Fake Heiress, So What?

In her fourth year studying away from home, Zhao Yunmu learned that her parents had taken in their real son. The real young master was sincere and kind. Though he came from a poor family, he worked hard and never gave up. The moment he came home, the whole family adored him. The real young master was diligent and grateful, studying hard to repay them. He had repeated a year, but people said he could still get into a top university. In public, the real young master was gentle and well-behaved. In private, his smile vanished, leaving his sharply handsome face cold and indifferent. He looked at her with amused, narrow peach-blossom eyes. “Little sister... What would you be willing to give up to stay in this family?” His tone was suggestive. “Or do you want to go back to that family and suffer the way I did?” Zhao Yunmu: “?” She stared at him in disbelief and said to her assistant, “Is this guy talking to me? I studied economics as a child and got my parents to invest, which earned them tens of millions. I went to college at fifteen, was a doctoral student at nineteen, founded my own studio, secured a seed investment, and became a popular science YouTuber with a million subscribers. Now I’m coming home to compete on a brainpower reality show.” Assistant: “...” Assistant: “Looks like it.” An engineering-minded woman like her couldn’t make sense of all those twists and turns. Zhao Yunmu sent him a voice message and blocked him without hesitation: “Get lost.” - Years ago, a mix-up at birth occurred when the babies were delivered in the countryside. After the Zhao family brought their biological son, Zhao Siyu, home, they were consumed by guilt. They found fault with Zhao Yunmu no matter how they looked at her. “Yunmu is just too wild. She’s like a boy, running off as soon as she was a teenager. She doesn’t care about home at all.” “Yunmu has too fiery a temper. She’s not likable or gentle and considerate. Even we can’t control her. Who would put up with her when she gets married?” “She was just lucky enough to make us some money as a kid, when she insisted we invest.” After criticizing Zhao Yunmu, her parents took Zhao Siyu’s hand and spoke kindly. “I always knew having a son was better. No matter how far he goes, he still thinks of home. He’s easy to raise.” “Look at how you asked about the family business the minute you came back. Unlike her, she can’t do anything but study.” “If we’d had a son like you sooner, you could have helped your parents. Our business brings in tens of millions a year, and she couldn’t care less.” Zhao Siyu’s eyes darkened. After a moment’s silence, he smiled and asked tentatively, “I wonder what you plan to do about my little sister...” “I don’t mind making a few sacrifices. She is a girl, after all.” Yuan Shui Village was poor and remote. If Zhao Yunmu had to study and live there, could she still act so superior and put on airs like a young lady? Without her privileged lifestyle, could she still take his place and enjoy such a wonderful life? She would probably have married an old man by now. The Zhao parents hesitated. That was true. A daughter would eventually marry and leave. It wouldn’t be right for an adult woman to live with Siyu, a grown young man. “Let’s wait and see. If Yunmu behaves and gets along with you, we’re well-off. We can afford to feed one more person.” Zhao Siyu’s eyes dimmed as a wild flame burned within them. What if she panicked and made a terrible mistake? ...Little sister. I can’t wait. - The entire Zhao family waited for Zhao Yunmu to come home. They couldn’t give her the big bedroom anymore, but the small guest room would do. Zhao Siyu was ready. Zhao Yunmu’s assistant and driver carried in her luggage, swiftly moving her into a 300-square-meter luxury apartment in downtown City A. “Hello, Mr. Wang. I’m back in the country. I’m open to considering that investment you mentioned. Tomorrow? You want to take me to dinner and discuss it tomorrow? Isn’t that a bit soon? I still need to get over the jet lag.” “Mr. Li? Oh, that project is still under research. I’ll let you know when we have results. No need to rush. You want to come by today? That’s too soon, I haven’t even unpacked yet.” “The budget can go up another ten million? Tsk, you’re making me sound like some kind of person...” Zhao Yunmu was busy one thing after another. One day she was negotiating deals worth tens of millions; the next, she was meeting big names from the rich list. She also had all kinds of interviews and university talks to prepare for. The genius girl had returned to serve her country, and the news was everywhere overnight. The modest, low-key young woman appeared on interview screens, speaking with substance and composure, her words revealing the depth of her knowledge. In an instant, she gained countless fans and kept trending, becoming the role model countless young people dreamed of becoming. Zhao Siyu and the Zhao parents waited until they were on the verge of bursting with impatience, but she still didn’t come home. Then, on the eve of the college entrance exam, she appeared on a national TV program being interviewed as a young idol. Zhao Yunmu sat down gracefully. She picked up the microphone and gave a 392-word account of her achievements and career. Zhao Siyu, retaking the exam to prepare for the college entrance test: ??? - Yuan Shui Village was a wonderful place. Zhao Yunmu rode back to her hometown, and the villagers set off firecrackers all along the way. She got out of the car, bowed her head to put on the red flower worn by the top scorer, then smiled and looked around. She went over and hugged her biological mother and older sister, who were standing there nervously. The two women froze. They hadn’t expected this glamorous heiress to think so highly of them. “What do you mean, fake heiress? I’m your real daughter.” Before long, their family grew more and more prosperous and wealthy. Meanwhile, the Zhao family’s business fell into chaos across the board. Then they realized... Wait, those parents in the city had built their fortune because of Zhao Yunmu? The Zhao parents fainted in a rage. “That was supposed to be our fortune!” P.S. Rest assured, this is a feel-good power fantasy. There will be plenty of face-slapping. The heroine faces no angst, and the whole story is satisfying from beginning to end. Theme: If your family can’t be your support, become the support your family needs.
