I Became a Heartthrob After Being Mistaken for a Fake Heiress

My new story, The Sickly Beauty of a Wealthy Family Goes Viral on a Psychic Reality Show, is now available for pre-save. Please add it to your collection!

Yu Ruoyin transmigrates into a story about a fake heiress and a real heiress, as the fake heiress. From the start, her background is exposed, she's kicked out of the wealthy family, her actor boyfriend announces their breakup, and the entire internet turns against her.

According to the plot, her manager will set her up, using a dating show with her ex to boost her popularity. The real heiress is innocent and kind, a lucky charm beloved by everyone. Meanwhile, Yu Ruoyin is a fussy troublemaker, the perfect universally despised foil.

System: But as long as you agree to bind with me, Host, and complete the missions, you can win back your ex-boyfriend's heart.

Yu Ruoyin curls her lips. “Oh? Anything else?”

System: ...No.

Yu Ruoyin: “Useless thing. You may leave.”

In her previous life, she was a seductive consort who brought a kingdom to ruin. Born into humble circumstances, she was blessed with breathtaking beauty and ultimately used her wiles and schemes to rise to the position of empress.

Men? Hah. Does she need to pick up trash?

The show starts airing, and the entire internet waits to see Yu Ruoyin shamelessly chase after her ex, get rejected, and suffer a humiliating face-slapping.

Trashy ex-boyfriend: “We were over a long time ago. Don't think you can come crawling back to me.”

Yu Ruoyin lowers her beautiful eyes halfway and lazily yawns. “Excuse me. You're blocking the light.”

Trashy ex-boyfriend: ?

Netizens: Has she gone crazy?

But one day...

The bashful campus heartthrob turns bright red when he gives her a bouquet. “Cornflowers mean... meeting you is my happiness.”

A business tycoon buys out a Michelin-starred restaurant just to make her smile. “Darling, try it. Does it suit your taste?”

A rising top-tier star, famous as an aloof heartthrob, releases a new album. The titles include “Ruoyin,” “Confession,” and “The M cinnabar mole”...

Even the real heiress, Yu Mianmian, sends her a message saying who she likes: “Sis, thank you for helping me see what certain people are really like.”

Yu Ruoyin: “Oh, I just can't stand trash.”

The ex, actor, and scumbag: (face contorted)

Netizens: Have they all gone crazy? We wanted to see someone get humiliated, but we didn't expect this kind of face-slapping!

Later...

Netizens: Aaaaaah, my wife is so beautiful! Another day of wanting to cuddle with her!

The following is a preview of an upcoming story.

Chu Xiao, a cultivation world's prodigy, is framed by her fellow disciple and dies in the prime of her life.

When she wakes up, she's become the female supporting character, the male lead's lost love, in an old-fashioned angst novel. The plot has reached the point where the female lead, a substitute, runs off while pregnant. The male lead realizes his mistake and breaks off his engagement to Chu Xiao, and her wealthy family is about to kick her out.

To escape the melodramatic plot, Chu Xiao decides to become independent as soon as possible. Unfortunately, her new body is sickly and as delicate as a porcelain doll. She's nearly penniless and on the verge of ending up on the streets.

As it happens, the psychic reality show Medium is offering a million yuan to recruit people with special abilities.

Chu Xiao: “Psychic powers? That's my old line of work!”

After Chu Xiao is announced as a contestant, netizens voice their opinions:

[Can anyone just show up to chase clout now?]

[Her, on a psychic reality show? If she doesn't cry in terror, I'll change my last name to the production team's!]

No one expects this sweet, fragile heiress to be an expert in fortune-telling, astrology, the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, the I Ching, and Liu Ren divination.

A famous rich kid takes her advice, and a business on the verge of bankruptcy comes back to life.

A popular star asks her for a talisman, and all the bad luck that nearly cost him his life disappears.

Even the man who broke off his engagement to her for the sake of true love comes crying to her for another chance, hoping she'll check the feng shui of his house.

Chu Xiao: “Sorry, I don't know you. Don't drag me into this.”

One of her talismans sells for an astronomical price on Xianyu. A famous master of the occult is invited to examine it, and upon seeing the talisman, exclaims:

“What kind of legendary master are you? I pale in comparison!”

*

Chu Xiao becomes a viral sensation thanks to the psychic show, and a ridiculously handsome man comes looking for her.

“I hear you're an expert in divination, Sister,” he says, blinking his beautiful, flirtatious eyes. “Why not tell our fortunes and see what fate has in store for us?”

“Your fox tail is showing.” Chu Xiao grabs him by the scruff of the neck. A snow-white fox looks up at her innocently, both front paws resting on her shoulders.

“Don't throw me away. I'm super easy to take care of!”

Reading guide:

1. Most authors make up the occult stuff, so don't believe it.

2. The male lead is older. Ahem.

3. The events in the blurb may not appear in this order.

Theme: Your fate is in your own hands.
