Lu Chao Chao wakes up to find herself inside the pages of a novel, cast in the role of a disposable extra: a baby fated to be killed at birth so the true heroine can take her place in the story.
In the original plot, this so-called heroine wraps herself in the guise of righteousness. She accuses Lu Chao Chao’s adoptive mother and grandfather of treason, dragging their entire clan to ruin and execution. Afterward, she reunites with her birth mother, clings to her useless yet strangely untouchable father, and escapes all responsibility. From then on, she lives a charmed life, while the Lu family is reduced to little more than bloody stepping stones on her path to glory.
This time, Lu Chao Chao refuses to let her family be written off as cannon fodder. Watching her mother, who has been trapped for years in a web of emotional manipulation, she tears away the illusion: [“Mother, the love of your life is currently waiting on his concubine to give birth.”] The brutal truth shocks her infatuated mother awake.
She then turns to her eldest brother, whose disabled body and crushed pride have made him the capital’s laughingstock: [“Big Brother, you have endured humiliation and suffering beyond words. But don’t worry. I have a way to cure you.”] With that, the once broken young man rises from despair and goes on to outshine every talented youth in the capital.
To her second brother, she points at the rot festering by his side: [“You’ve trusted the wrong person. Your so-called best friend is nothing more than the illegitimate son of our despicable father.”] And to her third brother, she lays bare the trap that ruined him: [“You were deliberately led astray, kept ignorant, pushed into gambling, and then left to sink.”]
With every secret she exposes, Lu Chao Chao watches fate itself begin to shift. The scumbag man is cast aside. Her three brothers transform into paragons admired throughout the realm. And she, a tiny baby still clutching a milk bottle, becomes the cherished treasure of her family and, before long, the beloved darling of the entire world.
