Fake heiress + period setting + spatial dimension + revenge + military romance
A sharp pain throbbed through Lin Tingxue’s head, as if steel bars were being twisted inside it. When she woke, her head was wrapped in gauze.
I transmigrated into the body of Lin Tingxue, the Lin family’s eighteen-year-old fake heiress. The newly reunited “real heiress,” Lin Yuejiao, had pushed her down the stairs, killing her on the spot. I came from the modern world, looked exactly like her, and was reborn in her body.
The Lin parents actually tried to guilt-trip me into signing a statement of forgiveness in the name of “family,” so Lin Yuejiao could get away with attempted murder.
Lin Tingxue laughed in disbelief and immediately made a scene, exposing her grievances and injuries to the press. The Lin family came under investigation for its dirty dealings: selling off factory supplies, then selling their jobs and signing up for rural service before leaving with their luggage.
The village aunties and matchmakers practically broke down my door trying to find me a husband. On a whim, I made up a fiancé named Fu Chengzhou, borrowing the male lead from the over-the-top romance novel Domineering CEO, Fall Madly in Love, stored in my spatial dimension.
Who knew the aunties would light up as soon as they heard the name? “Oh! So you’re Fu Chenzhou’s sweetheart!”
I thought I’d casually made up a name and they’d believed me. I had no idea that the Fu family at the east end of the village had a son named Fu Chenzhou who served in the military as a regiment commander.
A few months later, he returned to the village to recover from an injury. The man, one arm in a sling, blocked my way, his brows drawn together. “Comrade, I hear you’ve been telling everyone you’re my sweetheart?”
I looked up into his appraising gaze, and my mind went blank.
I was doomed. How was I supposed to explain the name I’d made up?
