Ji Mingyue, a top-level retiree from the world of quick transmigration, is back.
Only after returning did she learn that her world was a wish-fulfillment novel about wealthy families, and she was the notorious villainess.
[You are a famous spoiled fool who does nothing but squander your family's wealth, make trouble, and bully the down-on-his-luck male lead. He resents you for it.
In the end, you bring it all on yourself. The male lead grows up ruthless and takes revenge until your family is ruined. You get a miserable ending, hated by everyone.]
The System told her sympathetically, "If you start redeeming the male lead now, there's still hope."
Newly returned, Ji Mingyue looked at the male lead, drenched in wine she had poured over his head and radiating a cold, menacing aura, then at the countless family assets in her hands. With not a shred of survival instinct, she promptly gave up trying:
Come on, don't tell me a rich woman has to grovel to some stinky man?
In the three months since Ji Mingyue returned, she'd lived even more extravagantly than before. She never went out without eight bodyguards, took a helicopter instead of a car whenever possible, turned the Ji family's business upside down, and spent her days counting how many millions she'd blown through.
As for the male lead, she seemed to have forgotten all about him.
Yet by completely ignoring the male lead, she ended up catching his attention. At a family banquet, Yu Ming struck what he thought was his most handsome pose and invited Ji Mingyue to join him in a marriage alliance.
Holding a glass of red wine, Ji Mingyue rolled her eyes without the slightest hesitation and walked straight past him to the male supporting character, who was sneaking off to slack behind him.
The System was frantic. "Yu Ming is the chosen one, the future heir to the Yu family! You can't change your fate by sticking with his invisible older brother!"
Ji Mingyue: "I think you've got that backward."
The System: "?"
"The Ji family is number one among family businesses. The Ji family leads the industry and sets the trends. Every company is scrambling to work with the Ji family, begging for their favor."
"And the Ji family belongs to me."
# You didn't really think I spent money just for fun, did you?
# I've been through so many worlds. I'm no pushover.
"The future heir to the Yu family?" Ji Mingyue spun the unlimited black card in her hand, looking at the countless property deeds in the room, a frivolous smile on her lips. "Whoever gets engaged to me becomes the Yu family heir."
[She had never been the one begging fate for favor.]
Thanks to the kind B.S. for the cover!

Theme: Fate? Of course I decide that for myself.
