Looking at the thin girl before her, Zhao Huizhen thought of all the hardship her own daughter had endured over the past decade or so. Her eyes reddened again.

Once they were inside, Zhao Huizhen took a card from her bag and pressed it into Shen Luoluo's hand. "Luoluo, there's two million on this card. It's spending money from your dad and me."

Shen Ting'an put an arm around his wife's shoulders and added, "We'll put another two hundred thousand on it every month. If that's not enough, just tell us."

Two million?! Shen Luoluo stared at the card in her hand, stunned for several seconds. So this was what rich people were like?! They handed out millions without blinking! In the real world, she could study day and night to get into college, then work hard her whole life and still might not earn even a few million.

And another two hundred thousand would come in every month. For that kind of money, forget being an unloved daughter—she would happily be invisible in this house!

Nobody turned down money.

Before coming back, she had already made up her mind. It didn't matter if this family didn't like her; she barely knew them anyway. Once she saved enough money and got into college, she would move far away and disappear without a trace. She definitely wouldn't get in their way!

"Oh, right, Luoluo, your room's on the second floor. Want to see it?" Zhao Huizhen asked as she led Shen Luoluo upstairs.

Zhao Huizhen held Shen Luoluo's hand tightly, her eyes red. "We didn't have much time, so we only managed some simple decorating. The room's a little small, but don't worry, Luoluo. Your dad and I have already contacted—"

"Mom, Dad, you're back!" A sweet voice suddenly cut her off.

Beside them, a white door carved with delicate patterns swung open. Shen Anya stepped out.

When Shen Anya saw Shen Luoluo, her smile grew even sweeter. "You're back too, sis!" She wore a pink silk nightgown, her long, slightly curled hair draped over her shoulders and a LinaBell hair clip pinned in it.

Shen Luoluo still remembered how the book described her: beautiful, sweet-voiced, kind, and considerate, just like a little princess who had stepped out of a castle. One look told you she had grown up adored by everyone.

Behind her was a room decorated in pink and white, with a pink-and-white princess bed and an elegant dressing table covered in bottles and jars of every kind. LinaBell dolls filled an entire wall, and a huge walk-in closet stood nearby.

So this was the room that was supposed to be mine?

Shen Luoluo remembered this part of the story too. In the book, the original Shen Luoluo came home with her parents. Shen Anya had also come back early because she had class the next day, and the four of them happened to meet on the second floor, much like they had now.

Seeing Shen Anya's beautiful princess room while she herself had been given a small, plain white room had left the original Shen Luoluo feeling resentful.

She had believed the beautiful princess room should have been hers, but Shen Anya, the daughter who wasn't a Shen by birth, had taken it over! Worse, even after she came back, her parents hadn't asked Shen Anya to give up the room. Instead, they put her in the small room at the end of the hall. It made her feel they liked Shen Anya more and didn't like her at all!

Of course, that was only one small incident. Many more followed, piling up until the original Shen Luoluo finally snapped. That was why she later kept targeting Shen Anya, courting disaster at every turn.

But that was the original Shen Luoluo. She herself truly didn't care.

Any room is fine. It doesn't matter whether this family likes me, either. I'll move out and leave this place eventually anyway.

With that thought, she gave Shen Anya a nod in acknowledgment and said, "I'm going to my room to rest."

Then she went into the last room without looking back.

Zhao Huizhen watched Shen Luoluo leave, her eyes growing even redder. Her voice caught. "Did you hear that?"

"Yeah." Shen Ting'an's expression was grim too, his brows drawn tight. "I heard."

"Hear what?" Shen Anya looked at them in confusion, with no idea what they were talking about.

The couple exchanged a glance before Shen Ting'an spoke. "Anya, there's something your mom and I would like to discuss with you."

Meanwhile, Shen Luoluo returned to her room.

It was just as the novel described: smaller than Shen Anya's room and nowhere near as fancy. It didn't even have a walk-in closet.

The decorations were simple, but it had everything she needed. Pale tones gave it a clean, fresh, elegant look. This was a rich family's house, after all. How bad could it be?

For a place she was only staying in for now, Shen Luoluo really wasn't that picky.

She quickly unpacked, took a shower, and fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow.

She slept soundly through the night.

The next morning, the rustling sounds of things being moved outside woke her. Just then, Aunt Chen, the housekeeper, knocked on her door and called her down for breakfast.

Today was the day she had to report to school, so Shen Luoluo hurried out of bed. Once she was ready and stepped outside, she discovered that things were being moved out of Shen Anya's room. Several workers were quietly carrying her belongings downstairs.

Shen Anya herself stood in the doorway, staring at Shen Luoluo with red eyes.

Shen Luoluo had no interest in what Shen Anya was doing and wanted as little to do with her as possible. She took one look and went downstairs.

Seeing Shen Luoluo walk past her with an innocent expression made Shen Anya's eyes grow even redder with anger.

She didn't understand. All she had done was open her door and say hello. They hadn't even exchanged three sentences. So why? Why were Mom and Dad making her give her room to Shen Luoluo?!

This wasn't how it was supposed to happen. It was nothing like the dream she had been having lately!

For the past month, Shen Anya had kept having the same dream. In it, she was the daughter the Shen Family had taken home by mistake. Their biological daughter was someone else, and the reason she had become a daughter of the Shen Family was her Koi Luck.

With Koi Luck on her side, fortune had always favored her. Not only had she become a daughter of the Shen Family, but many people loved her too. Even after the Shen Family learned she wasn't their biological daughter, they hadn't sent her away. They had treated her as their own. After all, the bond they had built over more than a decade wasn't something they could just throw away!
