The Heiress Is a Super Research Genius

[New Story: The Real Heiress Is Busy Doting on People. Upcoming Story Preview Below] The Shi family's long-lost daughter was finally found. Everyone mocked, despised, and insulted her. Compared with her elegant, gracious, gentle, and well-mannered sister, she was a greedy, money-grubbing woman, like a patch of filthy, disgusting mud on the ground. Her wealthy parents said, "Although your sister was adopted, she's been with us for over a decade, and we have a deep bond. Don't think about taking her place. Just behave and don't cause trouble, and you'll still be a young lady of the Shi family." Her older brother said, "Why did you have to come back? Couldn't you have just stayed out there and fended for yourself?" Her ex-boyfriend said, "I'm sorry, I've fallen in love with someone else. You were by my side for over a decade, but she was with me through the hardest time of my life. She's wonderful, and I can't hurt her." Her betrothed, whom she had been promised to since childhood, said, "You've hurt her time and again. A vicious, greedy woman like you still thinks she can marry into our family?" * Shi Ling smiled faintly. Debts always had to be repaid. * At a banquet in City A, a woman in a qipao approached with a slender waist and graceful steps. Her red lips curled into an almost-smile. One casual glance over her shoulder was enough to radiate endless charm. [A wish-fulfillment story that goes all in on the wish fulfillment! The heroine is a jack-of-all-trades! The setup exists to serve the plot!] [The professional knowledge is total nonsense, so don't scrutinize it.] [One-on-one romance, with a face-slapping and scum-punishing plot. The male lead is basically a prop, mainly there to patch plot holes. The romance is pitifully sparse.] [Written like a grade-schooler, with an old-school romance flavor. Proceed with caution if that's not your thing.] [Don't buy the whole thing at once. If you can't get through it, cut your losses in time.] [Upcoming Story Preview] If you like it, please add it to your collection! The Real Heiress Is Busy Doting on People On her third day back in Nancheng, her blood relatives came looking for her and wanted to bring Xu Nanyan home. It turned out she had been deliberately switched at birth, and she was the little princess of the wealthy Shen family. The impostor heiress had enjoyed everything that should have been hers: her identity, status, wealth, education, engagement, and her family's love. On Xu Nanyan's first day back at the Shen family home, her parents, older brother, and younger twin siblings stood protectively in front of the impostor heiress. They warned her not to try to take anything from her, and said that the impostor heiress would always be a daughter of the Shen family. "If it weren't for her, you wouldn't even have had the chance to come back." Xu Nanyan: "..." Xu Nanyan was left dumbfounded. The impostor heiress gazed at the real heiress with pity. Under the Shen family's protection, she would live happily ever after as a princess, while the other girl would be left in the dirt. Everyone in their circle watched for a spectacle. The daughter the Shen family had doted on for years wasn't their biological child, while the real heiress had been raised outside and was utterly unsuited to high society. In the end, she was even driven out of the house. In the face of more than twenty years of love, blood ties counted for nothing. - A few months later, a powerful figure from overseas returned to China with vast wealth, and Nancheng held a grand banquet to welcome them. The Shen family were stunned to discover that the distinguished figure, surrounded by admirers, was the very real heiress they had looked down on. She glanced at them indifferently, as if they were rocks by the roadside. Then she turned away and smiled warmly at a lady and two teenagers. Those were the family she acknowledged. That night, the Shen family became a laughingstock. - Xu Nanyan had suffered hardship and instability from a young age, learning early how cruel the world could be. Fortunately, she met the family she had now. Her gentle, tender mother caressed her cheek. "You will always be our pride." Her handsome, rebellious younger brother followed close behind her. "Big Sister is the most perfect and powerful person in my heart!" Her lively, adorable younger sister hugged her and acted spoiled every day. "I love Big Sister most! I want to be with you forever!" The Shen family thought Xu Nanyan would be nothing without them, but the crown of glory had always belonged to her. In the end, all they could do was watch with red-rimmed eyes as she lavished tenderness on the family she had chosen, while they couldn't even see her. Xu Nanyan was busy bidding on world-famous jewelry for her mother, buying a club for her younger brother, and choosing an equestrian center for her younger sister. She wanted to give them the very best the world had to offer. Reader's Guide: 1. The heroine is an absolute powerhouse, and lots of people have one-sided crushes on her. 2. The Shen family arc is pretty frustrating. Once she leaves them, it's pure feel-good wish fulfillment from start to finish. 3. Written like a grade-schooler, with awkward wish fulfillment. 4. The male lead is a prop. His screen time depends on whether the author remembers him. Theme: Happiness is something you have to fight for yourself.
