The Fake Heiress Is Rewriting the Plot in Real Time

[A preview of my next novel, Getting Too Close: blurb below. Please add it to your collection!]

Updated daily, tentatively at 3 p.m.

A lofty, aloof older brother who falls from his pedestal + a clear-headed heroine who loves money and herself + a younger brother who's a green-tea peacock showing off

Qiao Weishuang transmigrated into a book as the fake heiress in a story about a real and fake heiress.

She had plenty of handsome male friends, but they only loved her money. She also had a handsome, wealthy husband, but he had a split personality, and their marriage was a business arrangement.

According to the original plot, jealousy would drive her to try to run over the real heiress, only for her to crash into a tree and die.

Looking at her beautiful face in the mirror, she decided to stay away from men, get along with the real heiress, and cherish her life.

First, she needed to get the handsome men who'd come to the house for a party to leave. Her excuse was that her husband, who had a mental illness, was about to come home.

As she saw the last one out, he smiled and said, "It's me, your mentally ill husband."

She found the real heiress ahead of time, became her best friend, and made an opportunity for her to reunite with her adoptive parents. From then on, they lived happily as a family of four.

She asked her husband for a divorce, but both his personalities objected.

Her bargain-bin husband's two personalities were complete opposites. One wore immaculate suits and had a cool, detached air; the other dressed casually and was cheerful.

The primary personality loosened his tie, his expression dark. "I've already been letting my little brother come out often. Why do you still want a divorce?"

The secondary personality took her hand and slowly traced it over his eyes, lips, collarbone, and chest, stopping at his waist.

"Sister-in-law, even if you hate my brother, he works during the day, so you won't see him. I'll be around the rest of the time. I'm considerate and good-looking. Won't you stay married?"

But she didn't hate the primary personality at all!

She'd thought he just had a split personality, but it turned out that the cool, suited-up executive personality was an obsessive, brooding stalker, while the cheerful college-boy personality was a cunning green-tea peacock.

Little scene:

Later on.

Having a husband with two personalities seemed pretty good.

But could they please stop messaging her to insult each other? And stop switching personalities to ask her to settle their arguments?

They even needed separate bedrooms, with the primary and secondary personalities taking turns by appointment. She got to decide who could stay the night each day.

Reader's guide:

1. The heroine is not a virgin; the hero is.

2. The male lead has a split personality. They get jealous of each other and fight constantly.

(The secondary personality is a figment of the male lead's imagination.)

3. The original male lead may be portrayed negatively, but the real heiress absolutely will not.

4. No women fighting over men. The men will compete for the woman.

--Getting Too Close blurb--

·Reunited after years apart / secret crush / a sweet, oblivious girl tames a tsundere puppy

A slow-burn, exceptionally oblivious high school girl × a tsundere, pure-hearted high school boy who convinces himself she's in love with him

After ten years away, Zhang Lingxiu transferred back to her hometown to attend school.

One day, someone offered her a complete set of Five Years of College Entrance Exams, Three Years of Simulations if she would observe Shen Xingheng.

Zhang Lingxiu couldn't resist the temptation and agreed.

Shen Xingheng had handsome features, long legs, and broad shoulders. His simple school uniform gave him a carefree, youthful air, and he was widely recognized as Jiangcheng No. 1 High School's campus heartthrob.

As Shen Xingheng's classmate, Zhang Lingxiu had an excellent vantage point.

She began observing him openly, recording and summarizing her findings in a notebook, then handing it in every Saturday afternoon.

Two months later, Shen Xingheng stopped her and asked plaintively, "Aren't you secretly in love with me? Why did you suddenly start looking at someone else?"

It turned out he'd accidentally found her draft notebook, filled with details of his daily life.

To keep her secret, she apologized and said, "Secret crushes are unpredictable. I could like this person today and someone else tomorrow."

Shen Xingheng looked so shocked he almost cried.

-

She was reunited with the childhood enemy who'd bullied him in kindergarten.

Zhang Lingxiu liked peace and quiet, but Shen Xingheng hovered around her every day, making annoying noises, only to discover she'd long since forgotten him.

When he found out Zhang Lingxiu had a secret crush on him, a brilliant revenge plan came to mind.

He'd make her fall madly in love with him, then reject her harshly when she confessed.

He patiently laid the bait and waited for her to bite, only for her to fall for someone else.

He thought Zhang Lingxiu was just fickle. Later, he realized she had no heart at all.

Her secret crush was fake. She'd only gotten close to him for a few exam-prep books.

Shen Xingheng used this secret to blackmail Zhang Lingxiu into continuing to observe him and keep looking at him.

But it still wasn't enough. He wanted her to like him.
