The Real Heiress Decides to Lie Flat

When she was 17, Zhao Youyou was told by the System that she was the biological daughter of the richest family in City X. She'd been switched at birth, and should have enjoyed a life of luxury and ease. Instead, the fake heiress had stolen her wonderful life, leaving her to scrape by in poverty.

Looking at the shabby old house with its bare walls, Zhao Youyou burst into tears and clenched her fists. This time, she'd take back everything that belonged to her!

The System told her that as long as she outperformed the fake heiress, she could reclaim the life that was rightfully hers.

Zhao Youyou decided to work herself to death trying to beat the fake heiress.
