Yun Hua’s father came to Jiangxi City to build his career when Yun Hua just started elementary school.

He contacted a lot of retired soldiers and started a security firm.

The security firm was unstable in the early stages, so Yun Congjun was too busy to deal with Yun Hua and her mother, who were in the countryside.

It was only until two years ago—when Yun Hua was in sixth grade—that her father brought his wife and daughter to Jiangxi City to reunite the family.

In the countryside, her grandma favored boys, so she did not like Yun Hua at all. She did not like Yun Hua’s mother, Jiang Huanqing, at all. She took advantage of the fact that her mother did not have any family. Yun Hua’s mother put up with it silently for the sake of her daughter.

But Jiang Huanqing was very strict towards Yun Hua’s education, and the girl was talented too, often placing first in school!

The mother-daughter pair thought that their lives would be better after moving to the city, getting away from her sexist grandma and uncle, and reuniting with her father.

But never did the previous life’s Yun Hua imagine that she would slowly descend into hell!

Because of Xiao Ruyue’s ploy, all the students and teachers thought that she was promiscuous. No matter where Yun Hua went, the people avoided her and talked about her.

Her originally good grades fell drastically.

The Qi family annulled Yun Hua’s marriage agreement, and her parents got divorced. In the face of all these blows, Yun Hua became depressed and lost the will to study.

But what really crushed her was Xiao Ruyue breaking her legs on the eve of the national swim meet. The surgery did not go well, and she could not even walk properly from then on, not to mention continue swimming competitively!

Yun Hua became an invalid, both psychologically and physically.

But there was always a way out; even when Yun Hua locked herself up in her room, her talent did not go unnoticed.

She spent her time reading web novels, which is why she came up with the idea of writing novels.

She was a talented writer, and things spiraled from there.

What was meant to be an outlet for her pain brought her fame!

Her first novel was a success; a publisher was interested in it!

On top of that, she even received a generous remuneration for it!

The already depressed Yun Hua was revitalized. Although she could not continue with competitive swimming, she could write novels and become a famous author!

She wrote day and night, book after book. In the short span of a year, she became a web novel sensation!

But little did Yun Hua expect Xiao Ruyue to rob her of her last bit of interest!

When she signed the contract with the web novel site, she was underaged, so she could not sign for herself. She did not think it through and used her father’s identification to sign the contract since she didn’t think she would be that successful.

The site actually had a contract meant for underage authors. All they needed was the identification of the guardian and the author’s family registry.

But Yun Hua signed the contract under her father, Yun Congjun’s name. That meant that the pen name she was writing under belonged to her father!

Under Xiao Ruyue’s begging and guile, Yun Congjun got in touch with the site and told them that the pen name actually belonged to his daughter, Yun Ruyue. He told them that she had used his name to sign the contract when she was underaged.

The site then proceeded to sign a new contract with Yun Congjun and Yun Ruyue.

With that, all of the books that Yun Hua poured her heart and soul into, as well as her pen name, belonged to Xiao Ruyue!

From then on, all the books she wrote and the pen name had nothing to do with Yun Hua at all!

Xiao Ruyue had robbed her of the last bit of life!
