Chapter 1
At the age of 12, Shen Yue accidentally fell into a pond while feeding fish and learned one thing: her parents were not her real parents, and her five brothers were not her real brothers. She was the fake heiress of the Shen family!
In a situation where she was destined to lose everything, Shen Yue decided to just… lie down. If one is destined to lose everything, why not enjoy what she has while she still has it?
“Big brother, is the company fun? Let me take a look.” She wanted to take advantage of still being the Shen family’s daughter to play around in the company, as she might not have the chance later.
“Second brother, is acting fun? Let me take a look.” What? You get paid for playing a dead person who doesn’t move? This job must be secured!
“Third brother, is this gun real? Let me take a look.” It’s quite good, but the recoil is too strong. Next time, give me a smaller one to play with.
“Fourth brother, will your research institute’s teacher get mad if I go in? Let me take a look.” This teacher is really handsome, let’s get close!
“Fifth brother, this medicine smells nice, let me taste it…” It’s delicious! But my brain feels a bit itchy, am I about to grow a brain?
On the day the real heiress returned, the five brothers shielded Shen Yue behind them, “Hui Hui, can we keep her? She’s not very smart, it’s too dangerous for her to be alone outside.”
The real heiress sneered coldly, a white lotus indeed.
Later, she discovered… Shen Yue really wasn’t very smart. Well, might as well keep her.
Chapter 2
Shen Yue often felt out of place with her family because she wasn’t abnormal enough.
But today, after falling into the pond and hitting her head, she suddenly felt relieved!
That’s right, we’re not family, how could we be alike.
After hitting her head, Shen Yue inexplicably gained many memories in her mind, showing her future self.
She saw someone saying she wasn’t the real daughter of the Shen family, she saw the real heiress of the Shen family, despite being lost outside for so many years, shining brilliantly, she saw herself doing wrong and ending up dying alone in prison.
She saw… her small hand full of mud in the pond, and in a daze, she remembered the taste of prison food, and suddenly understood.
Those were her memories from her past life! She would end up in prison in the future!
The food in prison isn’t good, the work is dirty and tiring, and you get bullied, so she should…
Start working hard now to change her fate?
A fake heiress is fake, how can she change that, by changing her blood and genes? She can only be reborn in the next life.
Start clinging to her family now to increase their affection?
If nothing unexpected happens, currently, except for her adoptive parents, her brothers don’t like to play with her because she’s too dumb, so forget about clinging, she can’t even reach a leg.
Start studying hard now, change her fate with knowledge?
That’s actually feasible.
Let’s do it! Shen Yue sat at her desk and frantically wrote a test paper, after checking the answers, she silently closed the book, pretending nothing happened.
Whether in her past life or this one, knowledge can change others’ fate, but it probably can’t change hers.
That day, Shen Yue looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, at just 12 years old, she could perfectly portray the sadness of youth pain literature.
Pain, so painful!
After daydreaming… no, thinking for 10 minutes, Shen Yue came to a conclusion.
If she’s destined to eat prison food and do hard labor, why not enjoy herself now, lie flat and eat?
Nothing is difficult if you are willing to give up.
She wants to enjoy good meals before she goes in! All kinds of meals! No repeats!
However, by evening, looking at the bland cabbage in front of her, she fell into deep thought again.
“Big brother, has our family gone bankrupt?”
Shen Yanchen, who had already put down his meal and was about to leave, stopped in his tracks, somewhat surprised.
Not because of what Shen Yue asked, but because of her attitude.
In his memory, this sister had always been afraid of him, speaking to him very cautiously, as if he were some kind of man-eating monster. Over time, he stopped wanting to talk to her.
Today, coming to deliver food to Shen Yue was also under parental pressure to complete a task, he didn’t expect Shen Yue to strike up a conversation with him.
Perhaps it had been too long since he had talked to a creature like a sister, Shen Yanchen rarely responded to Shen Yue, “No.”
Shen Yue quickly followed up after hearing the answer, “Then why is dinner just this.”
