Zi Yan’s True Identity Resurfaces

Author's Notes: Have some idea about my story? Comment it and let me know.

The scandal had turned against Lin Hao and Xu Ming.

Their downfall had begun.

But Zi Yan wasn't done.

Her battle wasn't just about clearing her name.

It was about taking back what was rightfully hers.

She stared at her reflection in the mirror.

For years, she had lived as an orphan.

A nobody.

She had struggled alone.

But deep inside, something had always felt wrong.

Like she didn't belong in this life.

And now, the truth was finally within her reach.

That morning, Meng Jie burst into Zi Yan's apartment, excitement written all over her face.

"Zi Yan!" she panted, holding up her phone.

"Look at this!"

Zi Yan frowned and took the phone.

It was a news article.

The headline made her heart stop.

"Zi Family Still Searching for Their Long-Lost Heiress."

Zi Yan's fingers tightened around the phone.

She knew about the Zi Family.

One of the richest and most powerful families in the country.

For years, there had been rumors that their heiress had gone missing as a child.

But what did this have to do with her?

She scrolled through the article.

Her heart pounded as she read.

"According to inside sources, the missing heiress was lost during a family trip over twenty years ago.

Despite endless searches, she was never found.

But recent developments suggest she may still be alive."

Zi Yan felt like the ground had disappeared beneath her feet.

"Zi Yan," Meng Jie said carefully.

"There's more."

She took back the phone and pulled up another image.

It was a childhood photo of the lost heiress.

A little girl, around five years old, with big, bright eyes.

Zi Yan's body turned cold.

The girl in the picture…

Looked exactly like her.

Zi Yan couldn't think.

She couldn't breathe.

Could this really be true?

Had she spent her whole life living under the wrong identity?

Meng Jie's voice was firm.

"There's only one way to know for sure."

A DNA test.

Zi Yan hesitated.

It felt crazy.

What if it wasn't true?

What if this was just another cruel joke?

But deep down…

She knew.

She had always felt it.

She had never belonged in that house with her stepmother and stepsister.

She had never felt like family to them.

And now, maybe—just maybe—she knew why.

She agreed to the test.

And the results came back fast.

Meng Jie handed her the envelope.

Zi Yan's hands trembled as she tore it open.

Her eyes scanned the words.

And then—

Her entire world changed.

99.99% DNA match to the Zi Family.

Zi Yan felt like she had been struck by lightning.

She wasn't just a struggling actress.

She wasn't just a forgotten woman trying to survive.

She was Zi Yan, the true heiress of the Zi Family.

The news spread like wildfire.

The moment the DNA results were confirmed, the Zi Family made a public statement.

"After years of searching, we have finally found our beloved daughter, Zi Yan. We are grateful to everyone who helped bring her back to us."

The media exploded.

"The lost heiress is actually Zi Yan, the actress?!"

"How did no one realize this sooner?"

"Zi Yan's real background is even more powerful than we thought!"

Zi Yan watched the news in a daze.

Everything was happening so fast.

Her real parents wanted to meet her.

She was being welcomed back into a family she didn't even remember.

It was overwhelming.

But one thing was clear—

Her past had been stolen from her.

And now, she was going to take it back.

The Zi Family arranged a private meeting.

Zi Yan stood in front of the mansion's towering gates, her heart pounding.

This was her real home.

The place where she had been taken away from as a child.

She stepped inside.

The hall was grand, yet strangely familiar.

And then—

A woman rushed forward.

Her eyes were filled with tears.

"Yan'er…"

Zi Yan stiffened.

The woman's face was beautiful yet tired, as if she had spent years searching for someone.

Zi Yan opened her mouth, but no words came out.

Her mother's hands trembled as she cupped Zi Yan's face.

"My daughter… I've missed you so much."

A lump formed in Zi Yan's throat.

Her father stood beside them, his usually cold and strict face filled with emotion.

"We searched for you everywhere," he said in a low voice.

"Now that you're back, we will never let you go again."

Zi Yan's vision blurred.

A family.

A real family.

One that loved her.

She had spent years alone.

She had endured betrayal, humiliation, and pain.

But now, she had a place where she truly belonged.

Her mother hugged her tightly.

And for the first time in years—

Zi Yan let herself cry.

But just because she had found her family didn't mean her battle was over.

She had enemies.

People who didn't want her to return.

And now, they would do anything to stop her.

As Zi Yan stepped into her new life, she knew one thing—

This was just the beginning.

And she was ready for war.
