My name was Gideon Cross, and I woke up in a book. As soon as I landed here, I was claimed by the Cross family. But then, I got thrown out. The fake heir who lived my life for eighteen years was way more popular than me. My parents stood by his side, looking at me like I was garbage. "We don't need a deadweight in our family." I nodded, grabbed my shabby bag, and walked away without looking back. [Host, you have voluntarily given up on the cutthroat world of the rich. The Laid-Back System is now activated. Newbie Gift Pack: 30 million in cash.] I looked at the notification on my phone and couldn't help but smile. If anyone wanted this kind of luck, I could hand it over anytime. All I wanted was to find a place, order some takeout, and chill. Just then, a red Ferrari parked right in front of me, blocking my way. The door swung open, and out stepped a pair of impossibly long legs, wrapped in black stockings. Right then, a stunning woman appeared before me, exuding a cold, icy aura. It was Ivy Bennett, the ice-cold CEO from the book, and the fiancée originally meant for the Cross heir. She walked up to me and tossed a document at me. "Sign this, and we're getting married."
