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

Throughout, Chi Yu had maintained a favorable impression of Gu Shiyan.

In his work, he exhibited remarkable capability, and whenever possible, he spent time with his family.

Compared to other middle-aged men of his generation, who sought entertainment or social indulgence in their free time, Gu Shiyan deserved a score of 90 out of 100.

The remaining 10 points were deducted for his lack of boldness and decisiveness.

It was clear that his family sought to bring him down, yet Chi Yu couldn't fathom why Gu Shiyan chose to endure in silence.

What exactly was he hesitating about?

Chi Yu's two visits to the Gu family had both been unpleasant experiences.

Gu Shiyan apologized to Chi Yu, promising that if she disliked it, they would reduce their visits to the main family in the future.

Chi Yu, however, didn't dwell on today's events.

In her eyes, the second branch of the family was pathetically foolish, unworthy of her attention.
