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

It was unclear how much time had passed, but Chi Yu stirred. Like a machine being switched on, her eyes flickered, and she came back to life.

Her body, stiff from maintaining the same posture for too long, was numb. She braced herself on the table and slowly rose to her feet.

During the long silence, Chi Yu's rationality gradually returned. She began pacing around the room in her slippers, reflecting on her earlier overreaction downstairs.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that something was off with her; she could only hope Chi He hadn't become suspicious.

Now that she had calmed down, she realized there was no need for such agitation. She held a clear advantage—she knew Wang Ming'an's true identity.

Hidden in the safety of the shadows, she could adapt to whatever moves Chi He made in collaboration with Wang Ming'an, ultimately controlling the entire situation.

From this moment on, the game had officially begun.
