At seventeen, Shen Zhaoning was brought back to the Shen family by her birth parents. Instead of flowers, she was greeted by the scheming of the fake heiress, her mother's cold stares, and the whole school's mockery.
Everyone took her for a country bumpkin.
No one knew she was the anonymous gold medalist of the national math competition, "Crane's Return."
No one knew she was the mysterious artist "White Deer on Green Cliffs," with millions of followers.
And no one knew she was "A Pot of Wine," a legendary finance blogger known for repeatedly making spot-on predictions on investment forums.
In finance class, she took three minutes to unravel a capital trap, catching the attention of the man at the podium: Lu Jingyan, the youngest head of the Lu family's capital firm.
His curiosity turned to admiration, then protectiveness, then love. This outwardly cold but warm-hearted man became the shield she never expected.
The fake heiress laid traps at every turn, and Shen Zhaoning countered them all. The wealthy family's attacks came from every direction, and she exposed them one by one.
As her secret identities fell away, the whole school went from waiting for a laugh to calling her their queen with sincere respect.
Meanwhile, clues hidden in her adoptive father's notebook pointed to a scheme to switch daughters that had spanned twenty years, slowly coming to light.
A true heiress never needs bloodlines to prove herself. Her strength is enough to crush everything in her path.
