   I'd give this one a thumbs up. The female lead is constantly testing whether her uncle will abandon her because of the real heiress's return, but her uncle is happy to accept her even though he knows she might be a fake heiress. This kind of tug-of-war is truly rare to see in Tomato's works.

   This is nothing like the typical spoiled, innocent girl story described in the synopsis! No wonder it has such a high rating – there's a reason for it. I didn't really like the 12-year-old Shen Yue part of the story and almost gave up. But then I thought, a story with tens of thousands of positive reviews must have its reasons, and I completely fell in love with it during the flashback scenes – she's incredibly strong. The female lead's intelligence and combat prowess explode later on, and all the plot holes the author created are filled in the end. It's a story worth savoring.

   It's so good!!! The female lead knew from a young age that she was a fake heiress and cherished this hard-won relationship.

But instead of giving up, she and the male lead became better versions of themselves.

    The female lead, a fake rich girl, is a time-traveling, laid-back woman. The male lead is a gentle, controlling older brother. It's a straightforward love story among adults, with foreshadowing and plot twists. The male lead transforms from a yandere, controlling, gentle to a loyal dog, while the female lead gradually matures. It's a good read.
