Chapter1
I was a top-tier succubus,
but because my professional skills were too strong, wrecking my clients' bodies and minds,
I received a total of one hundred negative reviews.
Ultimately achieving a one hundred percent return rate, I was terminated by the Creator.
When I opened my eyes again, I had become the real daughter in a fake-heiress novel, sent to participate in the lottery game of Manhattan's Upper East Side heir, Adrian Ashford IV.
Rumors said Adrian had an insatiable appetite,
legendary sexual prowess,
and that none of his previous girlfriends survived unscathed—dead or damaged.
When the fake heiress Victoria Sterling was selected,
she cried and screamed, unwilling to go,
and her doting parents couldn't bear it,
so they decisively sent me, the real daughter who had just returned home, to replace her.
At this moment, a hundred women trembled beneath the stage,
Adrian reached his hand into the lottery box,
a sinister smile appearing on his face,
"Let's see which of you is lucky enough to become my new girlfriend."
Everyone lowered their heads, covering their faces,
terrified of being chosen.
But the moment I laid eyes on this man radiating masculine energy,
my eyes lit up like fireworks.
This was pure nourishment for a succubus like me!
I jumped up excitedly,
in a sing-song voice shouting,
"Me, me, me! Pick me!"
***
The women beside me turned pale with fright,
covering my mouth with their hands,
their voices low and urgent,
"Are you crazy? Don't drag us down with you!"
Before I could respond,
they had already clasped their hands together,
murmuring under their breaths,
"Don't pick me, don't pick me, please."
Adrian was tall and slender,
his face icy enough to freeze hell over.
He leisurely swept his gaze over the trembling crowd below,
a layer of obvious hostility rising in his eyes.
He didn't waste words, casually drawing a slip from the lottery box,
glancing at it, he drawled,
"Number 34."
I looked down at my own number tag,
43.
Damn, didn't win.
Instantly, a collective sigh of relief swept through the surroundings,
someone even couldn't help
letting out a small sob,
immediately covering their mouth again, afraid of being heard.
Only that selected woman, Number 34,
as if doused from head to toe in ice water,
her face turned deathly pale,
unable to utter a single word,
her entire body collapsing to the ground.
Adrian walked up to the woman,
looking down at her from above,
slightly bending down,
"Come with me, girlfriend."
The woman completely broke down.
She frantically scrambled backward, kicking at the floor with hands and feet,
tears and snot streaming down her face,
"I don't want to, I don't want to! You're a devil!"
"No one survives three days as your girlfriend, I don't want to die!"
The air instantly froze,
everyone watching her in horror,
Adrian's smile disappearing bit by bit.
He looked at the woman crying uncontrollably on the ground,
the hostility in his eyes almost solidifying,
so intense it was suffocating.
Then he suddenly laughed,
"Fine."
He squatted down, meeting the woman's eyes levelly,
"If you don't want to be my girlfriend, that's fine too."
The woman jerked her head up,
hope bursting in her eyes.
Adrian stood up, leisurely sweeping his gaze around everyone present,
he hooked up the corner of his mouth,
"As long as you can find someone among the remaining women willing to take your place, I'll let you go."
The woman turned desperately, looking at the surrounding crowd,
her gaze pleading across one familiar face after another.
But everyone uniformly lowered their heads,
wishing they could shrink into a ball.
The light in the woman's eyes completely died.
Adrian watched this scene, a flash of boredom crossing his eyes.
"Seems no one is willing to replace you."
He raised his hand to adjust his cuff, his tone indifferent,
"Take her away."
Two men in black stepped forward, lifting the collapsed woman from both sides.
The hall was terrifyingly quiet, everyone holding their breath,
terrified that they would be next.
Just as the woman was about to be dragged out of the hall,
a voice suddenly rang out,
carrying a hint of eager excitement,
"Wait, I'm willing!"
Chapter2
I hadn't been selected,
and I was still sighing in disappointment when—
unexpectedly—luck this good fell right into my lap.
