The Fake Heiress Is Back

She went from a pampered heiress to an adopted daughter despised by everyone. She lost her noble status, her childhood sweetheart and fiancé was stolen away, and even the bright future she once had was cut short. It didn’t matter. None of it mattered. Now that Si Jiu had returned, she finally understood: what was hers could never be taken away, no matter how hard others tried, and what wasn’t hers could never be kept, no matter how hard she fought. Watch as she turns her wretched fate around and plays a terrible hand into a winning life. (This novel features supernatural arts, spirit communication, antique appraisal, and jewelry design.) A collection of Si Jiu’s mottoes: “I love seeing how much you hate me, how badly I get under your skin, and yet there’s nothing you can do about it.” She tilted her head slightly and looked down at them from above, a brazen smile playing on her lips, bright and unmistakable. “I’ve never thought there was anything wrong with jealousy or resentment. They’re what drive me to improve. If one day I’m no longer jealous of you, then I’m sorry, but it means I’ve surpassed you.” She admitted it without a trace of shame, her dark, lustrous eyes blazing like the brilliant sun. “What’s mine is mine. Even if I have to use every trick and scheme, even if I have to fight until we’re both battered and bleeding, I will never back down!” Her face was deathly pale, and her beautiful, diamond-shaped lips pressed into a thin line.
