An ultra-rich, doted-on biological heiress, a System that treats you like less than human, a fake-heiress sister who dotes on her younger sister, and an incredibly gentle arranged-marriage partner who showers her with money
After discovering she isn’t Factory Director Lin’s biological daughter, unlucky Lin Wanting hears a woman’s voice, like one coming from a radio, speaking inside her head: 【Outstanding Entrepreneur Development System test account 001 activated】
【From this moment on, you are forbidden from voluntarily paying for anything. If you insist on spending money, the System will punish you.】
At the time, she is waiting at the entrance to the compound for her biological parents to come and get her. Hearing the voice in her head, she simply buys two buns from a roadside stall and eats them while she waits, paying it no mind.
【System detected Host spending 20 cents. Punishment begins in 30 seconds.】
She still doesn’t take it seriously. She looks around the breakfast shop but can’t see a radio anywhere.
【Countdown: 30, 29, 28… 3, 2, 1. Punishment begins.】
Suddenly, it feels as if countless ants are gnawing at Lin Wanting’s legs. Her strength vanishes, and she crashes to her knees. The two buns roll out of her hands toward the roadside, where a black Audi runs them over.
Then it runs them over again. A woman gets out and rushes over to Lin Wanting, weeping uncontrollably. “Our precious girl hasn’t even met us yet, and she’s already kneeling. My poor girl…”
Lin Wanting kneels there with her legs numb, meeting her biological mother for the first time as scalding tears roll down her cheeks.
Lin Wanting weeps so bitterly she could move heaven and earth: I can’t even spend 20 cents! Dad gave me so much money, and I haven’t even spent any of it!

The real daughter of the Sheng family is back. Sheng Qili has already prepared to leave the company and the Sheng family, but when she sees her biological younger sister, glittering with gold, covered in jewelry, and wearing a pretty little cake-style dress, the girl clings to her arm and cries, “Sis, could you not give me money? Could you come get a perm with me instead? I also want to buy a few pairs of bell-bottoms. I saw a really beautiful Swiss watch.”
“Please, big sis.” Lin Wanting’s eyes brim with tears, and she looks utterly pitiful.
Sheng Qili changes her mind.
As a fake heiress, making it to her current position in Sheng Group is already a gift from fate. She has only one little sister. What’s wrong with spoiling her a bit?

Zong Zhao is engaged to a daughter of the Sheng family. Though he has never met her, he has always remembered that he has a fiancée. From childhood, he has been disciplined and proper, keeping himself chaste.
On the day he returns to the mainland, he goes to the import-export department store to buy a few changes of clothes and daily necessities. There, he encounters a poor girl.
She’s dressed in splendid clothes, yet squats in a corner of the store, crying as she stuffs ice cream into her mouth. Zong Zhao walks over, just about to ask what’s wrong, when the girl suddenly springs up, startling him.
She shoves the ice cream in her hand into Zong Zhao’s stunned grasp. Her eyes light up with surprise. “Huh? It doesn’t hurt?”
Then she takes the ice cream back, makes a pained face, and puts it in his hand again.
The girl presses her lips together bashfully, then smiles, revealing two little canine teeth. “Thanks.” Then she leans over and eats the ice cream in Zong Zhao’s hand.
For days afterward, Zong Zhao can’t get the girl out of his head. He thinks he may have emotionally cheated, so he decides to visit the Sheng family and discuss breaking off the engagement.
But just as he says the words, Zong Zhao sees the girl he’s been thinking about for days, the ice-cream girl, coming downstairs in the Sheng family home. She’s the Sheng family’s heiress, the very woman he just broke off his engagement to!
Reader’s guide:
1. A long, detailed romance, with all kinds of relationships: family, friendship, and love. The male lead is much bigger than the female lead. It’s an arranged marriage that turns into love, though the wedding comes later. The male lead is rich, handsome, and devoted entirely to the heroine. He’s completely inexperienced.
2. 【Important】A slice-of-life story with original worldbuilding. It’s not about a powerful heroine, not a strong-female-lead story, and not a rags-to-riches story: the heroine lies flat and money comes to her. It’s not a gritty, face-slapping power fantasy either; it’s a sweet romance. 【If you criticize the story or author for not being those things, your comments will be firmly rejected.】

A blind, kindhearted, beautiful, honest younger sister × a despicable, shameless, fragile and broken demon dragon who lies through his teeth and pretends to be her older brother
Zhao Lingjiao and Zhao Tingbai are the odd family of Huqiao Village. The younger sister, Zhao Lingjiao, is blind, while her older brother, Zhao Tingbai, is deaf and mute. Their early years are hard, and after both their parents pass away, they have only each other to rely on.
The villagers help look after them, and their lives become a little less difficult. Zhao Lingjiao thinks she could spend the rest of her life in such peaceful circumstances.
Then, one day, an earthquake strikes somewhere nearby, and Huqiao Village is lightly affected. Zhao Lingjiao never sees her brother return, and no villagers come by for her to ask what happened.
About four or five days later, she hears a commotion at the door. Zhao Lingjiao stumbles outside and brings her brother home, covered in injuries. She washes the blood from him, feeds him soup, and applies medicine, caring for him attentively. After he’s had some time to recover, he’s actually able to speak. Delighted, Zhao Lingjiao works even harder in the medicinal herb fields.
If only she could see, too.
Her brother’s voice is gentle and pleasant. Once he recovers, their life becomes even better than before.
Zhao Lingjiao says that an old woman in the village, Granny Zhao Huan, has a kind and gentle voice. She grows lots of mushrooms and often brings some over, but Zhao Lingjiao hasn’t seen her in a while.
The next day, Granny Zhao Huan arrives with mushrooms.
Zhao Lingjiao says that Zhao Niu, a young man at the east end of the village, raises ducks that lay so many eggs his family can’t eat them all, so he brings some over for the siblings. She hasn’t seen him in a while either.
The next day, Zhao Niu arrives with a basket of duck eggs.
Life seems to have returned to normal.
But her brother says that if she wants to see, she’ll have to do something more intimate with him. For the first time, Zhao Lingjiao and her brother kiss, and they touch one another beneath their clothes.
The next day, however, her brother is gone.

After being sealed away for a thousand years, the demon dragon senses the seal weakening one day. He lets out a mighty roar, breaks free, and soars into the heavens, but this alerts the great cultivation families, who join forces to seal him again.
After a world-shaking battle between the immortals and the dragon, all living things lie in ruin. Wounded, the demon dragon falls into a village, which has been struck by the battle and has no survivors.
He finds a thatched cottage that looks mostly intact and pushes open the courtyard gate. A girl, radiant as the moon in a pale yellow dress, catches his eye.
He watches her warily, but she seems unable to see. Stumbling, she hurries to the doorway and reaches out to touch his face, softly asking, “Is that you, Brother?”
From then on, he takes Zhao Tingbai’s identity, Zhao Tingbai’s name, and Zhao Tingbai’s younger sister.
