The Fake Heiress Makes a Comeback

As the daughter of a wealthy family, Liang Shi grows up surrounded by luxury and lives like a princess.

Then one day, she learns that she was switched at birth.

She and the real heiress trade places, and she goes from being a rich, beautiful young lady to a poor girl from a small town.

To keep the wheels of fate from crushing her, Liang Shi has no choice but to sell old things, offer tutoring classes, and even set up a food stall at the night market. After all, nothing matters more than making money.

One day, her childhood sweetheart appears in front of her stall.

Liang Shi grows up with her childhood sweetheart, and their elders arrange for them to be betrothed while they are still young.

She likes him very much and wants to be around him every day, but he doesn't seem to like her much.

Liang Shi: Doesn't matter. He's going to be mine sooner or later. I'll just take my time pursuing him.

Later, as she watches her life veer farther and farther away from his, Liang Shi realizes she can no longer reach that moonlight in her heart.

Even if he's standing right in front of her stall, he probably wouldn't recognize her anymore.

As a boy, Chen Chen thinks of Liang Shi as a constraint, a shackle, a clingy nuisance he can't get rid of.

Only after she disappears does he realize that traces of heart-fluttering love are everywhere in the familiar days of their youth.

Much later, he runs into his childhood sweetheart at a bustling night market. She's hard at work at a food stall, and is already a far cry from the wealthy young lady she used to be.

The world is vast, and we meet countless people, but in my heart, no matter how many years pass, you will always be the first person I ever loved.

I will find you again.

A willful, spirited yet resilient heroine x an elegant, doting husband who's a peerless strategist and will gladly trick anyone for his wife
