Miss Chi Yu of the Chi family has been plagued with misfortune since birth. She has endured car accidents, kidney failure, and experts predicted she wouldn’t live past eighteen. Fortunately, those around her dote on her excessively, indulging her bad temper and pampering her into a spoiled princess.
However, one day she accidentally opens a book and discovers that she is actually an adopted child of the Chi family, meant to serve as a scapegoat for the true heiress, the real Miss Chi born on the same day, month, and year as her.
They elevated her to the clouds, subjected her to public scorn and hatred, all to later declare that the “innocent” girl was the true heiress once she was gone. Desperate to change her fate, Chi Yu finds herself thwarted by a mysterious force—destined to die on her eighteenth birthday.
In her despair, Chi Yu turns dark. If she’s doomed to die a wretched death, then no one else will have a peaceful life!
She becomes increasingly ruthless and arrogant, forcing her deceitful assistant to apologize on his knees and disrupting her uncle’s multi-million-dollar deal. They are furious, enraged, and helpless. If they want the kitchen maid’s daughter to survive, they cannot touch her.
Everyone hates her, except for the newly hired bodyguard who brainlessly defends her to the end. “Miss, you’re spot on, brilliant, and absolutely infuriating!”
Chi Yu: Although he seems a bit foolish, he’s quite endearing, isn’t he?
As her eighteenth birthday approaches and she resigns herself to her grim fate, a prominent family from the capital arrives, claiming their lost daughter…
This is one of those "came to earn a fp and stayed" novels! I thought it was going to be an "incomprehensible spoilt young miss novel" but it's not. She's a fiery intelligent willful girl that has far too much money (and power) at her disposal, but there is nothing spoilt about her at all. Lots of dashing young and not so young men out there too. The only quibble I have is that the villains are incredibly stupid (I refuse to see the uncle as a villain so far - unfair, perhaps, but not a villain, there has to be more to this!!). Well worth the read. Looking forward to reading more!
5 stars ...if there was something more than 5 stars I would have given that. Such gripping story..I really like the feeling of thrill when Fl is surrounded by all kinds of clever villains especially the uncle and how she became unrestrained and more cruel than before to seek revenge now that she knows the "truth". I also like the new 'little worshipper' bodyguard.
Love this! Pleased to find this story doesn't follow the usual trope. Fl is bold & unforgiving. Can't wait to see how her story develops. I'm intrigued. Chefs's kiss. More chapters please!!
