The Adopted Daughter of a Tycoon Family Gives Up

Xu Qianqian transmigrates into a wealthy-family novel as the villainous adopted daughter.

The original Xu Qianqian was adopted as a child by the top-tier Gu family.

Her status as an adopted daughter always made her feel out of place among the rich, yet she couldn't help competing with the other wealthy heirs. Thus began her exhausting life of striving.

As a child, she pushed herself in her studies. As an adult, she got caught up in the power struggles of the wealthy and was manipulated into trying to seize someone else's inheritance.

Eventually, she even made a move on the male lead, the eldest son of the Gu family, hoping to get into his bed. He put a stop to her for good.

After transmigrating, Xu Qianqian decides to give up and do nothing.

There's no way she's going to keep competing.

She's just an adopted daughter. Why put herself through all that? Isn't it better to lounge around the wealthy household without a care until she's an adult?

So while the other rich kids are busy attending all kinds of tutoring classes,

Xu Qianqian sprawls on the sofa with her legs crossed, snacking on fruit and treats while binge-watching popular dramas.

When people with an agenda sneer at her, saying, "A pheasant shouldn't dream of becoming a phoenix,"

Xu Qianqian just shrugs. "Being a pheasant is fine. Why do I have to become a phoenix?"

Not long after...

Xu Qianqian suddenly realizes something is off.

Why are her adoptive parents treating her better and better, as if she were their own daughter?

Why has her rich younger brother become her little shadow, constantly saying he'll make money to support her?

Why do her other wealthy relatives keep shoving money at her at the slightest excuse?

The only one who seems to dislike her more and more as they grow up is Gu Beiran, the eldest son of the Gu family and the male lead of the original novel.

One moment he complains that she doesn't act like a girl, and the next he thinks playing around with the young boy next door is distracting her from her studies...

Strange. They used to get along just fine.

According to the original plot, when she turns eighteen, the original Xu Qianqian is supposed to be manipulated into making trouble and fighting for the family fortune.

But this time, Xu Qianqian proactively distances herself from the family and asks to establish her own household registration.

Her wealthy adoptive parents vehemently object: "No! Qianqian, you're our own daughter."

Her rich younger brother looks at her with tearful eyes. "Sis, you don't want your little brother anymore?"

Just then, Gu Beiran speaks up. "A separate household registration? I think that's fine."

Xu Qianqian: "..."

So much for close sibling bonds. What an ungrateful, impossible-to-warm-up male lead!

But just as Xu Qianqian is preparing to leave the Gu household in the middle of the night with her little bundle,

Gu Beiran blocks her in a corner. "Qianqian, I don't want to spend my whole life being only your brother."
