(I'm not writing this anymore. Can't delete it.)
Meng Nan was an outstanding graduate of the Villain Conquest System. After completing quick transmigration missions across multiple worlds, she retired at max level and received a reward:
A world where she could "enjoy her retirement."
In this world, she was the long-lost granddaughter of a billionaire.
Grandpa, the richest man in the country: "I'm sorry you've suffered all these years. Take the black card on the table and use it. If it isn't enough, just tell me!"
CEO Dad: "Since you're back, sign the equity transfer documents, too. You don't have to work. Just sit back and collect dividends!"
Socialite Mom: "All the clothes on this floor are yours. When we have time, I'll take you shopping."
Movie-star Brother: "Want to join the entertainment industry? I'll make sure you can do whatever you want!"
Meng Nan stared at the stack of black cards on the table, the string of zeroes on the equity transfer documents, and the walk-in closet that could rival Barbie's Dreamhouse. Her inner monologue: I wouldn't even dare dream of this! (Eyes shaking.)
Everyone hates the rich, yet everyone wants to become one of them.
Meng Nan finally understood that saying.
There was no fake heiress adopted out of longing for a lost child, and no over-the-top melodrama. This was a bona fide everyone-dotes-on-her story.
The only thing Meng Nan wasn't happy about was that the wealthy family's older brother in this world looked too much like her "enemy."
She couldn't help thinking back to a Republican-era world where, to conquer a villainous warlord, she'd used a frail young man with an illness.
She spent his money, deceived him about her feelings, stole his intelligence, and even used him to make her conquest target jealous. Then, once she'd made a name for herself, she faked her death in a fire and walked away.
Meng Nan's heart skipped a beat. She realized that apart from his name, Shen Qiubei was practically a carbon copy of that person. This was bad. She couldn't shake the feeling that her victim had come to settle the score...
Question: What should you do when you finish quick transmigration missions and arrive in your retirement reward world, only to meet an NPC you once hurt and used? How can you guard against revenge? Asking online! It's urgent!
I'm not updating this story for a while. I'm really stuck and have practically given up. Maybe I'll write again someday if I get inspired. I can't write silly comedy. Even my sister hates it, and so does my landlord. Anyone who's been waiting can stop following it now. Sorry.
