Synopsis

Marriage

Face Slapping

Bias

True and Fake Heiress

Plot Twists

Feel-Good Story

I was the real heiress who had just been found and brought home. After I returned to my family, my parents did not favor the fake heiress like the rumors claimed. Instead, they put me first in everything. I quickly integrated into this social circle, and even the fake heiress' childhood friend, Drake Weston, showed interest in me. On the day my father asked me to choose a marriage partner, I was walking toward Drake when pop-up messages suddenly appeared before my eyes. [Don't choose him. He's always loved the fake heiress. He's only getting close to you to seize the family assets in your hands. If you choose him, you're as good as dead. He'd risk his life for the fake heiress, and she's been trying to kill you all along.] I stopped and turned toward the Lockwood family's illegitimate son, Callum Lockwood. Another pop-up message appeared before my eyes. [Choose him. He's kind-hearted and family-oriented, and he's secretly in love with you. You won't go wrong choosing him.] In my previous life, I was misled by the pop-up messages and chose Callum, who seemed harmless. It turned out he was the one who loved the fake heiress. Less than a year after our marriage, they plotted together and killed me. Only after I died did I learn the fake heiress had manipulated all those pop-up messages. She even killed my parents and inherited all my family's assets. This time, I chose Drake without hesitation. The fake heiress and Callum completely lost their composure.

Chapter 1

"Vy, who do you want to choose?" Mom asked me gently. "You don't need to worry about anything. No matter who it is, as long as you like him, your father and I will support you."

I nodded. I had just taken a step toward Drake Weston when lines of pop-up messages began scrolling before my eyes.

[Don't choose Drake Weston under any circumstances! He's obsessed with Sienna!]

[Drake is only getting close to you to steal your shares. He's already slept with Sienna!]

In my previous life, I was frightened by these messages that seemed to come from an omniscient perspective. I thought they were warnings from fate itself. Hence, I publicly humiliated Drake and chose Callum Lockwood, who stood in the corner.

Less than a year after the wedding, Callum started slipping slow-acting poison into my food and drinks, leaving me paralyzed and bedridden.

Meanwhile, the fake heiress, Sienna Harlow, took all the family's assets with a forged will. She even slept with Callum right in front of me.

At the present moment, I took a deep breath and suppressed the rage surging in my chest. I walked straight toward Drake and extended my hand gracefully. "Mr. Weston, would you be willing to become my fiancé?"

The room instantly went silent. The pop-up messages that were scrolling frantically a moment ago suddenly lagged. The sound of shattering glass came from behind me. I did not need to turn around to know Sienna had lost her composure.

Drake looked slightly stunned. Those naturally carefree eyes of his brightened instantly. He looked me up and down, as if trying to confirm whether I had lost my mind.

"Violet, are you sure?" His lips parted slightly, his voice carrying a lazy, magnetic quality.

I gave a small smile and said with a firm voice, "My instinct tells me you're the one."

In the corner, Callum's face turned deathly pale. He looked like he might collapse at any moment.

Drake smiled with brilliant arrogance and placed his hand in my palm.

Sienna forgot all about maintaining her composure and rushed forward to stop me. "Violet! Have you lost your mind? You just came back. You don't understand the situation in our circle at all. Drake has a terrible temper and a bad reputation. Most importantly..."She bit her lip, glanced at Drake, and then looked back at me. "He already has someone in his heart. If you force him like this, you won't be happy!"Callum seemed to have received a signal and stumbled forward. "That's right, Ms. Violet..." His eyes were red-rimmed, his voice slightly choked."A relationship that's forced never works out. Actually, instead of choosing someone who doesn't love you, why not look at the people around you who truly understand and cherish you?"The pop-up messages before my eyes started spinning their narrative again.[Listen! What a kind boy!][Are you really going to be a heartbreaker? Callum is being so humble!][Drake is damaged goods. Even Sienna doesn't want him, but you're treating hi

The banquet did not end because of this episode. Instead, it became even livelier. However, I knew Sienna would never let this go.Soon enough, new pop-up messages appeared.[The Harlow parents are actually giving the family heirloom to the fake heiress!][My God, they're not even pretending anymore. They favor the real heiress openly but secretly prioritize the fake heiress in everything?][I feel so bad for her! She should just destroy the heirloom. After all, it'll become the key weapon the fake heiress uses to bring her down later.]Looking at the messages, I sneered inwardly. It was the same trick yet again. This time, however, the script needed rewriting.I turned and walked straight into the room where the family heirloom was kept. Ten minutes later, the family's old butler, Caleb Hughes, ran into the hall with a panicked expression, heading straight for Dad."Sir! Something terrible has happened! The emerald ring your father left behind is missing from the study!"Dad's

