Song Zhuo, a Celestial Master in purple robes, returned to her original body: the Song family’s biological daughter, who had been switched at birth and raised elsewhere for eighteen years.
On the day she came back, her entire family was celebrating the fake heiress’s birthday. The iron gates were shut tight, and the birthday song played on repeat inside. No one came out to greet her. Song Zhuo stood at the gate in a pilled sweater, beside the old suitcase her adoptive parents had thrown out. Its zipper had burst, spilling clothes all over the ground.
In her previous life, she had met countless people and never misjudged anyone. She glanced at the five uncles in the living room. They were gathered around the fake heiress, passing her cake and wiping away her tears. They looked at Song Zhuo as if she were an item waiting to be inspected. Song Zhuo walked over, blew out the fake heiress’s candles, and cut herself a slice. “It’s my birthday too. Surely I can have a piece of cake?”
Everyone thought the country girl had gone crazy. No one knew that she could see each of her five uncles’ troubles at a glance, but she couldn’t be bothered to say anything. She had come back to lie flat, not to be their free adviser.
That is, until the business partner Uncle Five trusted most prepared to strip him of all his assets. Song Zhuo couldn’t hold back and said one thing. The man went deathly pale on the spot. One by one, the five uncles caught on and began competing to become the country girl’s protectors.
Leaning back on the sofa, Song Zhuo sipped cola with goji berries from her insulated cup. “I spent my whole previous life fighting people, and it was never this exhausting. At least people don’t fake-cry to your face.”
The fake heiress ground her teeth. It had taken her eighteen years to secure her place in the family, but in less than a month, Song Zhuo had turned all five uncles against her. What she didn’t know was that Song Zhuo watched her act as if she were watching a monkey, and she had never been interested in competing with her in the first place.
Only then did the five uncles realize that this seemingly unhinged girl was the Song family’s true backbone.
