Yu Qingzhi had been the eldest daughter of the Yu family for twenty-four years when, one day, she was told she was a fake heiress who had been switched at birth.
The real heiress had grown up alongside a master of intangible cultural heritage. She was poised and excelled at music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
By comparison, Yu Qingzhi was mediocre at all four. Apart from her face, there was hardly anything about her that could measure up.
Yu's father and mother adored their real daughter. To help her establish herself in elite circles as quickly as possible and find a suitable marriage match, they came up with every possible scheme to get her onto a dating show for the rich. They even offered Yu Qingzhi five million to go on the show and play the foil to the real heiress.
At first, Yu Qingzhi flatly refused. She tried to imitate the tough, sweet heroine from a novel, but after working hard for three days, she gave in.
What nonsense about being strong and unyielding, or refusing food offered in contempt? She couldn't do it. She was much better at enjoying herself.
For the money, she decided to slack off on the show and did her best to play an uneducated, talentless pretty face.
She shook her head at the talent show and played dead during the bungee-jumping challenge.
She gave it her all in portraying a lazy, difficult, utterly unimpressive gold digger.
The real heiress, meanwhile, wowed everyone with her guzheng performance at the talent show. Though terrified of the bungee jump, she faced it bravely, and her divine tear went viral.
Yu Qingzhi thought she could play an obnoxious, money-hungry pretty face, collect her fee, and run. But who could have guessed?
She insulted people, and the male contestants brought her water: "Does your throat hurt? Go ahead and curse us some more!"
She slammed the door, and the audience applauded: "Don't slap the door, big sis. Slap me!"
She said she only loved money, and the male contestants said, "Perfect. We're all rich, and we're the best-looking guys among the rich."
Yu Qingzhi: ???
Weren't she and the show supposed to make her a difficult, money-grubbing girl everyone hated?
Why were the male contestants and viewers this season acting so unpredictably?!
The thorns on a bad woman's heart help her weed out the men willing to go through fire and water for her.

Here's a preview of my upcoming novel, Don't Love Me Only in Your Dreams
She schemed her way into a relationship with him.
Cheng Cheng had a love that left an indelible mark on her heart. No, it was more accurate to call it an open crush.
That open crush ended miserably.
She and the person she loved never spoke again.
In the years that followed, she transferred schools, dated someone new, broke up, and returned to being alone.
She went from a student in her youth to a wage slave at work.
Time passed, and just as she was about to forget him, he appeared in her dreams.
Again and again.
Out of nowhere, without warning.
Confessions, embraces, hand-holding, kisses, and even more outrageous things: they did it all in her dreams.
Some people say that if you keep dreaming about someone, it means they're thinking of you.
But Cheng Cheng believed another explanation more.
Dreaming of the same person meant you were fated to never be together,
and your dreams were the only way to use up the bond between you.
She and he truly were fated to never be together.
After dreaming once more about the man who had run through her entire youth, she thought:
She didn't want to see him only in her dreams anymore.
Who cared whether they were fated to be together? She trusted herself more than fate.
There were many ways to find someone. All she needed was a name and a memory,
and she could track him down.
-
On the day Jiang Zhi turned twenty-seven, she made a wish.
That night, he appeared in her dream.
Thirty-six schemes for a scheming woman to win her man
She had thought she was the only one scheming and forcing her way into his life,
without realizing that fate had ordained it, and he was doing the same.
Reader's guide

A man who seems one way on the surface but is secretly a wolf in sheep's clothing, and a woman who walks into the trap and invites the wolf in.
A little story about a gloomy office worker × a sunny, scheming man.
Theme: Loving yourself is life's most important lesson
Thanks for the limited fee! This book has a completely female protagonist! I totally agree with many of the points! I fell in love with the author's big soul!
I feel that the part where Xiao He looks at Xiao Yu in a daze is very suitable for the recent popularity of DY. I still remember how my heart fluctuated when I first saw you. That song is so exciting! [Orange Candy] Got it
The fact that such a big accident happened and it took so long shows that the program did not prepare for the danger and the program will be stopped. Xiao Yu and Xiao Chu have suffered a great crime 🙏 😭 Xiao Lin, you have suffered too
Happy birthday to Xiao Yu! Today is a good day, and tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival of the Year [Rose][Spreading Flowers]
Baby, can our ex brother also be on the table? [Spread flowers][spread flowers]
Okay, baby, take a good rest [Spread Flowers][Spread Flowers] and won't forget you.
Hahahahahaha sister, you are my only sister
Xiao Yu and Yu's mother are like an East Asian mother and daughter, the father who disappeared, and the mother and daughter who don't love enough and hate but can't. Behind Xiao Yu's seeming ease, she actually has a background of longing for love but fear of entering into intimate relationships. But the amazing thing is that after growing up in this kind of environment, Xiao Yu gives people the feeling of being a very good lover. She looks beautiful to anyone standing under the cherry blossom tree, and her love is warm to everyone. It's so rare. She has a very mature and sound personality. I feel that if I fall in love with her, I will be loved well. Good Xiaoyu! 🥺
Hasn't the baby's meal been put out yet?
