My girlfriend despised me for being poor and untidy, then willingly became a third party in the arms of a man even uglier.
She thought she could reach the sky in one step and fulfill her dream of marrying into a wealthy family.
Little did she know, I was the true wealthy one all along.
Since I can remember, the whole village has made a living by raising snakes.
Rumors have it that as long as a pregnant woman spends a night with the strongest snake of the season before giving birth, she may give birth to the Snake Emperor.
Once the Snake Emperor is born, the family will be wealthy for generations to come.
But no one knows that this is also a sign of impending disaster.
My hometown is a well-known wealthy village.
Every household has tall buildings, with savings of at least tens of thousands.
No one would believe that decades ago, this place was a poor village with starving people everywhere.
Because it produces puppet dolls, or rather—
Spirit dolls.
Nourished daily by yin blood, a spirit doll takes eighteen years to form.
One day missed, it fails; one day extra, it suffers loss.
A perfect spirit doll can fetch a price close to a million.
However, on the day I came of age, the village's revered spirit doll came to life.
In my previous life, I spent ten years stepping on a sewing machine in Boss Wen's novels, and my heart was colder than a butcher's knife.
Starting over, I looked at Boss Wen's news release about celebrating the return of the real heiress and his extravagant purchase of a whole street as a gift, and sneered.
Boss Wen called my phone with a voice that was two parts taunting, three parts cold, and five parts indifferent, saying, "I, Boss Wen, transfer the money."
I held Boss Wen's black card and lightly touched my red lips, saying, "Your bank account balance is insufficient. Please consider recharging."
My son is a born genius.
In the delivery room, when he was born, there was no cry between the mother and son.
He opened his eyes and "pop" spit out a bank card from his mouth.
Using a tone that doesn't belong to a newborn baby, he said to me, "Hello, Mom, I'm your cub."
"Nice to meet you. There are fifty million in this bank card to cover the cost of raising me. If it's not enough, I'll continue to earn money after I grow up."
Everyone thinks I'm a lickspittle of the Land Patrol.
They want resources, I provide resources; they want connections, I provide connections.
Even the Land Patrol themselves think I'm head over heels in love with him.
How dare he announce that he's secretly married and has a child at the peak of his career.
In reality, he's just my "lucky wife stone," a lucky charm for wealth.
My mother told me before she died that my biological father was a wealthy man.
I shared this news with my best friend.
The next day, she became the newly found heiress of a wealthy family.
And I became their maid.
After my best friend caused a hit-and-run accident under the influence of alcohol and escaped, I was pushed forward by the wealthy man to take the blame for her.
She said, "Zhou Si, you only deserve to spend the second half of your life in prison!"
When I opened my eyes again, I returned to the day my mother passed away.
The ex-husband who had been missing for twenty years suddenly showed up at my door, because he had become paralyzed and needed my daughter's and my care.
Many people advised me against paying attention to him, but I was overjoyed.
"Back then, he abandoned his wife and child. Even if we take a step back, am I not at fault as well?"
With my daughter's astonished gaze, I pushed the ex-husband into the house.
I have been reborn.
This time, I will enjoy this boundless wealth and luxury on my own.
My biological parents were wealthy, and when they found me, the fake rich girl cried bitterly.
My elder brother stepped forward to protect her: "I only have this one sister, I don't recognize anyone else."
My biological parents looked embarrassed: "We have regarded her as our own daughter for a long time, please understand."
They were afraid that my arrival would make others look down on Cheng Taoxi, so they planned to make Cheng Taoxi climb up to the richest Jiang family.
Their target was the Jiang family.
But the Jiang family is the family that adopted me.
The Jiang family is nothing special, just billions of assets, a daughter controlling her parents, and a sister controlling her brother.
And I am the only daughter of the Jiang family.
My biological parents are wealthy. When they found me, the fake heiress cried bitterly.
My older brother stepped forward to protect her: "She's my only sister, I don't recognize anyone else."
My biological parents looked embarrassed: "We have always treated her as our own daughter, please understand."
They were afraid that my arrival would make people look down on Cheng Taoxi, so they planned for Cheng Taoxi to attach herself to the richest family, the Jiang family.
Their target was the Jiang family.
But the Jiang family is the family that adopted me.
The Jiang family is nothing special, just having billions of assets, a daughter who controls her parents, and a sister who adores her older brother.
And I, I am the only daughter of the Jiang family.
