[Rich family + Feel-good revenge + Both leads are romantically inexperienced + Sweet romance]
Gu Wannian wakes up to discover she has become the villainess with the same name in a brainless, melodramatic novel.
The plot is a complete mess:
A mother who died young, a biased and rotten father, a brainless older brother, and a fake heiress with a sugary-sweet act.
And the original owner, who was hopelessly in love.
As the male lead's devoted admirer, she not only fails to win his love, but ends up losing everything to the female lead and dying in the wilderness.
Gu Wannian is speechless. The original owner really got put through the wringer!
--
Everyone thinks Gu Wannian will have to walk on eggshells.
After all, aside from her looks, how could she compare with the fake heiress, raised in luxury and doted on by money?
But it turns out she's no ordinary woman.
She takes down the fake heiress and stands up to her older brother. Even her own father doesn't escape!
So what if her rotten father and idiot brother don't love her?
They have no idea that her mother's hidden identity is the daughter of a mysterious tycoon.
Her maternal grandparents are more than happy to spoil her!
--
Her rotten father wants to give shares to the fake heiress as a birthday present.
Gu Wannian smiles. "Huh... It seems to be getting a little chilly."
The shares slip right out of the fake heiress's grasp, and she weeps bitterly.
The male lead calls Gu Wannian more vicious than a snake or scorpion and warns that if she bullies the fake heiress again, he'll make her pay!
Gu Wannian raises an eyebrow in curiosity. "How bad could it be? Could it be worse than watching you lose your reputation?"
And yet--
Somehow, she catches the eye of a certain refined, top-tier big shot.
From the moment they meet, he protects her unconditionally at every turn and stands up for her.
The man reverently kisses the back of her hand, his voice deep and mellow. "Wannian, will you let me take your surname?"
She can't stop her tears. "Why... do I feel like I've known you for so long?"