As she spoke, Shen Yue’s big, watery eyes darted between the cabbage and Shen Yanchen, clearly hinting, hurry up and get me something good to eat!
Shen Yanchen remained unmoved, coldly conveying the parents’ message, “You can only eat this today.”
“What about tomorrow?”
“Don’t know.”
“Big brother, what did you eat today?”
Shen Yanchen didn’t expect his sister to talk to him so naturally one day, paused slightly, then said, “Haven’t eaten yet.”
Hearing this, Shen Yue’s eyes lit up, eagerly handing over her cabbage, looking at Shen Yanchen expectantly, “Big brother, you eat it!”
Shen Yanchen looked at the chopsticks extended to his mouth, didn’t open his mouth.
Even though Shen Yue looked at him sincerely now, as if for his own good, he knew this sister just wanted to use him, he didn’t want to be used.
Shen Yue was silently rejected by Shen Yanchen.
In a daze, she remembered her instinctive fear of this big brother, but the fear was quickly suppressed.
In the face of the hardship of prison food, all fears become insignificant—Shen Yue
“Big brother, I really don’t like eating this, I’d rather die than eat cabbage!” Shen Yue started fake crying, not a single tear, but her voice was loud.
Shen Yanchen rubbed his temples, scolded coldly, “Stop crying, what kind of behavior is that!”
Such wailing, people might think he did something terrible.
However, this scolding, which always worked on subordinates, had no effect on Shen Yue, she even cried louder, finally attracting the Shen family members eating in the living room.
The door opened, Father Shen walked in first, saw Shen Yue still howling, asked coldly, “What’s going on.”
Shen Yanchen was about to answer, Shen Yue had already stopped her ghostly howling, answered very normally, “Big brother won’t help me eat the cabbage, I’m threatening him.”
Father Shen: …
Shen Yanchen: …
Onlookers: …
Father Shen sighed, said to Shen Yue, “Threaten quietly.” then closed the door and left.
Only then did Shen Yue say to Shen Yanchen again, “Shall I continue?”
Shen Yanchen didn’t speak, just took the cabbage from Shen Yue’s hand, ate it in one bite.
Shen Yue quieted down.
After eating the cabbage, Shen Yanchen asked, “What do you want to eat?”
Shen Yue’s eyes lit up, as expected of a businessman, very understanding, “I want to eat crayfish!”
“No.”
“I want to eat wagyu.”
“No.”
“I want to eat raw marinated.”
“No.”
“I want to eat…”
“No.”
In the end, Shen Yue’s dinner that day was still just cabbage. The only difference was, Shen Yanchen ate the same dish as her.
The next day, Shen Yue, who was ready to enjoy the pleasure of lying in bed, was forced to get up at 6 to prepare for school.
She closed her eyes and let the aunt dress her, closed her eyes and came to the dining table, closed her eyes and ate something, finally closed her eyes and got into the car.
In a daze, she felt the car stop, so she opened her eyes and asked, “Are we there?”
“We’re at the Shang family.”
The Shang family? Shen Yue’s rusty brain started working, the Shang family, Shang Junyu, a little brat she really liked but in her memories never took her seriously.
It must be said, the little brat was quite handsome from a young age, she liked him.
But, since he’s a man she’s destined not to get, why bother being a lapdog, let’s go.
“Uncle Zhang, just drive, no need to come here anymore.”
Uncle Zhang was somewhat surprised, although Shen Yue and Shang Junyu were still young, everyone saw Shen Yue’s admiration and liking for Shang Junyu, it was also Shen Yue who cried and made a fuss for a long time, the Shen family stepped in to negotiate with the Shang family, arranging for them to go to school together every day.
Today is… a child’s quarrel?
Uncle Zhang didn’t ask more, after quietly asking Father Shen, he drove away.
Shen Yue looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings. Inexplicably, what would happen next appeared in her mind.
Today, someone would frame her, including Shang Junyu, no one would stand by her side.
So Shen Yue started thinking again.
Ah, so annoying, screw school, beautiful times are meaningless if not used for eating and sleeping.
After being framed later, just use that as an excuse to not go to school starting tomorrow.
