I'm Done Being the Hated One in This Rich Family [Reborn]

Upcoming novel: I, the Only Human, a Frail National Treasure. Please add it to your favorites below!

Tang Jianxi was born into a wealthy family in her previous life, but died young and met a tragic end.

Her mother died when she was fourteen. After seven years away, she returned home to find her scumbag father living happily with his family of five. Her adopted brothers were billionaires and CEOs, while Tang Jianxi had no money, no power, no one who cared about her, and was hated by everyone.

She pinned her only hope on Zong Lin, never imagining that once he reached the top, he would turn against her and betray her for his rivals.

So she chose the most decisive way to end it all. When she opened her eyes again, she had been reborn ten years in the past.

This time, Tang Jianxi decided to make Zong Lin's archenemy, Shang Ao, a top-tier star and grind Zong Lin into the dirt.

If she had no money or power, then she would work hard to take back everything that belonged to her.

When her scumbag father's family brought out a list of eligible partners and pressured her to marry, Tang Jianxi said, "I like them all, as long as they're willing to marry into the family."

Her eldest and second eldest brothers looked down on her and despised her. No matter. Tang Jianxi let her abilities do the talking:

"Big Brother, resign. I'll be the CEO of Tangsheng Entertainment."

"Second Brother, retire. It's time I took over the automobile company."

The mastermind behind the scenes had seized her mother's jewelry business. Tang Jianxi said, "You stole someone else's nest. You think you're fit to claim it?"

As she rose step by step and gained many companions to fight alongside her, she grew from a lonely orphan into an entrepreneur worth hundreds of billions, beating her scumbag father's family into the ground. When even her grandfather saw her as a threat and tried to stop her, Tang Jianxi refused to back down. "Grandfather, the Tang family owes me for all these years. Pay me back with Tang Real Estate."

Later, Zong Lin wept and begged to get back together, while the entire Tang family knelt and pleaded for Tang Jianxi's forgiveness and affection. She didn't even look back. "Too late."

What Shang Ao's fans think of him: His singing strikes straight to the soul, he's a master of both composing and songwriting, and he has no scandals, so his career will never crash. This hidden gem of a singer is a sure bet! Protecting the one you cherish is everyone's responsibility.

Shang Ao has someone he cherishes, too.

At first, when Tang Jianxi signed him, he thought she had ulterior motives. Later, he became a top-tier star, while she climbed higher and higher, drawing more and more attention.

But Shang Ao dreamed of getting closer to Tang Jianxi, his manager and boss. He didn't just want to protect her. He wanted her for himself.

One night, a popular blogger's secret account, named #SecretlyInLoveWithMyBeloved, posted a new note:

If this gets over ten thousand likes, I'll confess.

Tang Jianxi, who quietly followed the account in her spare time, saw it before bed. It had 9,999 likes, so she gave it a boost to push it over ten thousand and left a comment: Good luck.

The next second, two new messages popped up on her screen.

Shang Ao: I like you.

[Thanks, I confessed. Waiting for your reply.]

Tang Jianxi: ???

A reader's guide:

1. This is a fictional setting, very fictional. The main plot follows the female lead's rise, with a little family infighting and a small amount of showbiz. The leads are exclusive and devoted to each other. (Gender-swapped version) The female lead has the male lead's script, and the male lead has the female lead's script.

2. Both leads are reborn. After being reborn, Zong Lin's pursuit of his ex becomes a true road to ruin. There are reasons behind his betrayal in their previous lives, but he still won't win her back.

3. The female lead isn't a good person in the traditional sense. Her morality is about average.

--Upcoming novel: I, the Only Human, a Frail National Treasure--

Panda keeper Ruan Zhu transmigrates.

She lands in a different world where technological innovation and lush greenery flourish side by side, and the land is full of black-and-white furry national treasures, pandas. She becomes...

The only human in the Panda Kingdom, a frail one at that?

Ruan Zhu's arrival sends shockwaves through the Panda Kingdom, shaking the entire nation.

The panda citizens submit petitions, begging to have Ruan Zhu declared a national treasure and cared for properly with the whole nation's resources.

They say the pandas were so enthusiastic that day that after they left, the ground was covered in sharp claw marks, crumbled three inches deep, with rocks flying everywhere.

Ruan Zhu is stunned. Good things like this just fall from the sky?

From then on, she lives the lavish life of a national treasure cared for by pandas...

The pandas: "Her skin is so delicate. Put down twenty layers of duck-down quilts and replace all her bedding with velvet!"

Ruan Zhu: ...T-twenty layers?! S-stop, claws!

The pandas: "She's so tiny, and she eats so little. Let's give her a meal every hour!"

Barrels of milk big enough for Ruan Zhu to jump in and bathe, bamboo-shoot cakes taller than she is, bamboo-shoot cookies, bamboo-shoot steamed buns, apples, bananas, grapes, and carrots, all a hundred times bigger than normal...

Ruan Zhu: ...Are you feeding a pig? Even a pig would think this is ridiculous!

The pandas: "She lives alone in a little thousand-square-meter house and sleeps in a tiny hundred-square-meter bed. She must be so lonely."

Ruan Zhu: What kind of heavenly retirement is this? I could borrow five hundred more years from Heaven!

Until one day...

The Panda Kingdom's supreme leader came to see her, transformed into a handsome young man, and gently yet firmly started unfastening her silk dress.

Ruan Zhu: W-what are you doing?! I'm the only human, a frail national treasure. I'll perform for you, but I won't sell myself!

Some personal worldbuilding: This other world is full of pandas, and its plants and animals have all mutated. Only a very small number of pandas can take human form. Technology is advancing rapidly, and the world has everything except humans.

In the first half, the pandas look after Ruan Zhu. In the second half, Ruan Zhu looks after the pandas.
