You Call This a Prestigious Family?

Ji Huaiyin grew up poor and worked as a construction laborer to get by during college. At twenty-four, she successfully worked herself to death on a construction site.

She died, but not entirely.

When she opened her eyes again, she had somehow become one of Jiangcheng's top heiresses and returned to the age of eighteen. She was a winner in life, pure and simple.

Full of hope for her future, Ji Huaiyin sprang to her feet, ready to claim her life of luxury. Then her father brought her crashing back to earth with a single blow.

"Our family made its fortune laying bricks. We must never forget our roots." Ji Father smiled kindly as he handed her a familiar item. "Huayin, take good care of yourself on the construction site."

Ji Huaiyin stared at the yellow hard hat in her hands, the corner of her mouth twitching. Heh, at least it was pretty fancy.

What, did they figure out I transmigrated into someone else's body? Is Father actually my stepfather now?

At the construction site, Ji Huaiyin, covered in dust, sat expressionlessly to one side with a lunch box. A group of equally ragged young men gathered around her. Wearing gloves, they pulled business cards with gold trim from their worn work clothes and introduced themselves one after another:

"Hi, I'm the only son of the Xu family, the richest in Jiangbei."

"Hi, I'm the second son of the Cheng family, the biggest tycoons in Jiangnan."

You think business wars involve money flying everywhere and people casually tossing around two hundred million in a single sentence. In reality, business warfare means Lu Chu, who came in second in that day's bricklaying, sneaking the chicken cutlet from the lunch box of the person in first place. Then...

Ji Huaiyin, the first-place winner, stared him down and pointed at Lu Chu. "He's the young master of the Lu family, the overlords of Jiangzhong! Let's beat him up together!"

Lu Chu: What? You violent woman, put the brick down and stay away!

Ji Huaiyin felt she had a new beginning in life and couldn't just live off her family's wealth, so she planned to invest in something.

Then strange things began to happen:

She planned to build a shopping mall in the suburbs, but it fell through and she dug up an ancient tomb instead.

She tried to open a restaurant at the produce market, but that fell through and the place became a popular internet check-in spot.

She wanted to do charity work in a poor mountain region, but that fell through and she accidentally discovered a new variety of fruit.

For a while, the Ji family's lucky star was the talk of the town.

*

Someone let the secret slip, and all of Jiangcheng heard the story: the culprit behind the beloved young master of the Lu family ending up in the hospital was none other than Ji Huaiyin and the Ji family's ancestral hard hat.

The Lu family was furious! The whole family showed up at the Ji home and threw a fit, demanding an explanation.

They didn't want money or land. They had only one demand: the Ji family had to give them Ji Huaiyin as a bride for the Lu family!

Lu Chu scoffed. "Hmph, who'd want to marry her..."

Ji Huaiyin jumped three feet into the air. "You little chicken-stealing loser, you think I'd be interested in you?"

Lu's mother shoved aside the troublesome boy and smiled brightly. "If my youngest son isn't your type, why not consider someone else? Our eldest son is handsome, has eight-pack abs, and assets worth over a hundred million. Our second son is studying abroad, refined and cultured, with an air of otherworldly elegance. You can pick whichever one you like. If all else fails, one of them can marry into your family!"

Lu Chu: ??? Mom, I was wrong, Mom!
