The Fake Heiress Climbs the Social Ladder, and CEO Gu Lets Her Flaunt Their Child

Xie Shiyi was once the most celebrated young lady of the Ji family, adored by her parents and engaged to Gu Chenglin, heir to a top-tier wealthy family.

Until her biological father revealed the truth: she was a fake heiress who had usurped the place of the real one.

The cold divorce papers arrived, and overnight she fell from the clouds into the mud.

To survive and pay the exorbitant medical bills, she bet everything on carefully arranging a night of passion with "the second young master of the Gu family." She succeeded in conceiving, only to hear the devastating news that the second young master, Gu Qixu, had drowned.

With nowhere else to turn, she clutched her only bargaining chip, "the second young master's posthumous child," and turned the tables, clawing her way back into the powerful Gu family.

Everything went as planned. The only person she had to watch out for was her former fiance, Gu Chenglin.

Gu Chenglin finally understood: that night, she had never been after a fleeting affair. She had wanted a child.

An ambitious woman, indeed... a perfect match for him.

His voice was low and seductive. "Gu Qixu is dead. Why not say... the child is mine?"

Xie Shiyi's gaze was as resolute as a blade. "I will never have a child for a man I don't love!"

He smiled, his expression chilling. Since that was the case... the secret of that night would never need to be revealed.

What he wanted was the child who carried his blood, not her.
