Qiao Yupeng was the only daughter of the Qiao family. It wasn't until she was in her twenties, when her cousin, fiance, and first love all inexplicably turned against her, that she realized she was a vicious cannon-fodder supporting character in a romance novel where the heroine could choose from multiple love interests. She appeared in fewer than ten chapters, and her only purpose was to trip up the heroine and create opportunities for her to grow closer to the male leads.
After something happened to her, her father was devastated with grief. He transferred his love for his daughter to the kindhearted heroine of the multiple-love-interest novel, and left a will naming Qiao Yupeng's cousin and the heroine as heirs to the Qiao family.
Reborn in her college days, Qiao Yupeng picked up the novel The Sweet Little White Flower Becomes Everyone's Darling and was instantly exasperated. She barely appeared in it, and on top of being selfish and unreasonable, she'd been written as an idiot with rock-bottom intelligence, both stupid and cruel.
It was already hard enough to figure out how to spend her money every day. Now she was supposed to compete with a poor little white flower over men? What a joke!
One day, Qiao's father returned from a business trip and found his college-aged daughter acting strangely, staring at him with tears in her eyes.
Dad Qiao: What's wrong, Xiaoyu?
Qiao Yupeng: Dad, I've figured it out. Men are trash. I just want to be a beautiful freeloader with the Qiao family's vast fortune.
Dad Qiao: ...? Could you be more specific?
Qiao Yupeng immediately replied: The kind who wakes up in a luxurious 800-square-meter bed every morning and only has to think about how to spend money to enjoy herself.
Dad Qiao thought for a moment, then casually tossed her a bank card and said gently, "Xiaoyu, there's not much on this card. I'll call my secretary later and have them bring you a few more."
Qiao Yupeng: Tears of gratitude.
Before he left, Dad Qiao suddenly asked her, "By the way, several families' sons have been asking about you and want to invite you to dinner. What's going on?"
Qiao Yupeng's smile froze. "Nothing's going on. I'm not meeting them."
Notes:
1. A satisfying wish-fulfillment story about a low-IQ supporting character in a multiple-love-interest novel going from lazy to taking charge.
2. A sweet romance. The author says she knows how to write a sweet love story now, hehe.
Theme: My fate is mine to decide, not Heaven's.
