“You're nothing but a living puppet hired to look after my family's assets!” Her cousin's smile dripped with poison as she tore away the mask of fifteen years of hypocrisy.
In her previous life, the orphaned heiress had been bled dry by her own relatives. In this life, she held the secret business directives her parents had hidden away.
When her hypocritical aunt offered her poison again, she flung the equity agreement beneath the spotlights of a financial summit.
When the medical team tried to forge proof of a terminal illness, a top legal team burst in with evidence of twenty years of crimes.
Everyone thought she was a puppet for others to manipulate, until she crushed the crystal chandelier at a charity gala beneath her crocodile-skin heels.
On a livestream, she held up a yellowed adoption agreement: “Five million a month in support, and this is the bunch of ingrates it bought.”
Meanwhile, the head of the Fu family, whose marriage proposal she had personally rejected, wrapped the heirloom prayer beads around her slender wrist.
In a dream that night, she saw him kneeling before three thousand steps until his flesh was bloody and torn, giving away his hundred-billion fortune to secure her chance at rebirth.
When the truth came to light, he pressed a kiss to her nail-polished fingertip and smiled. “If Nuan Nuan wants revenge, I'll be her blade. If Nuan Nuan wants to reach the stars, I'll be her ladder.”
