The Real Daughter Gets Rich Writing Paranormal Stories

Qi Quan, a top-tier genius of the Xuanmen metaphysical arts, died at twenty-two due to a weak constitution and transmigrated into the body of a real daughter in a fictional novel. The original owner, an orphan raised in an orphanage, had been identified as the true bloodline of the wealthy Qi family but was rejected by her parents and siblings in favor of the fake daughter, Qi Yingxue. Driven by jealousy and a desire for belonging, the original owner had acted out, causing scandals and ultimately dying of fright during a bungee jumping incident. Qi Quan, bound to a Writer System, learned she had only one month to live unless she accumulated prestige points by publishing literary works. The system calculated that one thousand prestige points equaled one day of lifespan, forcing her to become a web novelist under the pen name Baishui Zhenren.

Upon returning to the Qi family mansion, Qi Quan displayed a starkly different demeanor from her predecessor. When her eldest brother attempted to send her home after she caused a scene at a banquet by accusing Qi Yingxue of stealing her fiancé, she agreed calmly, confusing her family. That night, she registered on Scream Literature City and published the first chapter of The Rich and Powerful's Diary, a first-person narrative detailing her experiences within the Qi family. Her younger brother, Qi Yuan, read the chapter to mock it but became intrigued by the omission of his own role in the story. He attempted to leave a negative comment but was blocked by the site's moderation system, prompting him to ask his friend Su Nuannuan to post it for him.

The narrative took a supernatural turn when the final paragraph of the first chapter described a mysterious five-year-old boy calling Su Linhai, the father of Su Nuannuan and a powerful business magnate, "Daddy." Su Nuannuan, initially skeptical, confronted her father, who denied having an illegitimate child but revealed hidden distress when pressed about the details. Realizing the account might be accurate, Su Linhai rushed to the Qi residence, bypassing protocol to demand a meeting with Qi Quan. He offered substantial financial compensation for her help in locating the child, but Qi Quan maintained she was merely a writer, hinting that Su Linhai should support her work through the platform's mechanisms instead.

Understanding the implication, Su Linhai donated one hundred thousand yuan to the novel, propelling it to the top of the homepage donation chart. This influx of traffic attracted readers, including Qi Yingxue, who left negative reviews out of spite. Despite the mixed reception, the donations provided Qi Quan with significant prestige points, extending her lifespan. She then used a metaphysical ritual involving Su Linhai's hair to pinpoint the location of the spirit child, confirming the boy was not a living illegitimate offspring but a restless spirit seeking resolution. With this knowledge, she prepared the next chapter of her diary, intending to use her writing as a conduit to address the supernatural issues haunting the wealthy families of Longjiang City, thereby merging her literary career with her metaphysical expertise to survive.
