Have you ever watched 'Autumn in My Heart'? Because right now, Mingxi's situation is pretty similar to that of the real daughter, who is also the villainess and supporting role of the show.
The real daughter who had been living in the countryside has finally been found after many years. However, she realizes that there is a more outstanding, lively, innocent and delicate young lady at home. For the past 15 years, she had completely replaced her.
The only difference is that I am probably more stupid.
Mingxi lamented.
For the past two years, she tried her utmost best to please this family, even to the extent of remembering everyone's birthdays and preferences.
She carefully massaged her mother's shoulders, but her mother only gave an expression full of awkwardness. Then, with a simple, "No need," she stood up and walked upstairs.
One time, she went to have a meal with her family at a hotel and the server accidentally knocked over the soup. When she saw that the soup was about to spill all over her eldest brother, Zhao Zhanhuai, she immediately blocked it with her body. In the end, when she came to her senses, the whole family had hurriedly sent Zhao Yuan to the hospital because a few drops had been spilled on her thigh.
When she pulled out of her dumbfounded state and belatedly realized that a few drops had burned her face as well, the whole family was gone.
Only the 15-year-old Zhao Yuning noticed it the next day.
Mingxi thought that at least her younger brother, Zhao Yuning, would treat her differently. However, half a month ago, there was an incident whereby only one person could be enrolled in the Chemistry Competition. When Zhao Yuning found out that Zhao Yuan wanted to join, he actually went as far as to steal Mingxi's application form.
Mingxi then lost the right to join the Chemistry Competition. She also gained a small scar on her face and had been wearing a mask for the past year.
The most recent incident was where Zhao Yuan went to have ice cream at Mingxi's friend's shop and accidentally triggered her nut allergy, causing her to be admitted to the hospital. The whole family thought that Mingxi was the one behind this incident and refused to believe her despite her explanations—
She was fine with all this.
She was okay.
She wasn't angry. After all, she wasn't easily provoked. If she had to fight back, she would. There were quite a few times when the whole family had exploded in anger because of her.
In any case, the textbooks said that even dripping water could penetrate stones, so as long as she works hard for another couple of years, she would definitely be reciprocated.
In the end, she was wrong. When this family finally seemed to be showing signs of accepting her...
She died of brain cancer at the age of 23.
What kind of a sick joke was this? What was the difference between this and fighting various monsters just to die at the final battle because your device crashed?
After her death, Mingxi realized that she was, in and of itself, a tragedy.
She was actually playing a supporting role in a book.
With regards to the life of supporting character Zhao Mingxi, the summary was as follows:
[Lived in a small, rundown town in the North since she was young. When she was 15, she was found by the Zhao family. Later, due to her jealousy toward the female lead Zhao Yuan, she started to put all her effort into stealing Zhao Yuan's family from her. After finding out that Zhao Yuan and Zhao Zhanhuai harbored romantic feelings for each other, she got her best friend to create a rift between them... In the end, she died due to cancer. After her death, everyone forgave her.]
