world from destruction, and ensure that it wouldn’t be destroyed a second time.

Unfortunately, things didn’t go according to the God's plan. Lucien’s soul was heavily injured during the soul transfer and on the verge of collapse. Having no other alternative, the God of Gamblers was forced to take yet another gamble to preserve his chosen candidate’s soul and help him find a new vessel.

As if arranged by Fate itself, Lucien’s soul wandered into the world of Solais until it merged with the dead body of a newborn baby that was left to float down a river. With his new identity as Lux, the boy realized that even with the blessings given to him by the Gods, saving a world was not an easy matter.

In a world of Swords and Magic, where adventures run wild and free… the Legendary Saga of an abandoned Prince is about to begin!

Ye Youqing was originally a big boss in the business world. Who would have known that he died one day and dressed as an abusive female protagonist who was pushed to the ground by the male protagonist.
The female protagonist, as the direct daughter of the imperial government, married the male protagonist, was abused every day, and finally ended up in ruins.
Ye Youqing: …I don’t want any money, are you human?
So, she killed the male protagonist, seized the family wealth, fought against the concubine mother, and also picked up the vicious female partner who was her enemy and pestered the male protagonist and threw it out of the door.
Unexpectedly, the vicious female partner of the fox spirit in the original book, who did not know which string was tied, turned to lie down in her room.
The woman is charming and seductive, leaning her soft body into her arms, exhaling like blue: “I want revenge, I want to make a deal with you.”
Ye Youqing was expressionless, stretched out her index finger and pushed her away.
“I want to trade with money.”
“As for anything else, that’s another price.”

As an abuse article that abused the heroine, Ye Youqing felt that the direction of the story was a bit wrong.
For example, the vicious female partner who should fall into the water with her and was rescued ashore by the male lead not only fell into the water for her, but also drilled into her arms wetly.
For example, the vicious female partner who should hook up the male protagonist on her wedding night not only ignores the male protagonist, but also falls drunk in her room with messy clothes.
For example, the vicious female partner who should hate her to the bone, one day sat on her couch wearing a wedding dress, winked like silk, and opened her lips with tears: “Ye Youqing, please.”

Ci Ke was slaughtered by the male protagonist since he was a child.
She thought Ye Youqing was an idiot who only thought about men, she thought she hated her to the bone.
Unexpectedly, later, she found that she was very smart, and found that she loved her deeply.
