The Wealthy Heiress Became Everyone's Favorite After They Heard Her Thoughts [Book Transmigration]

Shen Baili, who had been born into this world sixteen years ago, awakened memories of her previous life and realized she had transmigrated into a book. She discovered that her mother, who had married into a top-tier wealthy family, and she herself, a burdensome stepchild, were both villainous supporting characters in a story about the rich. Greedy and selfish, they constantly caused trouble... until they were eventually thrown out and met tragic ends. Shen Baili decided to keep her head down, study hard, and save as much money as she could. If the plot couldn't be changed, she would at least make sure she and her mother had another way out. What she didn't know was that when her memories awakened, she was also bound to a "mind-reading" bug. Under certain circumstances, people could hear her thoughts. * Every member of the Xie family, one of the wealthiest families around, was a formidable figure: beautiful, capable, and tragic villains. Father Xie was a powerful family patriarch who could command the business world and never let his emotions show. Eldest Brother Xie was a cool-headed, self-disciplined, ruthless CEO straight out of a romance novel. Second Brother Xie was a talented actor and a wildly popular top-tier star. Aunt Xie was a gifted pianist who had won numerous international awards. The family didn't pay much attention to Shen Baili, until... * One day, Eldest Brother Xie was driving Shen Baili to school because she was running late. He hung up on his fiancee, and in the quiet, enclosed car, he heard his stepsister's voice, even though no one had opened their mouth. "In a week, Eldest Brother's fiancee will successfully steal confidential business information and hand it to the CEO of the company bidding against him, who's also her secret boyfriend..." "Eldest Brother is actually a pretty good person. How can I subtly pass this news along to him?" "Should I dye my hair green?" Eldest Brother Xie: ?! * Second Brother Xie was busy with work and happened to run into Shen Baili at home. She was dejected because she hadn't managed to get concert tickets, so he casually asked, "How many do you want?" In an instant, he saw the girl's eyes light up... and then he heard a strange voice. "Aaaaaah, Second Brother is amazing!" "Actually, Second Brother is a good person too. How do I tell him someone tampered with the safety wires on the show he's filming? He'll be badly injured and disfigured..." Second Brother Xie: ???!!! * At the mall, Aunt Xie handed a sanitary pad to a girl who was trapped in the restroom. Only then did she realize the girl she'd helped was her brother's stepdaughter. The girl's little face was flushed, and she looked deeply grateful. Though no one was speaking, Aunt Xie heard a voice. "Aunt Xie is beautiful and kindhearted. She's a good person." "So... how do I quietly tell her that the child she's planning to adopt is actually her husband's illegitimate son?" Aunt Xie: What??? Shen Baili realized that she didn't even need to warn them: the powerful members of the Xie family swiftly resolved their own major problems, and their careers even reached new heights. Great. Good people get rewarded. As an utterly ordinary cannon-fodder villainess, all she had to do was quietly keep her head down. But... at some point, the people around her started treating her better and better, and the assets in her name... were piling up like a mountain. Hey, what gives???!!! "Eldest Brother, aren't you supposed to be a cold-faced CEO? You're smiling so gently that it's scaring me." "Second Brother Xie, your character is falling apart too." "Aunt Xie, please stop giving me jewelry. My safe is full..." * A few years later, Shen Baili got into one of the country's top universities and appeared on a reality show featuring ordinary people solving mysteries. A wealthy influencer publicly mocked her as a burdensome stepchild living off a rich family, pretending to be more than she was. Shen Baili was soon swarmed with ridicule and online abuse. That day, the usually aloof Xie Group posted publicly and tagged Shen Baili: "The Xie family's eldest daughter, in name and in fact." Top tycoon Father Xie: "@Shen Baili, my darling daughter, Dad bought you a complete jewelry set. Try it on when you get home." Cold CEO Eldest Brother Xie: "@Shen Baili, don't be afraid, little sister. I bought a few villas and put them in your name to make you feel better." Award-winning actor Second Brother Xie: "@Shen Baili, I bought you a sports car. Let's go for a drive, then head to a concert. Don't be sad." National-level concert pianist Aunt Xie: "@Shen