Reborn Heiress: Wisdom and Strategy for a Winning Life
墨書 Inktalez
1.
I, Lu Ningning, although bearing the false title of the Lu Family's precious daughter, am actually a fraud.
"Money? It's nothing but dirt." This is what I often say when I indulge in extravagance.
However, when the real daughter, Lu Xinyu, returns, I suddenly fall from heaven to hell overnight, my pockets empty and my face even cleaner.
She frames me and has me kicked out of the Lu Family. Looking at my miserable state, she smirks with satisfaction: "Lu Ningning, taste my bitterness." After saying that, she secretly sabotages me, making it impossible for me to find a job, ultimately leaving me homeless.
To survive, I can only take on odd jobs, exhausting myself to the point of collapse. In the end, before I even receive my wages, I am knocked unconscious by a heavy object and lose consciousness.
When I wake up, I find that I have actually been reborn. In this life, I've come to my senses. Fighting? It's pointless! Just slacking off is liberating!
But slacking off requires money. So, I remember the aloof male god from my previous life who once had me pretend to be his girlfriend and gave me a million.
In this life, I need to find him early and cling to his thigh!
Just as I was plotting how to get close to him, a familiar and cold voice suddenly rang in my ears: "Lu Ningning, what trick are you trying to play again?"
I turned around sharply and saw the male god not far away, his gaze deep as he stared at me. My heart tightened; could it be that he has also been reborn?
2.
I have only one thought: save money!
"That girl, she will definitely show off at the birthday party," I muttered to myself, already starting to plan in my mind. "At that time, I should be smart and find an excuse to leave."
I counted on my fingers: "If I can save up a million, the annual interest would be sixty thousand, which is five thousand a month. That would be enough for me to live comfortably."
I don't have the good fortune of those female protagonists in novels who can bounce back after being kicked out of their homes. I just want to save some money and find a quiet place to live my little life.
However, looking at the pitiful amount in my account, I couldn't help but sigh, "What am I going to do?"
Previously, for convenience, I took my dad's secondary card, and now it's a mess; I can't withdraw any money without my family knowing every cent I spend. Am I being foolish?
It's been less than a year since my identity was exposed; I need to work harder to save money! Fortunately, for the sake of my family's reputation, I've kept up with my studies, so that's something to be proud of.
In the dormitory, rummaging through my things, I finally found my Level Six English Certificate and my Mandarin Level Two A Certificate, feeling a surge of joy.
Excitedly, I picked up my phone and took a picture to send to Lu Li, who is now my dad.
"Dad, look! Here comes the reward; your daughter worked hard for this!" After sending the message, I eagerly awaited his reply.
Dad almost replied instantly: "Sweetheart, feel free to use the secondary card; just be happy."
I pouted and replied, "Dad, using the card means spending your money; what I want is a real reward!"
Just as I finished typing, my phone suddenly chimed with the notification: "Ten thousand yuan credited to your Alipay account."
I was taken aback for a moment and then smiled triumphantly. It seems that spoiling women really does lead to good fortune.

I rested my chin on my hand, lost in deep thought. Finding a job and being self-sufficient? That seemed like a good option.
"Ning Ning, you’re so lucky, just like that, a hundred thousand yuan is in your account. Are you going to inherit the branch office right after graduation?"
I turned my head to see it was Lin Zimei. In my past life, we had a decent relationship, but looking back now, she often tried to curry favor with me. After all, when I was kicked out of my home, she didn't hesitate to block me.
I gave a self-deprecating smile and said nothing. She leaned in closer, wrapping her arm around mine and said, "Ning Ning, arrange a position for me at the company."
I gently pulled away from her: "My family's company doesn't keep idle people." After saying that, I went to bed to rest, leaving her standing there with an unhappy expression.
Lying in bed, I began to ponder how I could make money. Taking the IELTS? Pursuing a master's degree? But those thoughts quickly faded away because even if I got accepted, I would still face employment issues. And as long as Lu Xinyu made a little move, no company would want me. The Lu Family indeed had that kind of power.
Thinking back to my past life, the biggest fortune I missed was the one million yuan given to me by my idol Gu Xijue for pretending to be his girlfriend. This time, I absolutely cannot miss this opportunity again.
5.
Gu Xijue, my idol; his appearance was simply customized to my liking.
At the Gu Family's banquet, I spotted him at a glance, and my heart was instantly captivated.
He was a gentleman, refined and elegant, making it hard not to want to get closer.
"What a pity; he already has a girlfriend," I muttered to myself.
"And it's Lin Xinyu, the daughter of the Lu Family," my friend added with a jab.
Although Lin Xinyu and I looked somewhat alike, our temperaments were worlds apart. She was the gentle and virtuous type of female lead, while I was the scheming villainess, proud and arrogant.
"Gu Xijue's heart probably already belongs entirely to Lin Xinyu," I muttered to myself, feeling a twinge of disappointment.
"Forget it, I don't want to make a fool of myself," I shook my head, trying to shake off the distracting thoughts.
"I, Lu Ningning, can find any man I want," I reassured myself, making an effort to lift my spirits.

I wore a glamorous gown as I slowly stepped into the hall of the Gu Family Gala.
The hall was resplendent, with crystal chandeliers dazzling like stars, making it feel like a dream.
In my previous life, it was here that I missed out on a million-dollar opportunity.
But in this life, I vowed to reclaim everything that belonged to me.
Mother Gu was sharp-eyed and spotted me immediately; she pulled Gu Xijue over.
"Ningning, you're here! You look beautiful," Mother Gu said with a smile, then shot a cold glance at Gu Xijue.
Gu Xijue still wore an indifferent expression, as if completely ignoring my presence.
But I was not discouraged. I shyly replied, "Mother Gu, you are looking younger and Brother Xijue is... even more handsome."
I lowered my head not out of shyness, but because I was thinking about the one million agreement, feeling anxious in my heart.
I was afraid that if I accidentally laughed out loud, it would ruin the atmosphere that had been so hard to create.

I strolled leisurely through the garden, my steps appearing casual, but every move was calculated.
The only thought in my mind was that one million.
Although the garden was beautiful and fragrant with flowers, I had no time to appreciate it.
Only because I wanted to see Gu Xijue.
Suddenly, I heard voices raised in argument. Following the sound, I saw Mother Gu and Gu Xijue both with serious expressions.
"Women who are not presentable should not be brought into this house!" Mother Gu scolded sharply, her dissatisfaction evident.
"Lin Xinyu, I will never let her through the door," Gu Xijue said, lowering his head and not daring to meet Mother Gu's gaze.
"I only recognize Lu Ningning as my daughter-in-law," Mother Gu stated firmly, leaving no room for doubt.
"If you remain stubborn, don’t think about inheriting the Gu Family," Mother Gu's words grew increasingly severe.
Gu Xijue remained silent, looking like a mama's boy, and I secretly scoffed at him.
Lin Xinyu, the legitimate daughter of the Lu Family; I am just an imposter.
She is the heroine of a wish-fulfillment story; I am merely an imposter trying to make money.
However, I will never easily give up.
That one million, I am determined to get it!
Gu Xijue, feeling down due to Mother Gu's words, strolled through the garden, searching everywhere.
I know that the target is me.
The moonlight fell, illuminating his handsome profile. I admired him secretly but felt that practicality is what truly matters.
When the time was right, I turned around leisurely and waited on the swing for him to speak.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Gu Xijue approaching step by step, and I felt a surge of joy in my heart: "One million is about to be in my pocket?"
He finally called out to me, slightly hesitant: "Lu Ningning, how about we pretend to be a couple for one million?" His words revealed a hint of unease.
