[I do not own this story; I am only responsible for the translation.] Author: 生了两只猫 Li Shuyang made a deal with the system - as long as she could change the tragic fate of the abused female lead, Cen Qingqing, she would receive fifty million. Wasn't this basically free money? That was what she thought... until she personally laid eyes on this female lead from a tragedy-filled novel, who encompassed every miserable trope imaginable: the fake-real daughter identity swap, biased and disdainful family members, getting kidnapped and forced into a choice between two options, being toyed with by the male lead, falsely cared for and used by the second male lead - yet still desperately craving familial and romantic love. Oh, and on top of that, she got accepted into a good university only to be forced to change her major, had her living expenses cut off to the point she couldn't even afford meals, and lived each day either being bullied or on the verge of being bullied. In the end, she died of stomach cancer, and everyone gathered around her grave sobbing in remorse and repentance. Li Shuyang pinched the pressure point between her eyebrows and thought to herself, "Yep, earning money really is as hard as eating sht."* But it's fine - she had strength and means! Step one in reforming the abused female lead: Hmm... first trick her into becoming a mediator of family emotional disputes. People need to see more of the world's bizarre creatures in order to fight poison with poison, right?

In a gilded cage of silk and shadows, Wen Yanyi once lived a life of pampered delusion. She was the spoiled heiress, the childhood darling utterly devoted to Shen Jiyan, the aloof prince of the financial world. She believed his quiet acceptance was love, his indifference merely shyness. Until she arrived - the true heroine of this story, who stripped Wen Yanyi of everything: his name, his protection, and her very life. Dying alone, consumed by a mad obsession, Wen Yanyi tasted ruin. Her family, once revered, crumbled to dust. But fate, it seemed, had a twisted sense of humor. She woke up eighteen again, a year before history was set to repeat. This time, she wouldn't be the desperate villainess. She would become everyone's precious darling, admired and protected, a vision of ethereal purity that captivated hearts without effort. She would perfect the fragile innocence that made others want to shield her, all while concealing a mind as sharp as steel beneath her delicate facade. Shen Jiyan is returning, the countdown to his reappearance ticking like a silent clock. But Wen Yanyi isn't running to him, weeping for him, or begging for his attention. This time, she'll stand just out of reach, a sweet, untouchable enigma. And when his cold eyes finally find her, it won't be out of obligation, but out of a fierce, undeniable desire. ___________________________________________ Disclaimer: This is an original work of fiction.
