[Book Transmigration] [Redemption and Upbringing] [Both Leads Are Each Other's Only Partner] [Happy Ending]

Proud, cold swan with a callous heart VS poor, quiet, insecure boy

#She accidentally won over a different chosen one...#

1.

At twenty-four, Xiang Wan, the eldest daughter of the Xiang family, took over the family business. In just a year, she had established herself at the company, gained real power, and become a decisive leader.

After her death, rumors about her were everywhere. Everyone agreed that the eldest Miss Xiang was outstanding, but her taste in men was questionable.

In her previous life, Xiang Wan had devoted herself to raising poor boy Zhou Chengze into a rising business tycoon, giving him resources and sharing her connections. But it wasn't until she was dying that she realized she was living in a male-oriented novel.

Zhou Chengze was the overpowered male lead.

And she was Zhou Chengze's "tool to be cherished as his first love."

Her parents were devastated by her death and passed away one after another, while Zhou Chengze and his mother seized the Xiang family's billions in assets.

When Xiang Wan suffered a heart attack, Zhou Chengze and his childhood sweetheart were discussing their wedding date. Realizing they were having an affair, she slapped the scumbag across the face.

When she opened her eyes again, she was back at the poverty-relief site.

The poor boy's mother knelt before her in public, begging her to take her precious son to the city. Xiang Wan only sneered inwardly. Her gaze passed over the kneeling Zhou Chengze and landed on the "younger sister" behind him, a pitiful-looking girl in a pink padded jacket. "Her, then."

Xiang Wan thought she and the "little sister" she'd picked up by chance were close as real sisters. A few years later, though, her "little sister" hit puberty and her voice changed.

Staring at the "sister" before her, whose Adam's apple bobbed wildly, she opened her eyes in horror. "Where's the soft, sweet girl I raised? How are you a man?"

Chen Yan: "..."

2.

The scumbag Zhou Chengze was the chosen male lead in the book. Even without Xiang Wan's support, he had made it from a small mountain village to university. To get the Xiang family's assets as he had in his previous life, he made a heartfelt confession to Xiang Wan.

He didn't take her rejection seriously, convinced she would fall for him eventually. After all, he'd always been lucky.

That is, until he saw an entertainment news headline: "Shocking! Business tycoon Chen Yan's secret sweetheart is actually the heiress of the illustrious Xiang family!!"

The gossip-loving crowd frantically tagged Xiang Wan. Before she could respond, the usually indifferent Chen Yan sent shockwaves with a post: "My @Xiang Wan."

3.

Chen Yan, whom Xiang Wan had raised as her "little sister" in his youth, had grown into a devastatingly handsome man without her noticing. He also looked more and more like the business tycoon from her previous life.

She'd only picked him on a whim! How had she ended up finding the business world's next dark horse from her previous life?

She watched as Chen Yan established the foundations of his future business empire while still at university. She didn't expose his identity, quietly waiting for him to ask to leave and strike out on his own.

She never expected what came instead to be his "wolfish ambition".

"I don't want to call you big sister anymore."

"I want to be your lover. Is that okay?"

Xiang Wan: "I guess that would be okay..."

Bonus scene:

Chen Yan had been used to hardship since childhood and didn't know what it meant to hope for anything. Then one ordinary afternoon, a noble young lady like a swan descended from the sky, stepping onto the barren earth of Li Village. She pointed a slender finger at him. "Him, then."

Knowing that the young lady didn't like boys, he pretended to be her "little sister."

From that day on, Xiang Wan was the only light in his world, and the first person he fell in love with was her.

After he went back to wearing men's clothes, there wasn't a day he didn't wonder:

When would he finally get to be big sister's lover?

1.

Xia Ruirui saw Shen Yuqing again at the hospital entrance. They hadn't met in ten years, and his refined, aloof air made him seem unapproachable.

The poor boy from high school had transformed into a hugely popular esports streamer.

Only his sharp tongue seemed unchanged.

Shen Yuqing held a bouquet of flowers, but didn't look like he had come to visit her sincerely.

A mocking smile tugged at the man's lips as he spoke with his usual biting sarcasm. "What surgery are you having? I came to collect your body."

She kindly told him to go home, but that only made him angrier.

Xia Ruirui knew why he had come. Back in high school, she had always liked teasing him. During the years they sat together, he hadn't done everything she asked, but he'd indulged her plenty.

But on the night he confessed to her at their teachers' farewell banquet, she had humiliated him.

Now that she was in the hospital, it was only natural for him to come and laugh at her.

She never expected that after visiting her, he would linger in her hospital room and refuse to leave...

2.

Everyone who knew Shen, the famous streamer, said he could never be a love-struck fool. No one knew that the man they called Brother Shen had begged the person he loved, in a soft, humble voice, not to abandon him even after she humiliated him when he first confessed.

After Xia Ruirui broke up with him without warning, her name became completely forbidden. Only Shen Yuqing knew that he still loved her.

He still loved her terribly.

When he heard from a mutual friend that she was hospitalized, he canceled every livestream he had scheduled so he could look after her.

But after taking care of her day and night, she didn't even tell him when she was discharged?

3.

Even worse, after the heartless woman was discharged, the internet was flooded with scandalous news about Shen Yuqing. According to an anonymous woman, he was gay.

The famous streamer Shen didn't seem particularly bothered by the trending topic. He decided to sue immediately, only to be told that Xia Ruirui was the one who had spread the rumor.

He waved his hand and tossed the complaint his lawyers had drafted overnight into the trash. His team stared at him hopefully, but Shen Yuqing put on a strictly businesslike expression. "We can't let rumor-mongering go unchecked. I'll go settle the score with her myself."

The assistant who had witnessed the whole thing sneered. "Yeah, right. Believe that and you're a fool."

Bonus scene:

One night after they were married, neither of them could sleep, so they started a late-night heart-to-heart.

Xia Ruirui, now Mrs. Shen, clung to Shen Yuqing and asked him when he had first fallen for her.

He tried to change the subject again, until she turned over and straddled his waist, forcing him to look her in the eyes. Only then did he reluctantly tell her the truth.

"Long before you fell for me. The day you first walked into the classroom, I..."

"You what?"

He pressed his lips together and gazed at her for a long moment. Then he rolled over and pinned her beneath him.

"You've asked your question. Now it's my turn."

"What do you want to ask?"

"Does Mrs. Shen want a boy or a girl for baby number two?"

"..."