Chapter 4
Callum collapsed to the ground in terror, trembling all over.In the elite circles of the capital, stealing from the host, especially a family heirloom, was a crime that would ruin one for life once proven. The Lockwood family would be disgraced along with him."It wasn't me! It really wasn't me!" Callum suddenly grabbed onto Sienna's legs. "Sienna! You have to save me! You know I didn't steal anything, right? It was..."He wanted to tell the truth. Sienna's expression changed drastically. Without any hesitation, Sienna raised her hand and slapped Callum hard across the face with a sharp crack. "Callum! You've truly disappointed me!"Sienna looked utterly heartbroken, her finger trembling as she pointed at Callum. "I treated you as a friend and kindly brought you to my family's banquet to broaden your horizons. And you... You actually had sticky fingers and stole from my family!""I didn't..." Callum clutched his face, staring at the woman before him in disbelief."Still making e

Chapter 5
To appease Sienna and maintain the Harlow family's reputation, my parents did not immediately throw her out over the ring incident. To let her 'atone through merit', Dad even put her in charge of organizing my engagement ceremony with Drake.Sienna appeared compliant, keeping her head down and bustling about as if she had truly turned over a new leaf. However, I knew this was just the calm before the storm.The engagement ceremony was set for three days later.During these three days, I did not see any pop-up messages before my eyes. It was unusually quiet—until the night before the engagement. The Harlow residence blazed with lights as maids busied themselves preparing the venue for tomorrow.I was sitting in the study when lines of text suddenly appeared before my eyes, scrolling rapidly with a kind of manic excitement.[Is the protagonist blind? She doesn't want such a good man and insists on that piece of trash?][Tonight is the finale! That vicious supporting male character,

However, the moment Sienna lifted the blanket, a tremendous force struck from behind. A solid wooden baseball bat slammed hard into the back of her head. Sienna did not even make a sound. She instantly went limp and collapsed onto the bed.I emerged from behind the door, bat in hand, and looked at Sienna, who was lying on the bed. Then, I glanced at Callum in the next room. He was burning with desire and rubbing against his pillow."Since you two love each other so much, I'll help you out." I dragged Sienna by one leg like a sack all the way to my room.Callum had already lost his mind. The moment he sensed someone enter, he latched on like an octopus.I tossed Sienna onto the bed in disgust. Under the effect of the aphrodisiac, combined with the lingering smell of alcohol on Sienna, Callum instantly found his outlet."Sienna... is that you… Violet..."He rambled incoherently in his delirium, tearing off Sienna's clothes with his hands and feet. I stood at the door watching this

On the large bed, a man and woman were indeed tangled together. Both were naked and sleeping soundly, while an indescribable smell hung in the air.Startled awake by the camera flashes and screaming, the woman on the bed groggily lifted her head, revealing a pale and terrified face.It was not me.It was Sienna. And the man in her arms also woke up with a scream. After seeing who lay beside him, he looked absolutely horrified."Ah! How is it you! Sienna?" Callum grabbed the blanket to cover his face, but the reporters' cameras had already captured everything. Some were even livestreaming it.The comments in the live stream exploded.[Holy shit! Isn't that the Harlow family's adopted daughter, Sienna?][That guy is Callum, the one who got kicked out for stealing a few days ago!][Oh my God! The night before her sister's engagement, she was fooling around in her sister's room? This is explosive!][These two have always played the innocent card. Disgusting!]My parents stood in

Chapter 8
One week later, I was helping Drake try on suits for the wedding. I imagined him in a crisp white suit, handsome as a prince.My phone suddenly vibrated. It was a photo message from an unknown number. In the photo, Drake was tied to a concrete pillar, and his mouth was sealed with duct tape. His eyes were filled with terror.The background showed an abandoned chemical warehouse. Then, my phone rang."Violet." A hoarse, sinister voice came through the line. It was Sienna. She sounded demonic. "Want to save him? Come alone to the west suburb chemical plant. Don't call the police, or I'll blow him up! Oh, and bring your share transfer documents."My knuckles turned white as I gripped the phone, suppressing the murderous rage rising in my chest. "Fine. Don't touch him."I hung up and turned to look at the empty fitting room. Drake had gone to change into the second suit. That must have been when they took him!Sienna had crossed the line.Half an hour later, I arrived at the west su

A crisp gunshot rang out. A SWAT sniper hidden in the shadows had pulled the trigger. The bullet struck Sienna's right wrist precisely, hitting the hand holding the remote control.Sienna screamed. Her wrist became a bloody mess as the remote flew from her grip and fell into the tank below."Move in!"At the command, several SWAT officers burst through the windows.I shot forward and kicked Callum away as he tried to retrieve the remote. He slammed hard into the wall and lost consciousness immediately.SWAT officers rushed to the control panel and released Drake's restraints. The moment Drake landed, he stumbled but steadied himself, then pulled me into his arms. He held me tightly, his jaw clenched. "Don't ever do something that reckless again."I held him tightly, feeling his warmth. My heart finally settled back in my chest.Behind me, two SWAT officers pinned Sienna to the ground. She still struggled wildly, shouting at the air, "Where are the messages? The pop-up messages!