I was so excited I nearly popped my tail out on the spot.
That woman looked like she had seen a guardian angel,
scrambling and crawling to rush before me,
removing her number tag,
stuffing it into my hand without a word.
Then as if the devil was at her heels,
she dashed back into the crowd,
not even daring to look back.
Adrian looked me up and down,
a playful sneer hanging at the corner of his mouth,
"From the Sterling family?"
"This is the first time I've seen someone volunteer. Let me be clear—even if you regret it now, it's too late."
I quickly waved my hand, looking at him with complete sincerity,
"I won't regret it!"
I was telling the truth.
After crossing over,
I still retained my succubus constitution,
recently my heat was approaching,
worrying about what to do,
when I encountered such a premium-grade man.
I couldn't help looking at him again,
more satisfied the more I looked.
This face, this body,
plus that cold and feral aura all over him,
was simply a five-star feast on a succubus's menu.
I mentally high-fived myself,
worth it, jackpot.
Perhaps my gaze was too intense,
Adrian couldn't help stepping back,
his face cold as he said,
"Since you won't regret it, come with me, girlfriend."
I happily stepped forward in one stride,
directly linking my arm through his,
"Okay, boyfriend."
Adrian's body visibly stiffened,
instinctively trying to pull his hand back.
But I held on tight, he actually couldn't break free,
he lowered his head to look at me,
about to speak,
when suddenly his gaze moved downward,
landing on my clothes.
This outfit was prepared by the Sterling family,
they had hurriedly recognized me back,
with no time to buy me proper clothes,
directly making me wear Victoria Sterling's clothes.
Adrian stared at this obviously too-small outfit on me,
his breathing growing rapid,
"You, the Sterling family's young lady, can't even afford properly fitting clothes?"
I looked down at my barely contained curves,
pouting,
in my previous life I wore leather harnesses and fishnets,
this outfit was much more conservative.
I remembered when the Sterling family first brought me back,
Victoria had smiled, taken my hand, and looked completely innocent.
"These are all clothes I don't like, throwing them away would be wasteful, so I'll give them to sister."
"Sister, you won't mind, right?"
I excitedly grasped her hand,
"It's fine, although the clothes are a bit small—probably because you were underdeveloped, sister—but they fit me perfectly, highlighting my hourglass figure."
Victoria said nothing, turned and left in anger.
I answered Adrian cheerfully,
"Wow, your eyes are too sharp, I'm wearing my sister's clothes."
Adrian frowned,
"Sister?"
A man in black stepped forward,
whispering to Adrian,
"Mr. Ashford, Miss Seraphina Blackwood is the Sterling family's recently returned real daughter."
"Originally you selected Miss Victoria Sterling, but the Sterling family used her status as an adopted daughter to temporarily change the selection."
After hearing this, Adrian suddenly understood,
"The Sterling family is quite interesting."
"They don't favor their biological daughter, instead favoring an adopted daughter......"
He glanced at me,
seeing me still standing there,
smiling carefree,
he turned his head speechlessly,
then said in an icy tone,
"Pass the word."
"Since the Sterling family is so poor they can't even afford clothes."
"Then presumably those major contracts they hold, they don't have the capacity to keep either."
Chapter3
The man in black understood perfectly, silently retreating.
Adrian looked at me expressionlessly, dropping one word,
"Let's go."
"Where to?"
I blinked.
"To buy clothes."
His tone was icy, as if very impatient,
"I don't want my chosen girlfriend to not even have properly fitting clothes."
I was incredibly touched, rising on my tiptoes,
planting a loud kiss on his cheek, audible throughout the entire hall.
"You're so good, I like you the most."
Adrian's whole body stiffened,
his ear tips reddening at a visible speed,
yet he pushed me away,
"Don't think too much, I just don't want to embarrass myself!"
Adrian took me to the city's most expensive luxury department store, Bergdorf Goodman,
in the vast store,
a row of sales associates stood neatly, not daring to breathe.
Until I walked out wearing a black slip dress,
the fitted design outlining perfect curves.
