CompletedYan Laiyi knew she was an illegitimate child, and her mother was a murderer who destroyed another's family.
Her mother had harbored a long-standing crush on her father, but he fell in love with her mother's biological elder sister and had three sons with that woman. Consumed by jealousy, her mother orchestrated a pregnancy and attempted to assassinate the sister. She was then sent to prison by her father and uncles.
Later, her mother passed away unexpectedly, leaving four-year-old Yan Laiyi alone in the world. She finally met the man who looked exactly like her.
The man, with an air of nobility, scrutinized her. "You get a million in pocket money each month; tell me if it's not enough. But I will not acknowledge you as my daughter, because your birth was not sanctioned by me."
Her three older brothers looked at her with disdain. "With genes like yours, your mom wasn't a good person, and neither are you. But if anyone bullies you, call me, and I'll beat them up; no one is allowed to bully my sister!"
Her four uncles scoffed. "No matter how hard you try, we won't acknowledge you. And if you want to enter the entertainment industry to earn money, we won't take a single cent of what you earn; we'll save it all for you."
She exploded in popularity from the start, becoming the "nation's darling" in the entertainment industry, with daily trending topics from variety shows. She worked hard to earn money to repay their kindness.
Her childhood friend, Gu Huai, also suddenly transformed into the formidable "Young Master Gu." He proudly took her hand, saying, "I watched you grow up. We two should form a new family."
She packed her small luggage to bid her family farewell, but a group of men suddenly turned grim, forcefully embracing her and refusing to let go.
