Not hate. Not quite. Just... something they can’t name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I swirl the two glasses in my hands, watching the soft fizz rise to the top. Just a light mixer—harmless, technically. Nothing illegal, just a carefully dosed cocktail of serotonin boosters and social lubricants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kind of thing that gently lowers inhibitions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Makes buried thoughts just a little easier to say out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past couple of months, I’ve gotten closer to them. It was hard work. But CEO Han upped the reward, and I’m never one to say no to a better prize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My original goal was simple—cause immense jealousy and hatred until none of the women could accept each other’s presence in Jiang Wei’s life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shattered harem. That would’ve been satisfying enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then Jiang Wei did something stupid. I don’t know what, but he pissed off CEO Hanbad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She changed the plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She doesn’t want a petty ending. She wants a lifelong one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A punishment that sticks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shudder a little. If it had been anyone else, it would’ve been impossible. Who on earth could cultivate romantic feelings between two straight women?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Icould.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve not just maneuvered through men to get to where I am—I’ve gone through women too. Conservative women. Privileged women. Guarded, closeted, ambitious women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Women like the heiress. Women like Lin Meyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’re not exceptions. Just puzzles waiting for the right hand to solve them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I head to the living room with the tray of drinks. On the TV, a film plays—one I carefully selected. An award-winning story about a wife who, in trying to understand her husband’s mistress, falls for her instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s subtle. Thoughtful. Queer-coded enough to stir something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Drinks?\" I say sweetly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both glance up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Meyu accepts hers with a nod. The heiress takes her glass distractedly, her eyes glued to the screen. I curl into a chair across from them, casual, quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is where it all begins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve spent months pushing them together. Little nudges. Carefully timed silences. Innocent compliments that weren’t really that innocent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Lin Meyu:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s so elegant, isn’t she? I don’t know about men in power, but women in power... they have a certain kind of charm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the heiress:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You and Meyu have such good chemistry. One would think you guys have actually been together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’d say it like a joke. Tossed offhand, light, harmless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But poison works best in small doses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My ascent through this industry wasn’t fueled only by whispered promises in hotel rooms—it was built on adaptability, survival, and the willingness to become whatever I needed to be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now I need to be the match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heiress was the easiest. When I first met her, she was a spoiled little daddy’s girl, so obsessed with male attention she practically cried when Jiang Wei looked at someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I introduced her to CEO Han, and she began to change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Power does something to women—it grounds them. Sharpens them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She found confidence in something other than her beauty, and once that happened, everything else fell into place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her company is flourishing. She’s flourishing. She doesn’t need a man anymore to feel important. But she still wants to win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Lin Meyu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Meyu was trickier. She still believed in morality. Romance. Reputation. And was conservative beliefs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until she didn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a few weeks ago, she cornered me in a dressing room and asked, half whispering:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you always get the roles you want? Is it true what they say about you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of it is true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really? How can you...?\" She’d wrung her hands. \"I’m not judging or anything, but some of the men... I don’t know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m talented and beautiful, but I’m also an orphan with no connections,\" I had whispered, leaning in. \"I do what I must to survive. And who said anything about men?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes had widened, lips parting as realization sank in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides,\" I added, tapping her lightly on the nose, \"you happen to know someone who could pull your strings too. All you have to do is bat your pretty lashes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d gone red to the ears and looked away, stammering some nonsense about professionalism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a month later?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was suddenly the brand ambassador for a brand under a certain woman’s subsidiarity company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now I sit back, watching the two of them on the couch. Red-cheeked. Faces turned toward each other just a little too often. Limbs a little too relaxed, their bodies angled like flowers leaning into sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t interrupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, I open my phone and pretend to scroll, murmuring something about taking a call. I leave the drinks tray behind, untouched. They won’t even notice I’m gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I step out into the hall and walk away without a backward glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Will they? Won’t they?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I bet at the very least there’ll be a kiss. If I’m unlucky, maybe just an attempted one. Either way, it’s progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I skip down the hallway toward Jiang Wei’s suite, humming a cheerful little tune. The kind that belongs to someone who just pulled off something brilliant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would’ve thought? Not me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A girl like me—with no name, no powerful background, just good looks and sharper instincts—will soon owns shares in a company. Real shares. Three percent may not sound like much to people born into wealth, but to me? It’s everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the mall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An entire mall under my name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the promise from CEO Han, and she’s not one to give out rewards lightly. But I’m definitely going to deliver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Funny. I always thought I’d have to marry some old billionaire to get here. Suffer through gross dinner parties, deal with sweaty hands on my waist, and have a messy inheritance battle with his wife and kids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But nope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight, I’m feeling generous. Giddy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I’m going to give Jiang Wei my best performance yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He won’t even know what hit him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all—I’m in such a good mood.\u003C\u002Fp>",1040,"2026-06-09T07:29:29.584Z",1,"novelbin.me","4df7218d7da43d63faffccdbe2f56744603356af8e00dc45de2dfbf77f707f9e","qt-i-hijacked-a-harem-system-and-now-i-m-ruining-chapter-57","qt-i-hijacked-a-harem-system-and-now-i-m-ruining-chapter-55",399,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fqt-i-hijacked-a-harem-system-and-now-i-m-ruining-cover.jpg"]