The entire venue instantly fell silent,
the sales associates collectively gasping.
I stepped out in stilettos,
spinning triumphantly before Adrian,
looking up at him, my smile crinkling my eyes,
"Do I look good?"
Adrian was looking at me, his eyes showing appreciation, his Adam's apple slightly bobbing.
But he quickly looked away, saying expressionlessly,
"It's passable."
"The others don't need trying, wrap them all up."
He waved his hand, his tone indifferent.
I hugged that pile of clothes blissfully,
"Thank you, boyfriend!"
Adrian suddenly pushed me into the fitting room.
Before I could react,
one hand pressed against the wall beside my ear,
encircling me entirely in his embrace.
He was more than half a head taller than me,
looking down at me from above,
the air suddenly growing tense,
he lowered his head, his voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible danger,
"Since you want to thank me, shouldn't you show some sincerity?"
I froze for a moment.
Seeing my reaction, his eyes darkened,
the corner of his mouth slightly dipping,
his tone gaining a chill he himself didn't notice,
"What, when you said you liked me just now, was it all fake?"
"You're not going to start struggling and begging for mercy like those other women..."
I wrapped my arms around him,
looking at him with eyes
like a starving wolf spotting meat.
"Wonderful!!!"
I said while starting to unbutton his clothes.
"You're truly too good, buying me clothes, and now giving me a reward!!"
Adrian was completely stunned.
My fingers were incredibly nimble,
quickly undoing two of his buttons in three moves,
about to explore deeper,
"Enough!"
He grabbed my hand, his ear tips red enough to drip blood,
he abruptly stepped back,
frantically pulling open the fitting room door.
"I have matters to attend to."
Dropping these words, he left without looking back.
I stood in the fitting room, completely baffled.
It hadn't even started, why did he run?
I had no choice but to return to the Sterling family myself.
The moment I pushed open the door, the voices in the living room instantly ceased.
The Sterling family sat on the sofa, seeing me enter,
their eyes showing understanding,
they probably thought I hadn't been selected by Adrian.
"You're back?"
Margaret Sterling glanced at me lightly, not a word of concern.
I didn't mind, anyway I hadn't expected much warmth from them.
Rather, Robert Sterling's expression wasn't good, frowning as he sat in the main seat,
looking thoroughly troubled.
It turned out the Sterling family had mysteriously lost several major contracts,
everyone was running around in circles anxious,
yet they couldn't even find out the reason.
Victoria sat obediently to the side,
linking arms with Margaret, the picture of a caring daughter,
"Dad, Mom, losing those major contracts must be hard on you."
"I'm willing to help the family, cut expenses."
Margaret patted her hand with distressed affection,
"Good child, it pains you to have such consideration."
But Victoria added, her tone carrying some difficulty,
"However, I got qualification for the state ballet competition, the training might need a large sum, and the diet must also be carefully managed..."
Robert immediately waved his hand, his attitude doing a complete one-eighty,
"Your expenses don't need cutting, spend what you should, focus on your dance training."
Victoria smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Dad."
"But then, where do we cut expenses?"
Everyone's gaze uniformly turned to me.
Margaret looked me up and down,
"After you returned, just make do in the servant's quarters, food and lodging at servant standards, save the family some money."
Victoria immediately showed an expression of distress, her voice soft and weak,
"Isn't this bad? How about I give my room to sister?"
"No need!"
Margaret quickly pulled her back,
"You have your competition soon, of course you need good accommodations."
Then she turned to me, her gaze growing severe,
"Seraphina, don't push your luck, you've always lived hard times, servant treatment is already good enough, don't be ungrateful."
Robert also nodded with a stern face,
"Your sister is kind-hearted, don't eye her room."
I looked at this family, finding it rather interesting.
Clearly they were the ones who proposed stuffing me into the servant's quarters,
yet in the end it became me coveting my sister's room.
But before I could speak,
sudden commotion came from outside.
"Master, Madam, the Ashfords, the Ashfords are here!"
