“The Real Daughter Dominates Everyone, Her Entire Family Regrets and Begs for Forgiveness”

Wen Lingyue was reborn after a life of abuse and exploitation at the hands of her adoptive family and a deceitful entertainment company. In her previous existence, she was the biological daughter of the wealthy Jiang family, returned to them only to be treated as an outsider while her adopted sister, Jiang Yurou, was favored. Betrayed by Jiang Yurou and her fiancé Zhou Huailang, Lingyue was forced into a predatory gambling contract with Xingyu Entertainment that nearly destroyed her. After dying in despair, she woke up moments before a pivotal confrontation with her father, Jiang Su, who was beating her for allegedly seducing Jiang Yurou’s fiancé. Instead of begging for forgiveness as she had in her past life, Lingyue calmly severed all ties with the Jiang family and walked away.

With a second chance at life, Lingyue focused on her true passions: dance and traditional Chinese incense making. She entered the National Youth Dance Competition, switching her routine to a piece called Phoenix Cry just a day before the event. Her performance stunned the judges and audience, earning her the first perfect score in the competition’s history and the championship title. Simultaneously, she launched a live-streaming career as a sleep-aid anchor, using a wooden fish and a lullaby she composed to help insomniacs sleep. The stream went viral, and her original music topped the charts, giving her the financial independence and fame she lacked in her previous life.

Lingyue also reclaimed her intellectual property. She had developed a revolutionary calming incense formula called Into Dreams, which could induce sleep within two minutes. In her past life, the Jiang family had stolen credit for this invention. This time, she patented the formula and established her own brand, Anmian Fragrance. When the Jiang family attempted to seize the patent, claiming it belonged to them, Lingyue publicly exposed their theft and filed a lawsuit. The Jiang family’s attempts to damage her reputation backfired, as netizens rallied behind her after she revealed her humble origins in an orphanage and her charitable donations.

A significant turning point occurred during the national dance finals when an unstable fan attempted to attack Lingyue backstage with a knife. Fu Yuanzhang, a powerful and cold-hearted industrialist who had secretly admired her from afar, intervened and crushed the attacker’s wrist, saving her life. Lingyue, who remembered Fu Yuanzhang as a gentle protector in her past life despite his public reputation, gifted him a pouch of her calming incense beads as thanks. The gift proved effective, granting Fu Yuanzhang his first restful sleep in years and deepening his interest in her.

The story culminates with Lingyue winning the national dance championship with another perfect score, while Jiang Yurou, consumed by jealousy and pressure, delivered a disastrous performance that earned the lowest score in the competition’s history. The Jiang family’s stock plummeted as their public image crumbled, while Lingyue’s company soared. She rejected her family’s attempts to reconcile, choosing instead to build her own empire in the fragrance and entertainment industries, supported by her growing alliance with Fu Yuanzhang.
