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…

The Spoiled and Malicious Young Miss Awakens

For a brief moment, Ning Jin thought Chi Yu had discovered the truth.

She was so terrified that she stood frozen in place, staring at Chi Yu without moving a muscle.

Chi Yu feigned surprise, "What's wrong? Is that question really that scary?"

Of course, it was terrifying! According to the scapegoat's rules, if the substitute breaks free from the imposed misfortune, the one who benefits will suffer a backlash a hundredfold.

Ning Jin, with trembling hands, grabbed her coffee and took a large gulp, forcing a smile as she tried to appear calm.

"Why are you asking this, miss?"

Chi Yu's eyes never left Ning Jin's face, scrutinizing every subtle expression. "You seem quite nervous. You're sweating a lot."

Instinctively, Ning Jin raised her hand to wipe her forehead while muttering, "It's just a hypothetical, an impossible scenario. I refuse to entertain such thoughts."
