Shen Xi was the daughter the Jiang family had mistakenly taken home. After their real daughter, Jiang Xue, returned, Shen Xi’s foster mother asked Shen Xi to stay, hoping she could help Jiang Xue get used to life in the city as Jiang Xue had been living in the countryside all this while. Alas, everyone claimed that Shen Xi was clinging to the Jiang family because she refused to part with the family’s wealth. Her foster parents didn’t clarify this accusation. Then, Shen Xi’s fiance ended up getting engaged to Jiang Xue instead. 

One day, Jiang Xue killed someone when she was driving. Shen Xi’s foster parents knelt before Shen Xi, begging her to take the fall for Jiang Xue with tears in their eyes. Shen Xi agreed to their request to repay their kindness for raising her. However, she didn’t know that the person Jiang Xue had killed was her foster father, in other words, Shen Xi’s biological father! While Shen Xi was in prison, Jiang Xue even indirectly killed Shen Xi’s biological mother! In an instant, Shen Xi became an orphan. 

After experiencing her foster family’s ruthlessness and persecution, Shen Xi exposed the sinful deeds the Jiang family had committed over the years and Jiang Xue’s crimes after being released from prison! Then, she detonated a bomb, sacrificing her life to take revenge for her biological parents. 

However, after the bomb exploded, Shen Xi was shocked to find herself returning to many years ago when Jiang Xue was first found, and Shen Xi’s identity of not being the Jiang family’s real daughter was about to be exposed. During this time, she was still a rich young lady dressed in expensive clothes as she sat in the Jiang family’s car on the way to her fiance’s birthday banquet. Shen Xi’s lips curled up slightly. A good show was about to begin. 

She wanted to change her fate and her biological parents’ fates. However, she never expected that both her parents were heirs to a large financial group. Also, the renowned movie star, a young genius doctor, and a domineering CEO were all her biological brothers! She, who wasn’t loved in her past life, was being pampered in this life! Then, the paparazzi caught her on camera, entering a hotel with a rumored bigshot. The crowd gasped. Was this bigshot Shen Xi’s brother as well? The bigshot hugged Shen Xi’s waist and kissed her. “Nope. I’m her lover!”

The Wronged Heiress Reborn For Her Crown

Guan Lei heard Shen Xi's voice, his mind drifting to what he had done. Guilt surged like an all-consuming tide, and he could only respond lamely, "I... I fell."

Guan Lei could see the wound he had inflicted from his vantage point on the ground. His heart beat wildly as he avoided looking at Shen Xi altogether.

Bleary eyes blinked, gaining clarity in the dimly lit library. Shen Xi wanted to help Guan Lei and tried to get up, but her legs were numb, having sat in that awkward position for so long. She nearly ended up on the floor beside Guan Lei.

Had it not been for Guan Lei's quick reflexes, pushing the chairs scattered around him away and spreading his arms wide to break her fall, Shen Xi would have collapsed.

At that moment, Guan Lei finally understood what it meant to hold something dear against his bosom.

Shen Xi was grateful for Guan Lei's timely save. She might have hurt herself if he had not caught her.
