She Was Born to Shine

When Su Li was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, her entire family was busy decking the halls for the fake heiress's engagement party. The doctor said she had at most three months left, but her parents only cared whether she could "voluntarily" transfer her company shares to her younger brother before she died.

"You're going to die anyway. Instead of saving your strength, why not do something more for the family?" Her mother brought over chicken soup, her gentle tone as sharp as a knife.

Su Li smiled. Smiling, she signed the share transfer agreement. Smiling, she moved out of the mansion. Smiling, she checked into the hospital under their pitying gazes. Then, still smiling, she dialed the number she should have called three years ago.

"Mr. Qin, is the partnership you proposed three years ago still on the table?"

Three months later, Su Li was not only alive, but also sitting on the board of the family business with a misdiagnosis report and company shares worth ten times their former value. Meanwhile, the fake heiress once adored by the whole family was trembling as she handed over the bankruptcy liquidation papers.

"Sis, please..."

Su Li lifted her coffee and looked out at the rising sun. "Don't call me that. My surname is Su, yours is Lin. We were never family."

It had taken her twenty-six years to stop pleasing the world and start living for herself. And now, the game was only just beginning.
