“Gu Wanshi, don’t even think about taking everything away from me! I’m the Gu family’s heiress, and Daddy and Mommy’s love belongs to me too!”
“Gu Wanshi, what exactly are you trying to do? Our Gu family has already brought you back. Do you really have to drive Wanning away?”
“You’re really selfish! You grew up in a poor family, after all. If we’d known this would happen, we should never have brought you back!”
“Dad, Mom, I will always acknowledge only Wanning as my younger sister! I won’t acknowledge anyone else!”
“What boyfriend is yours? He likes Wanning! You even want to fight with Wanning over that?”
…
Gu Wanshi sat drenched in the cramped servant’s room, rubbing her still-aching head with a deep frown.
She simply couldn’t understand how transmigration could actually exist.
And on top of that, she had transmigrated into a novel, becoming a female cannon-fodder character who shared the exact same name as her!
The original owner of this body was originally the Gu family’s biological daughter, but she had been switched at birth. Another girl named Gu Wanning had enjoyed twenty years of wealth and privilege in her place, while she had grown up in an ordinary family.
Later, because of an accident, the Gu family discovered that Gu Wanning was not related to them by blood, so they began searching for their biological daughter.
But after bringing the original owner back, they looked down on her for having grown up in an ordinary family and lacking the refined bearing expected of a wealthy heiress. They favored their adopted daughter, Gu Wanning, who had grown up by their side instead.
The original owner was relentlessly excluded by the Gu family. Her father didn’t care about her, her mother didn’t love her, and the sweet-faced schemer, Gu Wanning, frequently framed her. Her boyfriend was even stolen away from her, and not even the servants hesitated to bully her.
“Achoo!” Gu Wanshi sneezed, her brows furrowed with worry.
Tonight was exactly what had happened in the original story. Gu Wanning had pulled the original owner into the pool with her, yet falsely accused her of pushing her in.
Everyone in the Gu family had gone to check on Gu Wanning, leaving the original owner sitting alone in the servant’s room where she lived, soaked from head to toe and completely ignored. Her health had already been extremely poor, and she ended up freezing to death…
And this unlucky girl had transmigrated into her body.
After sorting everything out, Gu Wanshi resigned herself to the situation. She dried her hair, found a change of clothes, put them on, and then sat on the edge of the bed to think about what she should do.
There was no way she was going to live the way the original owner had.
“Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have successfully bound to the Invincible Get-Rich System! I am System No. 888, at your service!”
The sudden voice in her mind startled Gu Wanshi.
But she quickly recovered and asked in her mind, “System? Is this the kind of system I used to read about in novels?”
“More or less.”
“An invincible revenge system… Does that mean I’m supposed to get revenge on the Gu family?” Gu Wanshi rubbed her hands excitedly.
Since she had taken over someone else’s body, naturally, she had to seek justice for the original owner!
She had already been furious about the original owner’s fate when she read the book.
“Host, no. I’m a get-rich system, not a revenge system. A system that helps you make money. Got it?”
Gu Wanshi understood. “Got it.”
“As long as the Host completes spending tasks, you can receive a cashback of two to one hundred times the amount spent. In addition, you can obtain various other rewards. Host, please take a look—”
In an instant, an information panel appeared before Gu Wanshi’s eyes.
It read:
Name: Gu Wanshi
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Physical Strength: 10 points (out of 100)
Combat Ability: 0 points (out of 100)
Appearance: 20 points (out of 100)
Aura: 0 points (out of 100)
Skills: None
Looking at those pitiful statistics, Gu Wanshi felt her temples throbbing.
Before transmigrating, she had at least been a top actress who had swept all the major awards, with stunning looks and exceptional acting skills.
And now she was in such a miserable state.
As though it knew what Gu Wanshi was thinking, the system added, “Don’t worry, Host. As long as you have me, I guarantee that you’ll quickly become a wealthy, beautiful woman, reach the top of the world’s richest rankings, and climb to the peak of life!”
Remembering the original owner’s tragic circumstances, Gu Wanshi hurriedly asked, “When does the task start? Do I just need to spend money?”
“Yes! The current main quest will now begin: Spend 100,000 yuan within two hours. Quest rewards: A chance to receive a cashback of two to one hundred times the amount spent, plus two lottery draws. The lottery can award additional points for Physical Strength, Appearance, and other attributes.
“Note: The Host may spend the 100,000 yuan on herself or on other people. However, anyone the Host spends money on must pass the System’s evaluation for appearance and character. If they fail the evaluation, the amount spent on them will not count toward the quest, and the Host will have to bear the expense herself.”
“Okay.”
“One more thing: Money spent on online shopping, livestream donations, online fan rankings, and similar activities will not count toward the quest.”
Gu Wanshi froze when she heard that.
She had just been thinking that if the required amount became larger in the future and she ran out of time, she could simply use her phone to buy something expensive online or spend money on livestream donations.
And online fan rankings didn’t count either? Those things could burn through money incredibly fast!
Although she had repeatedly told her fans in her previous life not to waste their money, she had too many fans to control them all.
As though it knew exactly what Gu Wanshi was thinking, the system added, “Although you can’t spend money on online fan rankings, if the Host likes a particular celebrity, you can still spend money on them in the real world. For example, you could directly buy the entertainment company they work for, organize a concert or variety show specifically for them, or spend money producing a movie for them to star in.”
“Fine, I understand!” Gu Wanshi was eager to give it a try.
Once she became wealthy, she wouldn’t have to worry about connections or influence at all. At that point, seeking justice for the original owner, humiliating the Gu family, and teaching that scheming woman a lesson would all be easy.
“Host, the quest has already begun. Remember, you have to spend the 100,000 yuan within two hours!”
As soon as the system finished speaking, Gu Wanshi saw a flash of light before her eyes. Then, a bank card appeared on the table in front of her.
“There is currently 100,000 yuan in this bank card, and the Host may spend it freely. However, any amount exceeding the 100,000 yuan will have to be paid by the Host herself. Good luck, Host!”
Gu Wanshi had already thought of how she was going to spend it. Upon hearing this, she immediately grabbed the card and her phone and headed out.
As she walked toward the villa’s main entrance, she asked in her mind, “System, what happens if I fail to complete the quest?”
Before the system could answer, a woman walked toward her.
Based on the original owner’s memories, Gu Wanshi recognized her as one of the Gu family’s maids. Her name was Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo was considered one of Gu Wanning’s trusted servants. Ever since the original owner returned to the Gu family, she had constantly made things difficult for and belittled her, giving her leftovers to eat, teaming up with other servants to mock her, and playing all sorts of tricks on her.
Unfortunately, the original owner had a timid, pushover personality. Even when she was bullied, she didn’t dare talk back and could only swallow her grievances.
“Where are you going this late at night?” Xiao Mo asked arrogantly as she walked up to her. “Didn’t I tell you already? With the way you look, you should stay indoors unless necessary. Don’t go wandering around and embarrass the Gu family!”
Gu Wanshi let out a cold laugh and immediately raised her hand, delivering a hard slap across her face.
If she could settle it with her hands, she absolutely wasn’t going to waste her breath.
