[The Husband’s Regret and Pursuit + Sharp-Tongued, Cunning, Scheming Male Lead × Clear-Headed, Socially Savvy Heroine + Transmigrated into a Story of the Real and Fake Heiresses]
After dying of illness in her previous life, Lin Zhiruo transmigrates to a parallel world and becomes the least loved of the two heiresses in a wealthy family: the real daughter and the impostor. Her adoptive parents resent her, her birth parents dislike her, and even her fiancé, Yao Chengzhou, thinks she looks plain and refuses to honor their engagement.
Lin Zhiruo remains calm and composed. Whoever wants to be the heiress can have the job, and whoever wants to marry into the family can do so. She changes her name and disappears without a trace.
Years later, Yao Chengzhou discovers that the woman he has longed for but could never have is none other than the fiancée he once cast aside like garbage. By then, she is already dating his cousin.
Later, everyone in their social circle laughs themselves silly: Young Master Yao, the Third, has been arrogant his whole life, yet he’s managed to turn himself from the rightful fiancé into a homewrecker. They watch as Yao Chengzhou, a man who has always looked down on everyone else, humbles himself, uses every manipulative trick in the book, and tries every kind of sweet talk to win Lin Zhiruo over:
“Zhiruo, when are you going to break up with him?”
“I’m richer than he is, better-looking than he is, and I love you more.”
“Won’t you turn around and look at me?”
It's alright. I hope the female lead won't be swayed by fake family ties; it's unnecessary for someone who's transmigrated.
It's a good book I started reading from the previous one.
