Being transmigrated as a fake heiress isn’t scary. What’s terrifying is that the moment Lin Yuxi opens her eyes, the System tells her she has less than two days to live!
Want to survive? Sure, go find your dad!
Fail to find one? Fine, straight into the pig trough. They’ll chew your face first, then your neck, guaranteeing maximum public humiliation!
Lin Yuxi breaks down on the spot.
Other people transmigrate into palace or family intrigue, slapping faces and crushing scumbags. After transmigrating, she has to search the whole capital for a dad to extend her life?!
Claim a scumbag as her dad? Failure.
Claim a fake dad? Too late.
By a twist of fate, she crashes into the carriage of Xie Peizhao, the Eastern Depot’s Chief Eunuch, and two imperial decrees come flying her way.
She becomes the illustrious Princess of Prince Xiaoyao’s residence, and even gets a powerful, insanely jealous fiancé thrown in!
She thinks she can finally cling to his coattails and lie flat while extending her life, but then the System warns her:
Each dad can extend your life only once!
To stay alive, Lin Yuxi has no choice but to build her career, rise through the ranks, and stir up trouble, all while continuing to find new sources of dads.
But gradually, things start to go off the rails.
A future powerbroker, a noble young lord from the Ministry of Justice, a foreign visitor of astonishing status... One after another, they all seem to have ulterior motives toward her.
Whenever they can’t hold back from confessing their feelings, Lin Yuxi always asks with utmost sincerity:
“Um... is your dad home?”
And so the future powerbroker becomes her sworn brother, the noble young lord from the Ministry of Justice becomes her sworn brother, and nearly every big shot at court almost gets claimed as her relative.
Until one day, her real father comes looking for her. He sees the pack of covetous godfathers and sworn brothers behind her, along with Chief Eunuch Xie, who is protecting her so thoroughly no one can get near, and falls completely silent.
He only lost a daughter. How does it feel like he’s gained relatives from half the court?
Even more terrifying, his identity seems to be far more alarming than anyone imagined.
Good, good, good
