Jiang Wanxi stared at the married couple sitting across from her, looking as though she had just been struck by lightning.
What the hell kind of plot development was this?
She had deliberately refused to go to the capital because she knew what would happen. So why had the original owner’s biological parents still managed to find her?
That’s right. Jiang Wanxi had transmigrated into a book—a period novel titled *The Pampered Fake Heiress Is Rich and Beautiful*.
And without a doubt, she had become the true heiress—the vicious supporting female character who eventually turned evil.
The problem was that she had already been living in this world for ten years before a dream finally revealed to her that she had transmigrated into a novel.
According to the original story, the original owner and the fake heiress, Jiang Yu, had been accidentally switched at the hospital shortly after birth.
Although the original owner was a girl, she was the only daughter in her family and had been doted on by everyone. Her grandparents and parents spoiled her endlessly, while her uncles, aunts, older brothers, and younger brothers loved her just as much.
After graduating from high school in 1972, she stubbornly insisted that her second brother, who worked in transportation, take her to the capital so she could see the wider world.
There, she happened to meet her biological grandparents.
The elderly couple noticed that she looked remarkably similar to her biological grandmother when she was young. Suspicious, they investigated the hospital where their daughter-in-law had given birth all those years ago.
Later, they had their son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter undergo blood-type testing in the capital. Once their suspicions were confirmed, the original owner’s biological parents traveled all the way to a small village in Ji Province to find her.
When the Jiang family of Hongsheng Production Brigade learned that the children had been switched at birth, the entire household was thrown into chaos.
The daughter they had cherished for sixteen years wasn’t biologically theirs. Not only were they unable to bring their biological daughter home, but now even the daughter they had raised was going to be taken away.
At first, the original owner didn’t want to leave.
However, when her adoptive parents heard that her biological family could arrange an urban household registration for her and even find her a job, they reluctantly decided to let her go.
After all, this wasn’t just any urban household registration.
It was a household registration in the capital!
The original owner might have been somewhat spoiled and willful, but the Jiang family had raised her well.
Unfortunately, after returning to the capital, she met the male lead of the novel—a man as refined as jade and unparalleled among gentlemen.
Naturally, she fell hopelessly in love with him.
They said the male lead always belonged to the female lead, and that couldn’t have been more true.
No matter how desperately the original owner pursued him, the male lead remained unmoved. In fact, he found her extremely annoying.
Unable to obtain the man she loved, the original owner impulsively tried to frame the female lead. Her scheme was exposed, and her family forced her to go to the countryside.
There, in a remote village, the beautiful original owner was raped by a local thug.
She was forced to marry him and suffered domestic violence after their marriage.
Even under such terrible circumstances, she managed to survive until the national college entrance examination was reinstated.
After receiving her university admission notice, she divorced her husband with the help of the production brigade officials and finally went to university.
After graduating, she returned to Hongsheng Production Brigade.
Only then did she discover what had happened to the Jiang family.
After learning that she had been sent to the countryside, they had desperately searched for her. During that time, some had died while others were injured. Her third brother, who served in the military, was killed while carrying out a mission, and her youngest cousin was abducted by human traffickers.
The once-happy family had been completely destroyed.
The original owner had endured everything and studied desperately to get into university because she wanted to repay the Jiang family—the people who had genuinely loved and cared for her.
But when she finally returned, her home was gone.
Already covered in emotional scars, she completely turned dark.
When she heard that the female lead had established a factory after graduating from university, she sabotaged it.
When she heard that the male lead had been promoted, she sabotaged him too.
She exhausted the male and female leads both physically and mentally, but somehow, they always managed to turn disaster into fortune.
In short, she constantly created obstacles in their romance and careers. Yet instead of truly harming them, every scheme only made their relationship and careers stronger while leaving herself in an increasingly miserable state.
Eventually, the original owner was diagnosed with cancer.
She went so far as to kidnap the male and female leads’ son and took him deep into the mountains, intending to jump off a cliff with him.
However, when her biological family finally found them, the original owner’s conscience awakened at the last moment.
She released the child.
Then she jumped from the cliff alone.
Damn it!
There was truly a pitiful story behind every hateful person!
After learning about the original plot, Jiang Wanxi had refused to accompany her second brother, Jiang Zhenguo, to the capital.
Instead, she obediently stayed in Hongsheng Production Brigade and accepted a position as a work-point recorder arranged by the brigade.
She didn’t have any grand ambitions.
All she wanted was to stay far, far away from the male and female leads, keep her head down until the national college entrance examination was reinstated in 1977, get into medical school, and follow the same path she had taken in her previous life.
She wouldn’t even mind remaining a country girl for the rest of her life!
She had never once thought about interfering with the male and female leads!
Could this be the irresistible power of the original plot?
Was she destined to become nothing more than a stepping stone for the male and female leads?
Jiang Wanxi looked at the biological parents sitting across from her.
All right, Mom and Dad, I’ve seen you now.
But could someone please explain—
How the hell did you two find out that the babies had been switched?!
