The Real Heiress Is Still Putting on an Act, While I Return to the Island and Reel in the Crown Prince and Endless Fish

[Period Setting + Farming + Building a Fortune + Real and Fake Heiresses + Island Life + Beloved by Her Whole Family]

After freezing to death in a pigsty, Liang Mingyi was reborn at eighteen.

When the real heiress returned to the family, Liang Mingyi didn’t fight or argue. She calmly took her leave, asking only for a ticket to the island before walking away without hesitation.

Her new home on the island was poor but warm. Her father made a living repairing boats, while her mother preserved seafood to support the family.

Her taciturn eldest brother sharpened her shellfish-digging shovel. Her gentle second brother helped organize her aquaculture notes every night. Her stubborn third brother waited at the pier for her to come home every day.

The little repair shop always kept a light on for her.

Liang Mingyi worked hard raising seafood, drying the catch, and making shrimp paste, earning her first fortune through her own efforts.

Fresh seafood was shipped far and wide, and the once-quiet island grew more prosperous by the day. Her family’s life flourished along with it.

Just as she was thriving, her adoptive parents from the city came looking for her in a hurry.

Putting on airs as her elders, they pretended to care and offered to take her back to the city to enjoy a comfortable life. In truth, they coveted what she had achieved and wanted to control her life again.

Liang Mingyi saw through them at once and firmly refused, content to protect her little family and her business.

A six-foot-three, dark-skinned, rugged man at the pier always kept his eyes on her.

Unable to bear his staring any longer, she finally confronted him. Scratching his head, he smiled shyly. “Because you’re pretty.”

In her previous life, she had been lonely and miserable, with no one to care about her.

In this life, she would grow rich by the sea, be cherished by her family, and be adored by a rugged man. There was plenty of time. She could take things one step at a time.
