Pengantar
**A Binding Contract, A Million-Dollar Ransom—She Became the Devil CEO’s Personal Attendant!** Once a pampered heiress, now a puppet on strings. The ruthless tycoon torments her at every turn, forcing her to bear his heir—all to exact vengeance on her family?! Trapped in a den of wolves, she masters seduction, barters her allure, and vows to uncover the mastermind pulling the strings of her fate… --- **Key Translation Choices:** 1. **Cultural Adaptation:** - "恶魔总裁" → "Devil CEO" (retains the menacing authority while sounding natural in English corporate contexts). - "提线玩偶" → "puppet on strings" (evokes the same helplessness without literal translation). - "学媚术,献香汗" → "masters seduction, barters her allure" (conveys the strategic use of charm without overly exotic phrasing). 2. **Rhythm & Tone:** - Short, punchy sentences mirror the original’s dramatic flair. - Exclamation marks and italics heighten the emotional stakes. 3. **Character Nuance:** - "誓要查清" → "vows to uncover" (stronger agency than "swears to investigate"). - "折磨她" → "torments her at every turn" (adds visceral impact). 4. **Paragraph Flow:** - Split into three blocks for readability: hook, context, and escalating tension. **Why This Works:** The translation captures the novel’s over-the-top melodrama while ensuring clarity for English readers. Terms like "heir" and "vengeance" signal the tropes of contract romance/revenge plots, and the omitted idioms (e.g., "逃狼窝") are distilled into the visceral "den of wolves."

Her honey-toned, slender waist swayed, causing the ornaments on the headboard to jingle softly.

Li Na leaned in, attempting to kiss the mesmerizing face of the man before her. His features were simply breathtaking!

The man’s thin lips curved into a faint smile, his deep, dark eyes flickering with an inscrutable emotion that made it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Li Na’s own face was delicate and charming, her eyes like pools of spring water, the kind that could drive any man wild with desire.

Yet, he remained unnervingly calm. His gaze held no trace of infatuation, only the detached responses of instinct.

Li Na felt herself falling deeper. She had never encountered a man so handsome, so wealthy, so utterly captivating.

“Ring, ring, ring…” A sharp, insistent phone call shattered the moment.

The man’s body stiffened slightly. Li Na’s eyes flashed with irritation, though she dared not show it. She had finally gotten close to this godlike figure, and now the moment was ruined. Forcing a soft smile, she waited patiently.

The man seemed reluctant to answer the call, and Li Na’s expression brightened with hope.

“Ring, ring, ring…” The phone persisted, relentless.

The man’s dark eyes turned icy as he finally picked up. “Give me one good reason not to fire you,” he snapped, his voice low and dangerous.

He despised interruptions at times like this.

“Young Master, the special performance—it’s begun!” The voice on the other end was tense, almost panicked.

“Who’s performing?!”

“The woman, Young Master. The woman you’ve been waiting for!”

The man’s expression shifted, a faint smile suddenly deepening, his eyes alight with amusement.

He hung up the phone and slowly rose to his feet.

"Um, young master, where... are you going?" Li Na pouted her crimson lips innocently, asking cautiously. Despite the raging fury in her heart, she dared not show a hint of it on her face.

The man remained silent, calmly putting on his clothes.

Watching him about to leave, Li Na's face showed anxiety as she softly called out, "Young master..."

"The role of the third female lead is yours," the man said as he tied his tie, his voice calm and rational. It didn't sound like comfort but more like a warning.

Li Na was stunned for a moment before quickly reacting, "Not the first female lead?"

The man's face was icy as he finished preparing in a matter of moments. His slender hand grasped the cold handle of the door, and he said indifferently, "You... are only worth this much!"

The most exclusive diamond room in "Nightfall" was reserved only for guests with a net worth of over a hundred million.

Here, the filthiest games were played every day.

Behind the stage, Su Wan's hands were tightly bound behind her back.

Her mouth was stuffed with something strange, and the forcibly administered drug seemed to be taking effect!

She was placed in a dimly lit small room, sitting on the floor with her legs bent. Her porcelain-like cheeks were devoid of any color, and her body was trembling.

Her clear eyes were streaked with red, as if she had just been crying. Her eyebrows were long and delicate, her features enchanting, but her expression was filled with too much sorrow and fear, losing its original clarity.

She was beautiful, like a sprite in the night. Her pearly teeth lightly bit her crimson lips, and her eyes, under the influence of the drug, gradually became hazy.

She was so thirsty, her body felt like it was in a blazing furnace, the flames threatening to consume her completely.

She shook her head, trying to hold on to a shred of清醒的意识. Just then, she heard someone on the stage shout, "The show begins—"

Her heart skipped a beat.

The show had started, so who would take her... and the other innocent girls away? It was said that only ten guests could come here each day!

The young girls who came here owed "Nightfall" a huge sum of money and had no way to repay it. "Nightfall" arranged for them to "perform," and if a guest took a liking to them, the guest would help them repay the debt and take them away.