Adrian strode in.
Two bodyguards followed behind,
carrying large and small bags in their hands.
Robert bent over ingratiatingly to greet him, his voice trembling,
"Mr. Ashford, Mr. Ashford, why have you come? Please sit."
Adrian didn't even glance at him.
He walked straight toward me.
The Sterling family exchanged bewildered glances, completely confused.
Adrian walked to my side,
looking at that exquisitely decorated room not far away,
that was Victoria's room.
He slightly raised an eyebrow,
"Is this your room?"
"This room..." he paused, seeming to search for words,
"a bit small, but passable."
He turned to the bodyguard behind him,
"Put the clothes in."
The man responded,
carrying those large luxury shopping bags,
about to walk into Victoria's room.
Victoria's face instantly changed,
yet she didn't dare utter a word.
"Wait, this isn't my room."
Everyone looked at me.
I pointed at that small, dim servant's quarters in the corner,
"You're mistaken."
"This one is mine."
Chapter4
"That one is my sister's."
I explained sincerely,
"The family has been short of money lately, said to put me in servant's quarters to save expenses."
"I appreciate your kindness, but that room is too small, the clothes you bought me won't fit, better take them all back."
Adrian's face instantly darkened.
He turned his head, his gaze sweeping over the Sterling family like knives,
his voice icy enough to freeze hell over,
"This is how the Sterling family treats my girlfriend?"
Robert opened his mouth, not yet able to explain,
when Adrian added,
"Or perhaps, you're looking down on me? Seems losing a few contracts wasn't lesson enough."
Robert's face turned pale, his legs going soft nearly collapsing.
Margaret's lips trembled, unable to utter a word.
Victoria shrank in the corner, not even daring to breathe loudly.
The entire Sterling family trembled.
Adrian paid them no more attention,
his gaze sweeping around the mansion,
finally landing on the master bedroom,
that was Robert's room,
the largest in the house, with the best lighting.
He raised his hand pointing, his tone brooking no argument,
"This one is the largest, she'll stay here."
Robert opened his mouth, looking like he'd just lost his life savings, yet not a word of refusal.
And so, under the Sterling family's resentful, dagger-like stares,
the once-dignified master bedroom was forcibly stuffed with pink curtains, floral sheets, a lace dressing table, and bows and stuffed toys everywhere.
my clothes hung up piece by piece,
filling three entire wardrobes.
Robert's expression looked like he had swallowed a live frog.
After Adrian left,
the Sterling family atmosphere subtly changed.
Robert began attempting to repair relations with me.
"Little Snow, whatever you need just say."
"However, being selected as Mr. Ashford's girlfriend, why didn't you say so at first?"
Before I could answer,
Victoria cut in with a bright smile,
"Mom, Dad, you forgot, being the heir's girlfriend isn't a good thing."
Her gaze lingered on my slender arms,
"Sister is skin and bones, how could she handle the heir, I heard those other women ended up terribly... perhaps sister is heartbroken, that's why she didn't say."
She paused, then covered her mouth giggling,
a flash of barely perceptible malice in her eyes,
"Oh, sorry, I spoke too much, sister don't take it to heart, perhaps you won't end up like that."
I fell into thought,
originally I planned to devour Adrian completely at first opportunity,
but thinking carefully,
he didn't look particularly robust,
what if when I...
he couldn't survive a few days?
No, no.
This time finally encountering such premium-grade goods,
I couldn't play him to ruin,
had to wait a bit longer.
And Robert, hearing Victoria's words, his gaze toward me changed again.
They thought I was a short-lived ghost who wouldn't survive a few days,
although they didn't dare openly offend me due to the heir's face,
their attitude clearly cooled again.
I didn't go out for three whole days.
But as my heat grew closer,
like a fire burning in my body,
I increasingly felt I couldn't control myself.
What I didn't know was,
someone was quietly planning a conspiracy in the shadows.
