The Youngest Daughter in a Wealthy Blended Family

On the first day after transmigrating into a book, Ji Jie watched her mother wipe away tears and hold her hand. “My sweet girl, trust me. This time, it'll really be different.”

Completely bewildered, she followed her mother into a mansion, only to discover that she'd become the stepsister of the heroine in a melodramatic coming-of-age novel. They had different mothers and different fathers.

As the heroine's foil, she was the opposite of every good quality: taking over someone else's home, throwing her weight around under someone else's protection, enjoying luxuries she hadn't earned... Every description fit her perfectly.

Worse, there were more than just the two girls in this blended family.

Her successful eldest brother would crush her financially, and her school bully of a brother, who was in the same grade and class as her, would ruin her social life. The male lead saw her as a lunatic and thought even her throwing herself at him was disgusting.

Her ending was to have her reputation dragged through the mud, then be sent abroad by her coldly indifferent parents to get her out of the way.

Ji Jie let out a long sigh. Let it all go to hell.

She'd study hard and leave the country. Wouldn't that be enough?

College applications were a major decision. When the family meeting began, everyone had a clear plan for their own future, but they couldn't agree on who would accompany Ji Jie to college.

The man sitting at the head of the table in place of her father smiled without a word. In his heart, he'd already planned a hundred bright futures for her, waiting only for her to choose one of her own free will.

Ji Jie: ? Weren't they supposed to send me away to avoid bad luck?

Huo Zhenyan had spent most of his life as an upright, principled man. He'd never imagined that he would develop a secret relationship with a girl from outside the family.

He was even the one lying awake night after night, longing to be loved.

A low-battery, quiet, scholarly girl x a controlling, domineering older man

Both leads are adults from the start. The leads aren't registered in the same household, and there is no romance while they are related.

The so-called “System” is foreshadowing and serves a purpose. Please stop complaining about it.

Everything mentioned in the blurb will appear in the story and is important to the plot. This isn't a scam, so please don't start swearing just because something hasn't shown up in the first few chapters.

Also, bonus chapters 4 and 5 in the daily-life series include pregnancy and childbirth...

I can't keep adding warnings for every little thing people might need to know. Just how many potential triggers are there in this world?! If you're easily bothered, please don't read it! Thanks.

Next upcoming book: "The Finnish Distance"

The most absurd thing in the world is having a one-night stand with your crush and then...

experiencing morning sickness.

Fang Zhi had loved someone for many years, from her youth through to becoming a mature, independent adult. She worked hard to seize every opportunity and gradually make her way to Zhou Mingdai's side.

She knew there was an enormous gulf between their status and position. All she wanted was to see him often, without even needing to talk to him. She understood the rules of having a secret crush: the person you loved must never find out.

Even after a twist of fate led to a one-night stand, she treated it as a dream. When morning came, she went right back to keeping a safe distance and quietly getting on with her work and life.

But late one sleepless night, the man who should have belonged in that dream appeared beneath her apartment building and stood there for a long time.

“I can't begin to tell you how much I've missed you.”

*

The grind of office life numbed her. Only filming dance videos at home gave her a moment to unwind. The comments section was always flooded with people jokingly calling her “Mom.”

Fang Zhi never imagined that one day her crush would see them too.

Even less did she imagine her crush would become her boyfriend.

He would even scroll through her videos and like them one by one before bed, then ask if he could see the live version :)

They say Finns are reserved and tend to maintain considerable social distance as a matter of politeness. The boundaries they establish that way feel both distant and comfortable.

Zhou Mingdai had no idea that even though he slept beside her every night, he was still supposed to maintain that polite distance.
