Chapter One: Both Kidneys Snatched!

This is a world brimming with melodrama and exclamations!

Upon awakening from her dream, Su Ruanruan packed her bags overnight and left the Su family.

Just like in those melodramatic TV dramas, she was the true daughter of the Su family, lost for twenty years before finally being found by her relatives—only to discover that the family already had a cherished impostor.

Su Ruanruan worked hard, doing household chores, but nothing could match the few words of the false daughter that would tug at her parents’ hearts and win their affection.

Every day, Su Ruanruan delivered lunch to her eldest brother, only to overhear him say behind her back that he preferred the impostor's cooking.

She performed at events, and when the stage collapsed and she was trapped beneath, her parents and brother rushed to send the impostor—whose arm was merely scratched—to the hospital, completely forgetting about Su Ruanruan’s life or death.

Once, Su Ruanruan couldn’t understand why her parents would neglect their own daughter to dote on someone with no blood relation. She lived in torment and confusion.

But now, everything was clear. She realized she was living inside a novel. The impostor, Su Lan’er, was the heroine of "The Overbearing CEO Falls for His Sweetheart," a girl blessed with luck and adored by all.

In the story, Su Ruanruan’s fiancé fell for the impostor, and her brother became infatuated as well; the two fought fiercely for her attention.

Eventually, when the impostor developed kidney disease, the two reconciled, and Su Ruanruan’s healthy kidney was forcibly taken to save her. When the impostor fell ill again, Su Ruanruan died on the hospital bed.

No one in the entire novel suffered more than Su Ruanruan.

The once lively and cheerful true daughter was reduced step by step to the role of a vicious supporting character, and finally became a living organ bank for the impostor.

“Ruanruan, why are you carrying a suitcase?” came the voice of Mrs. Su from the second floor.

Hearing her, Su Ruanruan hurriedly hefted her luggage into the trunk of the taxi.

“Driver, please, go now!” she urged.

It was as though some evil spirit were chasing her—though the Su family was no spirit, they were worse! When her fiancé and brother wanted to take her kidney, she knelt and knocked her head before her parents, only for them to say: “You have two kidneys. What’s the harm in giving one to Lan’er? One shouldn’t be too selfish.”

Mrs. Su frowned, her tone impatient: “What trick is she playing now?”

The maid replied, “Probably about the stage collapse; everyone was busy caring for Miss Lan’er, so Miss Ruanruan is upset.”

Mrs. Su’s brows knitted tighter. “Lan’er is frail, so of course our priority is to care for her. If Ruanruan wants to leave over such a trivial matter, let her go. She’ll come back when she’s thought it through.”

Top-tier golf course in Hong Kong.

Su Ruanruan, dressed in a white pleated dress, disguised herself as a caddy serving the wealthy elites and slipped inside.

From afar, she spotted the man at the center of attention, elegant and distinguished. Tears of grievance shimmered in her beautiful dark eyes.

In the novel, she actually had one chance to turn her fate around: marrying Gu Jinzhou.

Her school fees had all been covered by the Gu family, and when she came of age, she became Gu Jinzhou’s girlfriend. She was always terrified of Gu Jinzhou’s obsessive possessiveness and controlling nature.

Her phone’s contact list could not contain any other men; he clung to her constantly at home, and monitored her every move outside. He even forbade her to dance or to work, among other things.

After she was reclaimed by the Su family, her parents urged her to break up with Gu Jinzhou, saying he doted on her only to turn her into a useless person. They claimed he forbade her from taking birth control so she’d bear a child, and then he’d keep the child, abandoning her.

Her brother warned that Gu Jinzhou had sinister intentions. Su Lan’er was even more blunt, saying she wasn’t worthy of Gu Jinzhou, that he was only toying with her and would eventually discard her.

Su Ruanruan wiped her tears with the back of her hand. If he were nearby, he would not only wipe her tears, but drop everything to hold and comfort her.

She was so foolish, believing the Su family’s words, breaking things off with Gu Jinzhou, and ultimately losing her life at their hands.

The golf course owner noticed Gu Jinzhou’s unusual demeanor, and followed his gaze.

A very pure and beautiful girl.

Among the clients today was Gu Jinzhou, patriarch of Hong Kong’s elite Gu family, so the owner had arranged for all caddies to be young models and socialites, some even minor celebrities.

Even among the crowd of beauties, Su Ruanruan’s looks and figure stood out—flawless white skin, lively beautiful eyes, and a sensual, graceful body. Every man’s gaze upon her was far from innocent.

The owner snapped his fingers, summoning Su Ruanruan to attend exclusively to Gu Jinzhou.

Nervous, Su Ruanruan approached the tall, handsome man. Gu Jinzhou acted as if he didn’t know her, a smile curling his lips but his eyes were cold and indifferent.

The owner stroked his chin, thinking Gu Jinzhou’s icy demeanor was a bit much—was he actually looking at someone else just now?

Su Ruanruan felt a pang of fear. That expression meant she was in trouble. He’d drag her into the bedroom, discipline her for hours until her throat was hoarse and her calves cramped, and only then might she earn a shred of his pity.

Even so, it was still better than losing a kidney!

Steeling herself, Su Ruanruan pressed herself close to Gu Jinzhou.

The owner raised his eyebrows. He’d heard Gu Jinzhou was aloof and abstinent, indifferent to women—rumor had it he was soon to become a monk.

Clearly the rumors were wrong!

Ha! Gu Jinzhou was fated not for Buddha, but for beauties.

Seeing this, the men exchanged knowing smiles, while the women cast looks of envy and jealousy.

That was the head of the Gu Group, after all. Rumor had it that a single night with him could earn you a manor, a yacht, and guarantee your family’s comfort for three generations!

Su Ruanruan, seeing Gu Jinzhou remain unresponsive, grew increasingly aggrieved, lowering her head more and more.

When she was little, she’d fall asleep on the sofa, and Gu Jinzhou, unwilling to disturb her, would sit quietly by her side, worried she might fall or wake thirsty with no one to care for her.

Gu Jinzhou cherished Ruanruan, holding her in the palm of his hand, afraid he wouldn’t care for his delicate little childhood sweetheart well enough and that heaven would take his treasure away. Back then, Su Ruanruan was the apple of Gu Jinzhou’s eye, his heart and soul—no one could bully or neglect her.

She had never felt so wronged.

Just as everyone expected the cold-faced Gu Jinzhou to push away the girl by his side, Su Ruanruan wrapped her arms around him, burying her face in his chest and sobbing uncontrollably.

“I’m sorry, Gu Jinzhou, I’m sorry… I really wanted to see you one more time.”

In her last moment before death, she thought of Gu Jinzhou.

If he saw her corpse, would Gu Jinzhou grieve for her? Probably not—she’d been foolish enough to leave him.

Su Ruanruan’s face flushed, her forehead hot, and she muttered dazedly, “My heart hurts so much, it really hurts… my kidney hurts even more, Gu Jinzhou, I’m dying from the pain…”

Her arm dropped limply, and as she collapsed, the man caught her waist and drew her into his embrace. A helpless, doting sigh sounded in her ear.
