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

The next day, the cruise ship docked.

Chi Yu and Qi Chao were just about to disembark when they saw Mo Ru storming over with fury.

A shadow crossed Qi Chao's eyes. Without a word, he escorted Chi Yu to the gangway and gently fastened the buttons on her coat with great care.

"Xu Xun is already waiting onshore. He'll take you home first," he said.

Chi Yu glanced at Mo Ru behind him, said nothing, and simply nodded before stepping onto the wooden gangplank leading to land.

Mo Ru hadn't slept all night. The more she thought about the earring incident, the angrier she became. She had intended to confront that despicable chef, but her efforts were met with endless evasion and obstruction.

It felt as if everyone on this ship had been bribed. Not a single person treated her with the respect she believed she deserved.

Unable to swallow this indignation, Mo Ru demanded Qi Chao find a way to drag that man out for her.
