I Cut My Hair and Ties with My Family. Now They Finally Understand, but I Will Never Forgive Them

[The whole family faces a reckoning] [A contrast between two brides who switch marriages] Jiang Zhinian was a noble young lady carefully raised by an aristocratic clan. Skilled in every art and deft in her dealings, she learned on the day of her coming-of-age ceremony that she was a fake heiress who had been switched at birth. In her previous life, she did everything she could for her family. She helped her elder brother navigate the political arena, managed household affairs for her mother, and made the Jiang family wealthy and famous. Yet the Jiang family used everything she had earned to pave the way for their biological daughter: they sought out renowned teachers for her, arranged beauty treatments to keep her radiant, spent lavishly to build her reputation, and made her the most celebrated female talent in the capital. Everyone said Jiang Zhinian was greedy and calculating, with a deep-seated cunning. The real heiress, they said, was as aloof and pure as a chrysanthemum, untouched by worldly concerns. No one knew that, in order to steal Jiang Zhinian's marriage match, the real heiress had plotted to ruin her, leaving her to die with her name in disgrace. Reborn, Jiang Zhinian smiled. Her brother could navigate the treacherous political arena on his own, and her mother could handle the household rivalries and affairs herself. As for the estates and shops, they wouldn't get a single coin from her. The Jiang family soon discovered that their lives were getting worse and worse. The real heiress, once thought aloof and pure, revealed her selfish nature and begged Jiang Zhinian for forgiveness, only to be turned away by someone else. The supposedly blind heir, Lu Junyan, said, “That family is blind in both eyes and heart. Niannian, don't forgive them.” Jiang Zhinian asked, “What about you? Are you really blind?”
