For three years, Gu Lianhua, the hidden heiress of China's second-wealthiest family, devoted her life to a man she believed was her destiny. Stripping away her noble identity, she worked tirelessly in cafés and as a delivery girl, enduring scorn from her boyfriend Zhao Rui's family. By day, she scrubbed floors; by night, she hid her genius in programming and stock trading, amassing a secret fortune meant as a gift for their future together. But love betrayed her. Zhao Rui took a mistress-Shen Meilin, an illegitimate child of a distant branch who falsely claimed to be the Gu family's beloved granddaughter. When Rui and his family chose Meilin over Lianhua, discarding her with cruelty and humiliation, Lianhua's fragile devotion shattered. What Rui did not know was that he had scorned the true Gu heiress. Behind her quiet endurance stood three fiercely protective brothers and a secret engagement to the heir of China's wealthiest Lee family. Lee Jianyu, broad-shouldered and powerful, had never forgotten the petite girl who defended him when he was a mocked, overweight teenager. He had waited years for her return-and now, he would burn the world to protect her. From ashes of love, flames of revenge will rise. Rui, Meilin, and all who scorned her will regret their cruelty, as Lianhua ascends not only as the Gu heiress but as a queen of her own making. At her side will stand Jianyu-the man who saw her when she was invisible, and loved her when the world turned away. This is a tale of betrayal, hidden identity, vengeance, and love reborn.

When I woke up this morning, I found myself in a strange room, unfamiliar bed, strangers I've never met, and a body that wasn't mine. The strangers wore a maid outfit, and these people were calling me by the name Nasrin Urduja. This name reminded me of the novel I read before coming into this place. In that novel, Nasrin Urduja was the name of the villain, and her only ending in the book was death. In order to survive, I plan to stay away from the main characters of the novel and live my new life as a hermit in a far away forest, but as soon as I turn around, I saw the friendly smiling face of the protagonist. I'm doomed! *** Content Warning: Violence, Torture, Death, Profanities, Abused, Cruelty, Discrimination, and Self-harm. Author's Note: This is my original story. Not a fanfiction.
