[Everyone’s a Villain | The Ambitious One]

[Reader’s Guide]

⑴ A female protagonist with low moral standards and a villainous streak.

⑵ The male lead is not the female lead’s first; her romantic preferences are twisted.

⑶ An ensemble cast; the story focuses 80% on career development and 20% on romance.

⑷ This is not a story about female solidarity; it is a dark, realistic tale.

 

1. As the most prestigious aristocratic family in the capital, every move the Zhong family makes captures the public’s attention.

Among the topics most widely discussed is, of course, the identity of the next heir.

Some speculate it will be the eldest son, Zhong Mingjue. He is a strong-willed man and the undisputed heir.

Others speculate it will be the second son, Zhong Linchen. He is refined and easygoing, possessing the gentlemanly demeanor befitting a member of a prominent family.

Still others say that Zhong Nianxi, the eldest daughter of the Zhong family, is exceptionally capable and should also have a claim to the inheritance.

And some even suggest that the youngest son, Zhong Shiyin, is biding his time, and may well emerge as the ultimate winner.

An invisible tension permeates every corner of the Zhong household.

Even within the company, employees are taking sides.

But no matter who it is, no one dares to reveal their ambitions openly until victory is assured.

2. To win this battle for the inheritance, several of them have simultaneously set their sights on the elderly Mr. Zhong’s secretary.

A dull woman who always wears black, white, or gray business suits and never takes off her black-rimmed glasses: Gao Haizhen.

Having been by Zhong Shicheng’s side for eight years— At work, Gao Haizhen was his most capable right-hand woman; In his personal life, the old patriarch treated her almost like a daughter.

Yet, Secretary Gao had never expressed an opinion on the matter of the heir, nor had she ever taken sides.

But this also meant that anyone could win her over to their side.

So, they began to tempt her and put on a show.

They stopped at nothing—until they were utterly defeated.
