Villainess Counterattack: Earning Money With Gold Digging System
fyaya
A hundred years after a virus wiped out most of the male population, the world rebuilt itself but not fairly. Men are rare. Women are replaceable. Polygamy is law. Medicine is a monopoly owned by the rich.
Lunessa grew up on the losing side. Her father died without treatment. Her mother remarried and disappeared. Now Lunessa raises her younger sister alone, in a society that only values women who are chosen.
When her sister needs an operation she cannot afford, Lunessa realizes kindness won’t save anyone, not in this world. So when she becomes bound to the Gold Digger System, she makes a choice.
She will be the villain if that’s what it takes to save her sister and survive.
The system assigns her missions. Success brings money, medical access, and protection. Failure is not an option.
Her primary target is Julian Hale.
Julian, the CEO of Helios Pharmaceutical, controls the medicine Lunessa needs. A year ago, he survived an accident thanks to a woman who now lies in a coma. Bound by guilt and a promise he refuses to break, Julian keeps her alive and keeps everyone else at a distance.
He should have rejected Lunessa the moment she approached him.
Instead, he hesitates and attracted.
It starts as curiosity. Then discomfort. Then a growing sense that allowing her close may cost him something he’s been clinging to for far too long. Julian tells himself it's a coincidence. Stress. Nothing more.
He has never believed in superstition.
But some choices feel uncomfortably familiar.
Lunessa needs money. Julian wants peace. As the system pushes her deeper into his world, both of them begin to lose control.
In a society built on survival and transactions, even love comes with a price.