She’s such a clever little ghost, hehe.
Chapter 3
Shen Yue was about to get out of the car, with one foot already halfway out, but she pulled it back in.
“Uncle Zhang, we’re not at school yet.”
Uncle Zhang sighed, “The master doesn’t allow us to drop you off right at the school gate.”
Shen Yue then lay flat on the back seat, making it clear that if she wasn’t taken to the gate, she wouldn’t go to school.
Uncle Zhang tried to persuade her for a while but to no avail, so he had to consult Shen’s father again. The answer he got was that Shen Yue’s health had been checked by the doctor and there were no issues. If she was being difficult, he should just carry her to school and hand her over to the teacher.
Uncle Zhang sighed again, feeling that this approach wasn’t good, but he couldn’t refuse his boss’s orders. He resignedly walked to the back seat and threw the still ‘playing dead’ Shen Yue onto his back.
Providing for the family comes first.
Little Xuan, I’m sorry.
Shen Yue belatedly realized what was happening. She felt no discomfort, even finding it quite comfortable.
In short, as long as she didn’t have to move, she felt happy.
This wasn’t her being lazy; she was conserving energy for labor reform.
Having found a ‘justifiable reason’ for herself, Shen Yue continued to lie flat on Uncle Zhang, even accidentally seeing the morning tea across the street and yelling out that she wanted to eat it, “I want to eat that!”
Uncle Zhang looked helpless. The Shen children were never allowed to eat outside food. How could he dare to buy it casually? He could only continue to refuse, “No.”
Shen Yue persisted, “Why!”
Because your parents don’t allow you to eat it, why make it hard for a worker like me!
But Uncle Zhang didn’t dare to tell the truth, fearing the child might blab and cost him his job. He could only start making up excuses seriously, “It’s not that I don’t want to buy it for you, it’s just that I’m useless and really can’t afford it.”
Shen Yue, with her memories, instantly empathized. She understood the pain of not having money.
It was to the extent of having to budget carefully even to buy a single gummy bear.
Why should a fake heiress make things difficult for a worker? She was being too much, wanting to eat the hard-earned money of a worker. It felt like being so hungry in prison that one would snatch someone else’s last meal before execution.
Pain, such pain.
At this moment, Uncle Zhang was no longer just an ordinary worker in Shen Yue’s eyes, but her comrade-in-arms!
Comrades meeting comrades, tears welling up in their eyes.
But Uncle Zhang felt a chill, sensing something was wrong. Oh no, this little ancestor isn’t going to cry, is she? Crying on the street is no small matter; better hurry and get her to school.
Uncle Zhang prepared for a 500-meter sprint, ready to drop Shen Yue off at the school gate when she wasn’t paying attention, only to see Shen Yue tearfully say, “Uncle Zhang, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have been willful. Don’t be sad.”
Uncle Zhang was momentarily stunned.
Ah… actually, he wasn’t that sad, he was just afraid of being scolded and docked pay by Boss Shen.
But seeing Shen Yue’s sincere apology, Uncle Zhang suddenly felt like a beast for not only not buying her morning tea but also lying to the child and making her cry.
Shen Yue didn’t know that her apology would make Uncle Zhang wake up in the middle of the night, feeling immensely guilty.
After a fierce internal struggle, Uncle Zhang said, “Next time, I’ll definitely buy it for you.”
Let’s just say we’ll eat it next time after we shake off the bodyguards.
But Shen Yue misunderstood Uncle Zhang’s meaning, thinking he was just brushing her off as usual, so she politely responded in kind, “Okay!”
At that moment, Shen Yue’s classmate Zhang Peng happened to pass by and overheard the conversation.
He was shocked by the truth he had discovered. Shen Yue… her family couldn’t even afford morning tea? That means Shen Yue’s parents are poor?! Usually, Shen Yue’s things don’t look bad, but who would have thought…
At 12 years old, not too big, not too small, but the age when all impulses sprout, the most reckless age.
The classmate who heard the ‘secret’ quickened his pace, rushing ahead of Shen Yue, eager to share this big news with the whole class before Shen Yue entered the classroom.
