Clinging to the Sickly Male Supporting Character I Mistook for Someone Else

Xie Tianzhen transmigrated into a business-warfare novel as the illegitimate daughter of the wealthy Xie family patriarch. After the original character was brought back into the Xie family, she went from rags to riches overnight. She behaved herself for only a few days before showing her true colors, acting arrogant and spoiled and throwing her weight around. She even stole the Xie family's business secrets to give to the man she loved. When she was found out, a test revealed that she wasn't the old master's biological daughter after all. She was driven out of the Xie family with no money to her name. The original character ended up homeless, became a hostess at a bar to survive, and was accidentally killed in a fight between street thugs.

Having seen what was coming, Xie Tianzhen decided she absolutely would not make the same fatal mistakes as the original character. This time, she would find someone reliable to cling to. After weighing her options, she set her sights on the Xie family's third young master, Xie Bai, whom she assumed would be the easiest to get along with. He was chronically ill, paralyzed in both legs, and supposedly very mild-mannered.

In the original novel, Xie Bai barely appeared, but he lived a life of wealth and died of old age. If she clung to someone like him, even if she couldn't become rich and powerful, at least she wouldn't meet the original character's horrific end. But one day, she suddenly realized that something about this lifeline... wasn't quite right. He wasn't some minor male character at all. He was clearly a hidden powerhouse.

When Xie Tianzhen, regretting her shortsightedness, had packed her things and decided to run, the man covered his mouth as he weakly coughed and lamented, "Little sister... are you really going to abandon your Third Brother?"

Shortsighted Xie Tianzhen shivered.
