Born into a Wealthy Family, but I'm Only the Second Son

[A background character protagonist eating the drama online + first-person narration + playing the fool while hiding a sharp edge] The wealthy have more schemes than you can shake a stick at, and the melodrama never ends. There’s a real heiress, a fake heiress, and naturally, a second daughter who barely gets noticed. He Zhaolin has a name that sounds like a man’s, but she’s the overlooked second daughter of a wealthy family. Her father doesn’t dote on her, her mother doesn’t love her, and her older sister doesn’t care for her. She’s been unwanted since the day she was born. She thought life among the rich would be dull, until one day, the top student at her school showed up and claimed she was the real heiress, while the domineering older sister in the family was the fake. He Zhaolin sat quietly on the stairs with a handful of melon seeds, watching them put on a show. When her biased mother wanted to keep the fake heiress, she spread her hands and played innocent. “I’ll go with Dad.” What a joke. She was only the second daughter, so of course she’d side with her rich father. But before the family drama was even over, the fake heiress’s fiancé showed up to join in, insisting on adding a romance scene about their unbreakable love, all while his eyes kept wandering toward the real heiress. The melon seeds in He Zhaolin’s hand suddenly lost their appeal. But as a dutiful younger sister, she still had to cheer on the fake heiress and her fake brother-in-law. Since she’d become part of their little game, she wasn’t going to miss a chance to play them herself. By the end of the show, the fiancé was booed offstage, and the fake heiress and her biased mother were thrown out. He Zhaolin spat out a melon seed shell and shouted, “What a show! Encore!”
