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

This hastily arranged gathering dissolved within an hour.

Though no one showed overt dissatisfaction, Xie Chengyuan still made it a point to toast each guest individually, offering sincere apologies.

On their way back from the hotel, Ren Jiao noticed that Xie Chengyuan seemed visibly displeased. In truth, his mood had been sour even before they left the house that day.

Ren Jiao felt a mix of grievance and indignation.

Over the years since marrying Xie Chengyuan, aside from material comfort, she had gained little to nothing in terms of emotional fulfillment.

Xie Chengyuan had never allowed her to attend formal events as Mrs. Xie. The Xie family elders disdained her, and Xie Chengyuan never defended her in front of them.

In the Xie household, Ren Jiao was practically invisible.

Deep down, she knew why the Xie family looked down on her—her humble origins and the unsavory means by which she had climbed into Xie Chengyuan's bed.
