---Blurb
Given another life, Lin Luoxi won't feel inferior about being an adopted daughter, and she won't put up with people for the sake of fake affection.
She'll work hard to spend money, work hard to earn money, study hard, and happily be the pampered little darling of her wealthy adoptive mother!!!
Only after she died did Lin Luoxi learn that she was the protagonist of a book.
As the protagonist, she didn't get a happy ending. Her whole life was miserable, and she died a tragic death. Because she was the tragic heroine of a melodramatic family saga!
Looking back on her life, Lin Luoxi was heartbroken and furious. She wanted to smack her past self. She had money, looks, and love. Why on earth had she insisted on taking the tragic route?
As the heroine of a tragic melodrama, she was hurt by all kinds of people and forgave all kinds of people.
With her warm, saintly heart, she successfully changed everyone for the better. Just kidding, of course.
Why would the people who hurt you change their ways and become better just because you magnanimously forgave them? At best, they were making a temporary, insignificant concession.
A tragic melodrama can force a happy ending, but real life won't stop at the book's happy conclusion.
This time, Lin Luoxi tore up the tragic script. She dressed in luxury brands, crushed everyone and everything in her path, held her head high as she built her career, and cleaned out the trash around her along the way.
Her grandmother, who favored boys over girls; her greedy, cruel uncle; her two-faced cousin; her hypocritical, mama's-boy husband...
Even the most saintly person has limits. After the truth came out, Lin Luoxi finally woke up and smiled faintly. "I'm not here to slap you in the face. I just want to send you all to hell."
Jiang Li: The girl he'd always kept in his heart slowly grew up. She stopped calling him, stopped messaging him, and eventually got a boyfriend. She even grew distant from him because she was afraid her boyfriend would get jealous.
Heh...
Beneath the haze of heavy fog, in the white, quiet room of a sanatorium, he sealed away everything connected to her. From then on, ice formed around his heart.
But then, one day, the girl called him again and asked how he was doing...
The heiresses of Yuncheng were all talking about Jiang Li, the mysterious heir to the Jiang family, who was about to return from overseas.
Rumor had it Jiang Li was handsome and refined, aloof and self-possessed, an icy, abstinent heartthrob no one could get close to.
Rumor had it Jiang Li was brilliant and accomplished for his age, and that he'd returned to the country this time to...
There were plenty of rumors. Even people who had actually met Jiang Li were curious and wanted to invite him out to see for themselves. But Young Master Jiang claimed he was busy. After finally returning, he wouldn't even show his face.
What was he so busy with?
The passing Young Master Qin casually chimed in, a liquor bottle in hand. "He went back to school!"
"...??"
A month later, as people were gossiping again, Young Master Qin passed by once more and chimed in with a look of disdain. "Tsk, making tea for love!"
Everyone: "...???"
Lin Luoxi's childhood friend Jiang Li, who had lived abroad for years, was back.
As an outstanding university student invited by the school, Jiang Li stood onstage in a dazzling spotlight, giving a speech about his study methods to the high school sophomores. Countless fiery gazes surrounded him, but his cool, deep eyes remained fixed on Lin Luoxi below the stage.
After the event, Jiang Li didn't leave the school. He even became Lin Luoxi's deskmate.
Lin Luoxi: "?? Auntie said you're in university."
Jiang Li: "Yeah. I'm a senior doing an internship."
Lin Luoxi: "...So why are you in a high school classroom?"
Jiang Li turned his head, his cool gaze deep and alluring. "I heard you needed a tutor. I'm applying for the job, and I'm available all day."
Lin Luoxi: "..."
Jiang Li smiled faintly. "Your performance will determine my internship grade."
The students in Class 6, Grade 11, gradually noticed that Lin Luoxi, the pretty but unfashionable girl in their class, had started quietly showing off her wealth.
The bag she used to carry snacks had an LV logo on it.
Someone in class: "She probably paid a fortune for a paper bag so she could show off. Why doesn't she buy a real purse?"
One day, she came to school in a luxury car.
"Someone probably just felt sorry for her in the rain!"
On the way home from an outing outside school, a handsome guy stopped his car and picked her up.
"Tsk, keeping a rich man at such a young age."
"Um... Actually, I've seen her leave a villa community."
"...She must be working there as a housekeeper."
At last, the famous female tycoon of Yuncheng affectionately took her hand and introduced her to someone as her daughter.
"So what? She's only adopted."
Later, as President Lin showed off and spoiled her daughter in every possible way, everyone cried out, "Please adopt me too, just like that!"
