[Real and fake heiresses] + [Radio host in a military district]
Thirty-eight-year-old Chen Niannian dies a horrible death in the street, only to learn at the very end that her gambling-addicted, abusive parents aren't her biological family, and that the fake heiress she'd "only met once" was the real villain who'd stolen her place. Her entire life, she'd been exploited for everything she was worth. All her money went to feed the gambling habit; she was beaten, cursed at, and schemed against. Her adoptive parents even secretly sold her hard-earned university enrollment to get 30,000 yuan for gambling, and she died with her eyes unclosed.
"If I get another life, I'll make them pay in blood!" A bolt of lightning struck, and she was reborn at seventeen, just after the college entrance exams. By the lakeside, her adoptive mother yanked her hair and screamed, "Sign away your university place! Thirty thousand is just what your father needs to pay off his gambling debts!"
Her nightmare from her previous life returned. Chen Niannian's eyes turned icy. "My life is mine to control!" She tore up the agreement to sell her enrollment, got into a top university with her high scores, and became a wildly popular radio host around the city, making a fortune on the side.
Her gambling-addicted adoptive father shows up to beat her? Crushing debts? The fake heiress is in her class, secretly tripping her up out of jealousy and framing her, while pretending to be fragile to bask in her reflected glory and win sympathy? Chen Niannian gives her a face-slapping takedown, strips away her hypocritical mask, and makes the life she stole collapse around her!
She'd planned to focus on her career, open a chain of milk tea shops, make documentaries, and study film directing abroad using her own talent.
But while interviewing at a military district, Chen Niannian catches the attention of a powerful, austere big shot who can't keep his distance. "Host Chen, you owe me a favor. You'll have to spend your whole life paying me back." He pulls her into his arms, his gaze burning. "Marry me. I'll handle your enemies, and I'll spoil you."
In the end, the fake heiress's identity is exposed, and she is killed after suffering the consequences. Her adoptive parents beg on the streets, while Chen Niannian wins both a successful career and a happy love life, cherished by the big shot and seeing every regret from her previous life made right.
