Lin Duoduo didn't find out until she was eighteen that she was a cannon-fodder supporting female character in a novel.
The real heiress, she was switched at birth and grew up in a martial arts school full of boys. At eighteen, she was brought back to a wealthy family.
Her biological parents looked at her with pained disappointment. "How can a daughter of a wealthy family be so uncouth?"
The fake heiress, who was actually the heroine, teared up. "Sister, I know I wronged you, but we're truly in love. Please let us be together."
The fiance her family had chosen for her when she was little looked at her with disdain. "Even if you're the real Miss Lin, I only love Yuanyuan."
Her own brother couldn't stand the sight of her either. In the end, after someone egged him on, he sent her to take part in a reality show called The Making of a Lady.
Lin Duoduo only wanted to make money and build up the martial arts school. As for her wealthy parents and brother, and the hero and heroine, they could all get out of her way.

After Lin Duoduo was sent to take part in The Making of a Lady, everyone waited to see her make a fool of herself. No one expected her to become an unexpected hit. Viewers thought she was the most forthright and unpretentious contestant, and she gained a huge following. Endorsements and appearances poured in, and she was even invited to star in a martial arts film.
Gradually, Lin Duoduo realized that the martial arts school she'd thought was down on its luck wasn't struggling at all. Famous directors, veteran actors, and former triple-crown Best Actor winners in the entertainment industry all turned out to be her fellow disciples. Lin Duoduo thrived in show business.

Lin Yuanyuan, the fake heiress and real heroine who had always wanted to crush Lin Duoduo, suddenly realized that Lin Duoduo hadn't fallen into ruin despite her family's rejection and dislike.
Instead, she was doing better and better. Even her parents and brother began to regret their choices. What made Yuanyuan even more jealous was that the man she herself looked up to was willing to descend from his pedestal for Lin Duoduo.