Baili, Suisui, don't be afraid. Your family will always be your strongest support." ...The entire internet crashed. Netizens: We're done. Shen Baili isn't a burdensome stepchild at all. She's the beloved young heiress of a wealthy family!!! -- Coming soon: My Grandma the Top-Tier Star Is Three and a Half Lin Yunzhuo was a supreme prodigy in the cultivation world. After failing her tribulation, she arrived in another world and shrank into a three-and-a-half-year-old child. Good news: She found her romance-obsessed great-niece, who had been missing for years!!! And she suddenly has a twenty-year-old top-tier star grandson??? Bad news: This is the world of a book, and her grandson is a cannon-fodder male supporting character who meets a tragic end. As the foil, Lin Feibai joins the male lead on the same parenting variety show. He looks cold and rebellious, but inside he's a shy, timid softie. The child assigned to him by the production team is afraid of him, and watching the two of them interact makes people frown... Trending stories about his bad temper, scowling, and beating up kids never stop, and halfway through the show, a child-protection organization even gets involved. By contrast, the male lead's heartwarming, playful daily life with his little sister wins countless fans. His image as a gentle, wonderful big brother becomes deeply ingrained in everyone's minds. After the show ends, the male lead's popularity and career skyrocket, while Lin Feibai develops severe depression and eventually jumps to his death. Lin Yunzhuo, the phoenix prodigy of the demon realm, looks at the shy boy politely peeling an apple. What do you mean, cannon fodder? Watch me defy fate and change his destiny. Let's do this!!! * The guest lineup for the smash-hit variety show Traveling with the Kids, Season Two, is announced, and the haters leap into action. [Lin Feibai taking care of kids? For real?] [Everyone knows he has a terrible temper. He even beat a teammate badly enough to put him in the hospital. What parent would trust him with their kid? Aren't they afraid he'll abuse the child?] On the first day of filming, the parents introduce themselves. It's a nightmare for the socially anxious. Guest One: "...My younger sister." Guest Two: "...My younger brother." Guest Three, Lin Feibai, is incredibly nervous. A soft, warm touch meets his trembling hand. He looks down and sees... A sweet little girl with rosy lips, bright white teeth, and the charm of a New Year painting doll stands tall and speaks boldly: "I'm Lin Yunzhuo. I came with my good grandson..." [Huh?] [Grand... grandson?] [This kid is so cute.] As everyone stares in confusion, Lin Feibai breaks into a cold sweat, but firmly clasps the little hand and nods hard. "Yeah, she's my grandma!" [A three-and-a-half-year-old grandma and a twenty-year-old grandson???] [The natural order has been turned upside down!!!] * During a task, the parents and children split up to collect ingredients. After spending ages fishing in the pond without catching a thing, the parents collapse on the ground, their heads spinning. Lin Feibai is no exception. In a daze, he sees a familiar figure in the distance and whispers faintly, "I... I think I see my grandma." The male lead, exhausted, says, "I think I see my great-grandma too..." Lin Yunzhuo: ... [Hahahahaha!] [You can see the genuine exasperation on the little girl's face. Wait, not little girl, little grandma.] [Your great-grandma didn't come, but his grandma really did!] Then Lin Yunzhuo rushes to the pond. With her soft little hands, she casually scoops up a grass carp weighing over fifteen pounds. The guests and viewers stare in shock: !!! "Come on, good grandson. I'll stew you some fish soup to build you up." Lin Yunzhuo glances over. That "rebellious and unruly" top-tier star dashes over in an instant, hoists all the food in one arm, picks up the fifteen-pound fish with the other, and trots along behind his grandma. The little girl walks ahead with her hands in her pockets, radiating an aura eight feet tall. The towering Lin Feibai's eyes sparkle as he gushes like a sweet, innocent fool: "Gran... Grandma, you were so cool just now!" [...Bad temper?] [Why is Lin Feibai so well-behaved? I can't!!!] [The little grandma is so cool!!!] Halfway through the show, Lin Yunzhuo and Lin Feibai become the most popular guests. Netizens dub them "the coolest and cutest grandma in history" and "Grandma's good, obedient grandson." Lin Yunzhuo: Huh??? Reader's guide: The story focuses on family bonds. The female lead has a love interest. She's a beautiful white dragon, gentle and virtuous, and excellent at cooking, sewing, and housework. Theme: Study hard and keep improving every day.
