Here's the English translation of the text: "I've become the girlfriend of a domineering CEO who is indifferent to fame and fortune. Next Saturday, the CEO is going to marry the daughter of the second richest president in the world. To prevent me from running away again, he locked me in a 100-square-meter bed. 'Qingqing, if you run away again, I'll break your legs.' 'I only love you; marrying her is just a temporary plan.' 'Two years from now, no matter what, I will marry you officially.' I quickly took his hand, my eyes shining. 'Really?' 'Transfer me one billion, and let's see your sincerity.'"
I, Linda Davison, took a time travel and became a domineering CEO's girlfriend who wasn't interested in money.
Next Saturday, Brennen Willis, my CEO boyfriend was set to marry the daughter of the world's second-richest tycoon.
To prevent me from escaping again, he locked me in a spacious bedroom.
"Linda, if you run again, I'll break your legs."
"The only one I love is you. Marrying her is just a temporary plan."
"In two years, no matter what happened, I'll marry you."
I quickly grabbed his hand, my eyes shining with hope.
"Really?"
"Transfer me a hundred million dollars and see how sincere you are."

I found myself was inside the novel "Dangerous Contract: The CEO's Forced Love, " a story filled with sadistic romance.
I became the pure-faced, kind-hearted, and unambitious heroine.
In the story, I signed a girlfriend contract with the CEO to pay for my mother's medical bills, my father's gambling debts, and my younger sister's education.
I did his laundry, cooked, and cleaned in exchange for compensation.
I refused the diamonds, bags, and necklaces he gave me.
Because I had my pride and believed in earning money through my own efforts.
Over time, I fell in love with him, but only to hear that he was soon to be married.
Heartbroken, I abandoned everything and ran away.
Then it led to a chase where he pursued and I fled, a long and complicated saga.
The whole story was over three million words long.
I stared at my digital wallet on the phone with only 301 dollars left and a long list of escape messages.
I fell silent.
A low-wage worker was dating the world's richest man.
And it was not for his money but for his affection?
That was a blatant disregard for money.
I had no pride, money was something I needed to earn.
I didn't want much, just let me make a few hundred million dollars first.
I placed the girlfriend contract neatly in front of Brennen.
"Mr. Willis, don't you think there's something wrong with this agreement?"
Brennen glanced over it, raising an eyebrow. "What's wrong?"
"It lacks a comprehensive benefits package that employees are entitled to."
"I hope you can clarify this, especially the health insurance."

I smiled, recalling how the original heroine in the book constantly tried to escape, facing life-threatening situations. It turned out that he didn't pay the health insurance for her, no wonder she lived so miserably alone.
"I also hope you can add a clause to the contract stating that both parties' actions must not violate laws or public morals."
"Additionally, the agreement doesn't specify my working hours, making it hard to define overtime pay." Not a minute of unpaid work would I do.
"You, " Brennen stared at me for a few seconds, "you didn't secretly take another job, did you?"
"No."
"I just can't be on call all the time."
The contract stated I was to be at Brennen's beck and call, ready to serve at any moment.
Even if he paid five million for a year, I couldn't work myself to death.
"Fine, but if you need to go out, you have to inform me."
"During weekdays, if something comes up, I'll request leave from you."
After hearing my response, he promptly signed his name on the contract.
"Mr. Willis, there's one more issue. A girlfriend's duties don't include laundry and cooking, right? Shouldn't you compensate me for my labor?"
A hint of impatience flashed across Brennen's face. "Isn't a girlfriend supposed to do laundry and cook for her boyfriend? Otherwise, what am I paying five million for?"
"You should know why I'm worth five million. You're a businessman, so you never make a losing deal."
"Moreover, if a girlfriend is just there to do laundry and cook, then what's the difference between her and a maid? If men seek girlfriends just to find a servant, then what do women seek boyfriends for? To indulge in masochism and serve a domineering figure?"
"Most importantly, Mr. Willis, you're the world's richest man. If people find out your girlfriend is doing maid work at home, what will your business partners think of you? What will your competitors say? They'll wonder if the mighty CEO can't afford a few maids."
"I don't mind doing more work, but I'm mainly concerned about your reputation."
I advised with a worried expression.
Brennen's grim face softened slightly.
"You make a valid point. I'll give you five million, and you won't have to do any cleaning, laundry, or cooking. Don't bring it up again."
I nodded quickly. With the money settled, everything else was negotiable.
Even though he was my boss who wanted me as his girlfriend, I must protect myself regardless of his reasons for doing this, ensuring my contributions are compensated equally.
Otherwise, he'll just take my efforts for granted, comfortably enjoying everything.

At three in the morning, Brennen was brought upstairs by the butler and pushed into my arms.
I supported Brennen, who reeked of alcohol and perfume.
"Linda, I really like you, I truly do."
"I fell for you the moment I saw you. Let's stay together forever, okay?"
His hands cupped my face, his handsome face flushed with the warmth of intoxication.
His gentle gaze was like a deep green lake.
It was both intimidating and inviting.
In the original book, the heroine was at a loss at this moment, overwhelmed by the hero's sweet words, her heart racing.
She believed that a man's drunken words were his true feelings, and that the hero genuinely liked her.

Everything began to derail, and even if she fled to the ends of the earth, she would still be found by him and entangled... *** Phoebe screamed in frustration, "What do you want from me?" What was this supposed to be? He raised an eyebrow wickedly. "What do I want? You'll find out soon enough." With that, he hoisted her up and carried her back into the office. The door slammed shut with a kick, and he cleared the desk with a sweep of his arm before laying her down on it, his body pinning hers in place, completely trapping her in his grasp. Every cell in his body was telling him he wanted her. He wanted to claim her again. This time, there would be no escape for her-he wouldn't let her slip away. Never again.

And what is the secret from 11 years ago that Cecilia has always been reluctant to reveal? *** "She went to a law firm, met with a lawyer..." A lawyer? Is Cecilia suing someone? Who? Is there any recent litigation against the company? Alston suddenly chuckled coldly, "Who could she sue? I'm the CEO of this company. How come such a matter doesn't come to me first?" The assistant swallowed nervously, speaking softly, "Sir, there's no litigation against the company. She met with... a divorce lawyer."
As a simple assistant, messaging the CEO in the dead of night to request shares of adult films was a bold move. Bethany, unsurprisingly, didn't receive any films. However, the CEO responded that, while he had no films to share, he could offer a live demonstration. After a night filled with passion, Bethany was certain she'd lose her job. But instead, her boss proposed, "Marry me. Please consider it." "Mr. Bates, you're kidding me, right?"
