A bold, arrogant, sharp-tongued, reborn heiress gong x a seemingly innocent, secretly calculating, money-loving beauty shou
(One is shameless; the other only pretends to be proper.)
Plot-focused blurb
Jiang Xun was born into the Jiang family, the richest family in the country. In a wealthy family, there is no such thing as affection. To avoid becoming a pawn, she had to become the one moving the pieces.
She fought her own brother tooth and nail, only for everything to end up in the hands of a white-lotus, scheming illegitimate daughter who appeared out of nowhere.
The white-lotus schemer manipulated her father into throwing her out of the house, then used the family's interests as an excuse to send her off to marry a seventy-year-old tycoon. After that, the family's lifeline businesses were sold off one by one, and their vast commercial empire collapsed overnight.
In the end, she died on her way to her grandfather's funeral: a truck smashed her to pieces, then ran over her again and again. She died on the spot.
Only Lu Jin, her sister-in-law in name only, collected her remains and avenged her.
She closed her eyes, then opened them, and found herself back at eighteen, in an age when gold was everywhere. With every advantage this time around, she would never repeat her past mistakes. She would repay every act of malice from her previous life and return every kindness.
Lu Jin had known since childhood what her role in a wealthy family was: to be a useful tool for a marriage alliance.
But she refused to accept her fate. Her useless younger brother was inferior to her in every way, so why should she marry into the Jiang family and pave his road to success?
She would never give up what was hers! And if it wasn't hers, she'd take it!
She thought the perilous road to seizing power would be lonely and bitter. Before she knew it, though, someone was standing by her side, sheltering her from wind and snow and facing every challenge with her.
Irreverent romance blurb
At eighteen, Jiang Xun was young, bold, and full of life. She also couldn't stand Lu Jin, that perfect child everyone else admired.
Ever since they were little, Lu Jin had competed with her for every chance to shine.
And in the end, Lu Jin even got engaged to Jiang Xun's idiot brother, trying to take the Jiang family fortune from her, too.
Reborn in a single moment, Jiang Xun looked at the beautiful, alluring woman before her.
After a brief moment's thought, she decided to prepare for trouble by dismantling the enemy from within!
So Lu Jin found that Jiang Xun, who used to look like she wanted to bite her every time they met, had undergone a complete change.
She started fussing over her, treating her with gentle tenderness and becoming so obsequious that she was practically shameless.
Lu Jin: ...What exactly are you plotting?
Jiang Xun: I've got my eye on you
Lu Jin: ???
Jiang Xun:, your talent!
At first, Jiang Xun only wanted to bring a partner onto her side. She never expected their partnership to become so intimate.
Lu Jin boxed her in against the office chair, eyes alluring and lips curved in a smile. "Say that again. What is it that you've got your eye on?"
Jiang Xun straightened up and bit her, mumbling, "You..."
"Don't marry my idiot brother. Marry me instead. I'll give you anything you want."
Lu Jin had always kept someone in her heart, but that person never seemed to like her much, so Lu Jin quietly kept her distance, never daring to overstep.
Until one day, that person inexplicably changed, and started hovering around her.
Looking at Jiang Xun, as warm as the sun, Lu Jin could no longer hold herself back.
So she used herself as bait, luring Jiang Xun into her trap, and binding them together in life and death.
Important notes:
In her previous life, Lu Jin only had a business engagement with Jiang Xun's brother. They never married, and there were no feelings involved!
When Jiang Xun was reborn, Lu Jin was only close to her, not her brother. There is no immoral relationship.
