1.
Resources are scarce in the otherworld, and the mighty dragon race is on the verge of extinction.
Jin Suisui is the last young dragon of the evil dragon clan. At just 500 years old, her goal is to become clan leader, revive the evil dragon clan, and make the heavenly dragon clan yelp beneath her claws.
But before she can become clan leader, she transmigrates into a wealthy-family story about a real heiress and a fake heiress. She is the real heiress, switched at birth and raised in the countryside. According to the original plot, she's doomed to be the villainous foil: the fake heiress is sweet, gentle, and well liked, while she's arrogant, overbearing, and hated by everyone.
Eventually, her parents' affection shifts to the fake heiress, and even her childhood betrothed grows up to be a spoiled, unruly playboy, no match for the fake heiress's domineering CEO boyfriend.
Looking at her five-year-old human body, with its short arms and legs,
Jin Suisui thinks: Forget this ridiculous plot! How am I supposed to become clan leader now?
Jin Suisui decides to find a way to save up a fortune and prepare to revive the evil dragon clan.

Before long, a rumor spreads among the wealthy families: the real heiress the Jin family brought home must have been so poor in the countryside that, despite her young age, she's obsessed with money and terribly snobbish.
Curious people visit the Jin family to see the joke for themselves, only to find a long, crowded line outside. They crane their necks to look inside and see...
A dainty little girl with two tiny buns on her head sits at a small table in the living room. Her soft white hands work a calculator while she earnestly rattles off the prices:
"Auntie Xu, a face pat costs 366 yuan, and a hug costs 1,666 yuan. I'll give you a one percent discount, so after rounding down, that's 2,011 yuan."
"Uncle Mo, a cheek pinch costs 588 yuan. No discounts for new customers. Will you pay by card, cash, or QR code?"
"Brother Lin..."
The onlookers: "..." She really is quite the snob.
"Next." Jin Suisui checks her little notebook and sees that she's already made five figures today. Her heart bubbles with joy.
Suddenly, someone gives one of her little buns a gentle tug. A serious yet languid boy's voice sounds beside her ear: "Jin Suisui, how much to tug your hair?"
"Huh??" That infuriating voice!
Jin Suisui jerks her head up. Oh, wow. Who else could this little boy be, with his tender face and overbearing attitude, but her mortal enemy from the heavenly dragon clan?
Hahahahahaha! The heavens really do have a way of balancing the scales. Yu Longting, that arrogant prince of the heavenly dragons, has turned into a little brat too.
Wait, why does her eight-year-old betrothed look so much like Yu...?
3.
The all-kids variety show funded by the Yu family is about to start filming. The five-year-old fake heiress, the eight-year-old future CEO, and other neighborhood boys and girls will all be taking part.
Yu Longting comes to Jin Suisui. "Team up with me."
"No..."
Yu Longting raises an eyebrow. "Team up with me, and I'll help you make money."
Jin Suisui changes her tune. "Sounds good."
Once the show starts airing, the "Divine Dragon Duo," who bicker constantly but somehow work together seamlessly, become a huge hit.
Jin Suisui lies in a mountain of gold and silver she has earned, grinning from ear to ear.
Years later, while reminiscing about the show, Jin Suisui suddenly realizes something. "Hey, Yu Longting, why did we always get a bye whenever the teams were reshuffled?"
"Take a guess." The strikingly handsome boy lounges on the sofa, wearing a relaxed, radiant smile.