When I once again made excuses to refuse meeting Adrian,
Victoria approached Adrian,
her eye rims red, looking as if she wanted to speak but hesitated,
"Mr. Ashford, there's something I don't know if I should say. My sister, she's actually been acting all along."
She pulled out a phone, opening a video.
In the video was Seraphina from before being sent to the Lottery that day,
before I had crossed over,
she was crying hoarsely,
kneeling on the ground begging the Sterling family to spare her.
"Sister never wanted to go."
Victoria's voice was soft, yet each word cut like knives,
"She was so good to you before, it was all an act. She just wants to survive, wants to make you happy, so she can live a few more days."
Adrian stared at the screen, saying nothing.
Victoria continued,
"I know I shouldn't say this, but I don't want to see you kept in the dark."
She didn't finish,
Adrian smashed the phone to the ground,
"Delete the video completely, don't let me see it again."
Finished speaking he rose and left,
the door slamming shut behind him,
a sinister smile appeared on Victoria's face...
At this moment,
my heat was driving me mad,
like ten thousand ants crawling in my body,
burning until my whole body trembled.
Then the door was kicked open,
Adrian stood in the doorway, his face clouded over,
rage and hostility churning in his eyes,
like a beast provoked to fury.
He walked in step by step, his voice cold as if from hell,
"So you've been acting all along, deceiving me, you're just like those other women, treating me like a monster!"
He grabbed my throat,
I looked up at him,
the string in my mind struggling to restrain instinct,
instantly snapped.
Chapter5
"Those who dare deceive me, I won't let go..."
"Mmm..."
Before he finished speaking,
I had already kissed him,
pressing him heavily beneath me.
"What are you doing!"
Adrian's roar hadn't even landed,
his clothes were already stripped clean by me.
Then I froze.
I looked down at his extraordinary endowment and froze on the spot.
This was his "capital"?
And I'd been worried he wouldn't last a few days?
Seeing my stunned expression,
a flash of hurt passed through his eyes,
he sneered,
"What, now you know fear?"
Fear?
My eyes instantly lit up, greener than a wolf in the night.
"What fear!"
With a howl I pounced again,
"You should have said so earlier!!!"
Adrian stumbled back two steps from my pounce,
his lower back slamming into the corner of the table.
He let out a pained grunt.
but before he could get angry,
his mouth was already sealed by mine.
...
After eating my fill, I nestled contentedly in the corner of the bed,
too lazy to even move my fingers.
Then a wave of guilt slowly rose.
In my previous life, every time after feeding,
the other party would find various reasons to give negative reviews and returns the next day.
This time...
I secretly glanced at Adrian beside me,
he was leaning against the headboard, staring at me with an unfriendly expression,
his complexion indeed didn't look good.
Done for, done for.
I was silently mourning for myself in my heart, when Adrian suddenly spoke,
his tone deliberately fierce, as if trying to regain face,
"I'll wear you out eventually."
I froze for a moment.
Wear me out?
There's such good fortune?
My eyes lit up again...
Thus we tangled for three days and three nights.
On the fourth morning, Adrian leaned against the headboard,
his hair a mess, dark circles under his eyes,
his whole person looking like death warmed over.
He stared at the ceiling expressionlessly, silent for a long time.
"Move in with me from now on."
I blinked,
"Huh?"
"Don't talk nonsense."
He turned his head away, his ear tips red as cooked shrimp,
"Pack your things, move today."
I happily returned to the Sterling family,
preparing to pack and move.
The moment I pushed open the door, something felt off.
The house was eerily quiet,
the servants seeing me, their eyes widening as they retreated repeatedly,
I didn't pay much attention, walking straight to my room,
pushing open the door, I froze,
the room was completely empty,
my clothes, my shoes,
all my things were gone.
The entire room had been restored to its original state.
I stood in the doorway, not yet reacting,
when suddenly a scream came from behind,
"Ghost!!!"
Victoria stood at the end of the hallway, her face deathly pale,
pointing at me, her whole body shaking like a sieve,
"You, are you human or ghost?!"