“Guess what I just heard? You’ll never believe it, Shen Yue is actually a fraud!”
As soon as the words fell, the classmates who were doing their own things all looked over.
“Shen Yue is a fraud?”
“What’s going on?”
“Are you freaking kidding me? Which Shen Yue are you talking about?”
“Is it Shen Yue from our class?”
Zhang Peng slapped the teacher’s desk, picked up the chalkboard eraser, and was about to tell the story when he suddenly remembered that the teacher should be coming to class soon, so he quickly said, “On my way here today, I heard Shen Yue talking to her uncle. Their family can’t even afford morning tea! Her uncle said, ‘It’s just that I’m useless and really can’t afford it,’ and then Shen Yue started apologizing.”
“Isn’t Shen Yue supposed to have grown up with Shang Junyu? I always thought her family was at least not too far behind Shang Junyu’s…”
“But Shen Yue’s things are usually quite expensive.”
“Must be fakes. If they can’t even afford morning tea, she can’t afford the real stuff.”
“Could she have stolen them?”
“Ah? That’s disgusting. Why would Shen Yue do that, pretending to be rich by stealing?”
“Wow, thinking about how she once treated me to something, I can’t help but laugh. Where did she get the money?”
“Probably from stolen goods.”
“Should we call the police?”
As the saying goes, three people make a tiger. Even if the initial assumption about stealing was just a hypothesis, when enough people say it, it becomes true.
Especially when it’s about that Shen Yue.
The Shen Yue who goes to and from school with Shang Junyu every day, who can play the piano and dance, who has supporters because of her sweet looks and good personality.
Such a person, actually a fraud, even a thief, how interesting.
Sometimes, people’s happiness is built on the pain of others, especially belittling those who are excellent, as if it makes their own failures seem less pathetic, a comfort.
So, when Shen Yue dawdled her way to the classroom, she found that everyone’s eyes on her had changed.
Shen Yue couldn’t quite describe the feeling of those eyes, she only knew that if it were in prison, people with such eyes wouldn’t survive the next day.
Shen Yue didn’t care, directly walking under everyone’s gaze to her seat, about to sit down, but found her stool wet, and her once tidy desk now covered in graffiti and densely packed words.
Fraud.
Poor.
Disgusting.
Vain.
Thief.
…
These were some of the more refined terms. There were others, calling her a slut, and other unspeakable insults.
Shen Yue observed carefully, feeling that happiness had come too suddenly, not quite sure, so she looked at the person next to her and asked, “Is this my desk?”
The person next to her didn’t answer, but someone else said, “That’s your desk, it matches you perfectly, hahahahaha.”
Now Shen Yue understood, she was being bullied at school.
Never thought this could happen to her. Although she didn’t know the reason, she could go back and lie down, and with a legitimate reason.
“Hey, Shen Yue, aren’t you going to sit?”
“How could a noble princess sit on a stool with glue.”
Shen Yue ignored the sarcasm, calmly taking out her phone from her bag to call Uncle Zhang.
To make her emotions more convincing, Shen Yue even pinched her thigh hard, forcing herself to cry from the pain.
“Hello… Uncle Zhang, I… I don’t want to go to school anymore.” The child’s voice trembled slightly, even though she tried to control it, Uncle Zhang could still hear the vulnerability and sadness in Shen Yue’s words.
He immediately turned the car around, heading towards the school, softly comforting her, “Don’t be afraid, I’ll be there soon.”
After hanging up Shen Yue’s call, Uncle Zhang hesitated for a moment, then dialed Shen Yanchen’s assistant.
On the other side, Shen Yue’s pitiful expression disappeared as soon as she put down the phone. She rubbed the words on the desk while flipping through the extra memories in her head.
Hmm, according to the logic, wasn’t today supposed to be about being framed for taking someone else’s things? How did it turn into words on the desk?
The memories in her head don’t seem accurate.
But for some reason, even as Shen Yue told herself this, she never doubted one thing.
That her final destination would definitely be prison.
