[Real and Fake Treasured Child] [Feel-Good Revenge] [Regret and Redemption] [Play the pig to eat the tiger]
Xia Qianqian was born into the world as the real treasured child, only to have her scumbag father try to give her away as a child bride to a brain-damaged man the moment she was born.
Two of her brothers died and one was crippled. After her mother's dowry was stolen by a concubine, her scumbag father casually cast them out.
The concubine held the fake treasured child and looked down at her mother. "My child is a treasured blessing who can bring prosperity to the household. Yours is a curse, fit only to be my child's maid."
Her grandmother's eyes brimmed with scorn. "Your child is a curse, a perfect match for that brain-damaged man."
Her scumbag father's eyes were full of disgust. "Every child you've borne is useless. You don't deserve to be the mistress of the Xiahou household!"
The novel's heroine gloated at her. "Your third brother's top scholar title will go to my third brother. Your second brother's place as the merchant world's top talent will go to my second brother. Your eldest brother's top military scholar title will go to my eldest brother. And your mother's place as mistress will go to my mother."
So the novel's heroine had stolen the identity of the real treasured child and seized the destinies of her mother and brothers.
Xia Qianqian sneered.
She made two little "ah-ah" sounds from her swaddling clothes, and birds flocked in to peck the eyes out of those scoundrels.
She stretched out her chubby little hand and summoned lightning, striking her scumbag father and the concubine until they were burnt to a crisp.
Only later did they realize that Xia Qianqian was the real treasured child!
But by then, she had already been driven out of the Xiahou household.
Watching Xia Qianqian lead her family to wealth and success while they were left miserable, clinging to the fake treasured child, her scumbag father and grandmother were stricken with regret.
Scumbag father and grandmother: "Our treasured child, we were wrong! Hurry home with us!"
