Huh? I transmigrated into a novel?

Gu Luosheng kicked the bucket.

Her new drama had become a huge hit, and she got so excited at the celebration banquet that her heart stopped.

After finally making it, she went and did herself in.

Then she transmigrated into a novel called "The Fake Heiress's Invincible Luck Takes Her Straight to the Top."

She had read the story a hundred and eighty times and cursed the heroine three hundred and eighty times.

Great. Just great. It was as though heaven had heard her thoughts.

In this world, she became a wealthy family's true heiress, neatly avoiding the heroine's role, but... she was also major cannon fodder.

In the novel, her entire family was cannon fodder, paving the way for the heroine.

The true heiress had thought returning to her wealthy birth family would mean a good life. Instead, the fake heiress played weak and pitiful to stay with the Gu Family. Their three older brothers doted on the fake heiress while treating the real one horribly, and the true heiress ultimately met a terrible end.

Now that she thought about how she was going to be that cannon-fodder supporting character...

She wanted to cry.

What misery. Utter misery!

[Don't cry, host!]

Who's there? Gu Luosheng jolted at the voice. Oh, crap. Does the true heiress have something wrong with her brain, too? The novel never mentioned that!

[Host, don't be afraid. I'm the Gossip System, and I'm here to help you. Every time you get some juicy gossip, your luck will increase by one.]

"What good is luck? A cannon-fodder supporting character like me is going to croak sooner or later." Gu Luosheng had already accepted it. The sooner you gave up trying, the sooner you could enjoy life.

[Host, you may be cannon fodder, but you'll have lots and lots of money in the future. Your parents don't love you, but they're rich and gullible. They'll compensate you with money.]

Gu Luosheng perked up at that. Right! The true heiress might not be loved, but she never had to worry about food or clothes. Money poured into her pockets. Unfortunately, that poor sucker had spent it all on the male lead.

What an idiot.

[All right, we've reached the family reunion scene. Your parents just found out their daughter was switched at birth. Hurry to the next hospital room and introduce yourself.]

That would make me look way too eager. Not going.

[Successfully reuniting with them earns you a hundred thousand yuan.]

Which room?

System: Nice.

Only an idiot would turn down money.

Gu Luosheng didn't waste a second. She sprang off the bed, grabbed the DNA test results from the table, and hurried over.

She reached the next hospital room.

A beautiful woman was sitting on the hospital bed.

Beside her were a delicate-looking girl and a stern-faced man who had clearly been quite a hunk in his youth.

Gu Luosheng raised an eyebrow. That had to be the heroine and her worthless dad.

Wow, I never expected my birth mother to be this gorgeous.

Huh? Who's talking?

Xia Zhiyun, who had been feeling a little sleepy, snapped awake at the compliment. Who has such excellent taste?

Too bad her life is so tragic. She's a terrible judge of character and raised an adopted daughter thinking she was her own flesh and blood, but that girl is an ungrateful snake. In the end, my beautiful mother's face was completely ruined, and she was raped by a beggar!

Xia Zhiyun shuddered involuntarily and touched her face. Thankfully, it hadn't been disfigured yet.

But Xia Zhiyun was even more confused...

Who on earth was talking?

Then...

Gu Luosheng turned her gaze to Gu Jingsheng.

Oh my, this dad of mine doesn't fare any better. Gu Luoxi schemes him into bankruptcy, and he ends up jumping off a building. He welcomed a wolf into his home. How sad. How tragic!

Gu Jingsheng's mouth twitched at that.

What was this?

Just then, Gu Luosheng slid into the room and, with a thud... dropped straight to her knees...

"Mom, I'm your long-lost biological daughter!" Afraid her performance wasn't convincing enough, Gu Luosheng pinched her upper thigh hard. This time... it hurt so much she nearly cried.

At last, there were some tears in her eyes.

Xia Zhiyun found that voice... so familiar. It was exactly the same as before!

Could what she had heard earlier have been this girl's thoughts?

"You..." Xia Zhiyun's lips trembled. She couldn't believe the girl before her was her daughter.

"Mom, please don't let a scammer fool you..." Gu Luoxi stepped forward and hurried to speak.

"Lots of people are trying to sneak into the Gu Family by pretending to be my older sister. I know her. She's from the mountains, and she's notoriously washed-up in the entertainment industry. There's no way she's my sister!"

She's panicking. Look at her panic! Heh, that blush looks a little pale. I'd love to slap some more color into her cheeks.

What's your deal? You two-faced little snake, bouncing around like a monkey. What exactly are you trying to pull?

Oh, right. I was so busy talking about my parents that I forgot about myself. I'm the one who has it worst! Good lord, you and that scumbag dump me in an abandoned factory and strangle me to death with a rope. Sure, dead is dead, but I don't want to be your strangled victim.

Hearing her thoughts again, both Xia Zhiyun and Gu Jingsheng felt their hearts lurch. They cast suspicious glances at Gu Luoxi, whom they had always doted on.

Surely not?

Luoxi had always been sweet and well-behaved. She barely dared to raise her voice and worried about stepping on ants when she walked. How could she possibly do something like that?

What was going on with this girl who had appeared out of nowhere?

"Don't worry. I have a DNA test. Take a look if you don't believe me." Gu Luosheng slapped the results down in front of them, leaving a black handprint on the paper in the process.

Anything science could solve wasn't a problem.

At that, Gu Jingsheng hurried closer and read the words on the page...

Probability of biological relationship: 99%.

And the test had been performed by a doctor they trusted deeply. It couldn't be fake!

"She... really is our daughter." Xia Zhiyun trembled, an indescribable feeling welling up inside her.

On one hand, she had finally found her biological daughter. On the other, just as Gu Luoxi had said... this girl was from the mountains and was a washed-up actress to boot. She couldn't help feeling... a little disappointed.

"So you really are my older sister?" Seeing this, Gu Luoxi hurried to put on an act as well. "That's wonderful! I finally get to meet you! I haven't been eating or sleeping properly these past few days because I've been helping Mom look for you."

Urgh, stop pretending, you two-faced snake. You're making me sick!

"Welcome home, sis." Gu Luoxi held out her hand, looking delighted.

Haha, no way am I shaking that. You'll frame me for pushing you.

Xia Zhiyun: ?

But Gu Luoxi stubbornly kept her hand out.

Gu Luosheng smiled brightly on the outside and sneered on the inside.

She made a show of raising her hand, without even touching Gu Luoxi.

Yet with a thud, Gu Luoxi sprawled face-down on the floor, limbs splayed.

Uh... that performance was so overdone that it was hard to know what to say.

"Luoxi, what happened?" Xia Zhiyun jumped in alarm.

"It's okay, Mom. It has nothing to do with my sister. I know she didn't mean it." Gu Luoxi rubbed her arm as she spoke, tears filling her eyes.

"Huh? I didn't push her. I was fixing a fountain pen earlier, and my hands are covered in black ink. If I'd touched her, there would definitely be a handprint. Look for yourselves. Is there one?" Gu Luosheng remained perfectly composed, amusement in her eyes. She was fighting magic with magic.

"If you don't believe me, let's give it a try."

With that, Gu Luosheng slapped Gu Luoxi's clothes, instantly leaving a distinct handprint. "See? If I really had pushed her, it would look like this."

Gu Luoxi: ?

That hurt like hell.

Only Gu Luosheng knew that while her slap hadn't looked particularly forceful, the truth was: Hehehe, smack that two-faced little snake to death!
