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!

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

The government was reluctant to sell the land to the Li Corporation, discontented with the meager offer they proposed.

Initially, it was anticipated that at least eight real estate companies would bid for the plot.

The more competitors in the race, the higher the land price would naturally soar.

Unfortunately, two of the Li Corporation's strongest competitors encountered severe setbacks within a month.

One suffered a financial crisis, struggling even to survive, let alone acquiring new property.

The other was mired in internal conflicts, split into two opposing factions.

Though the final sale price exceeded the bidding price by over a hundred million, this fell far short of the usual two to three hundred million margin seen in similar cases.

In essence, the Li Corporation managed to secure an exceptional bargain.

The higher-ups, however, were not pleased with the paltry revenue from such a premium plot.
