Cold CEO Injured, Ignored By All, But Shockingly Only Poor Girl Gave Him Care—Fate Flips!

In a world where stories twist and turn like the winds of fate, Ji Nian found herself thrust into the pages of a novel called Daddy’s Sweetheart. Not as the cherished protagonist, but as the villain—a neglected daughter despised by her father, Ji Tingzhou, the cold and enigmatic head of the Ji family. Haunted by his own abusive childhood, Ji Tingzhou loathed the blood that ran through his veins, including that of his own daughter, Nian Nian. Yet, this was no ordinary tale, for Nian Nian was not the original occupant of this body. Guided by a mysterious book-transference assistant system, she was a soul displaced, tasked with navigating a tragic fate meant for another.

Nian Nian awoke in a rundown building, her body weak from days without food, her mind reeling from the system’s revelation: she was the despised daughter, rival to Tang Tang, the adopted girl Ji Tingzhou doted on. The original Nian Nian, broken by the knowledge of her doomed future, had her memory erased and was reincarnated elsewhere. Now, it was up to Nian Nian to rewrite the story, to survive in a world where her father saw her as a reminder of his hated lineage, born of schemes and conspiracies.

At first, survival was her only goal. Starving and frail, she approached Ji Tingzhou, her “handsome brother,” with innocent pleas for snacks, unaware of his identity. His cold demeanor and disdain for the Ji family bloodline chilled her, but his fleeting moments of kindness—offering her food, sparing her from his wrath—sparked hope. The system urged her to cling to him, for he was her key to survival, despite his apparent preference for Tang Tang, the daughter of his late subordinate, Shen Rushan.

As Nian Nian navigated the Ji estate, she uncovered layers of pain and mistrust. The nanny, Zhang Yulan, had embezzled funds meant for her care, leaving her starved and beaten. When Ji Tingzhou discovered this, his fury led to the nanny’s dismissal, a small victory for Nian Nian. Yet, his heart seemed reserved for Tang Tang, who called him “Uncle Ji” and basked in his affection. Nian Nian, however, refused to be sidelined. Her persistence, her small acts of kindness—like sharing her precious Mimi shrimp crackers—began to chip away at Ji Tingzhou’s icy exterior.

Danger lurked beyond the estate’s walls. A plot orchestrated by Chen Mo, who believed Ji Tingzhou responsible for his sister Chen Yueling’s death, stranded Nian Nian and her father on a deserted island. There, Ji Tingzhou’s true character emerged. He gave Nian Nian all the food and water, even his own blood, to keep her alive, revealing a love buried beneath guilt and self-loathing. On that island, as they faced death together, Nian Nian called him “Dad” for the first time, and a bond began to form.

Back at the Ji estate, truths unraveled. Chen Mo, driven by years of misguided hatred, discovered Nian Nian was his niece, the daughter of his beloved sister Chen Yueling, born through an accidental IVF donation from Ji Tingzhou. The real culprit behind Chen Yueling’s death was the second son of the Ji family, who had framed Ji Tingzhou to fuel Chen Mo’s vendetta. Confronted with this truth, Chen Mo sought forgiveness, and Nian Nian, with her boundless heart, embraced him as family, urging her father and uncle to reconcile.

Through it all, Nian Nian remained a beacon of resilience. She navigated kindergarten, made friends, and stood up for Tang Tang, whom she treated as a sister despite the estate’s favoritism toward the adopted girl. At a grand family reunion banquet, Ji Tingzhou publicly acknowledged Nian Nian as his biological daughter, silencing whispers of inheritance disputes. He showered her with gifts—dresses, puzzles, a trip to Neverland—each act a step toward healing the wounds of neglect.

On her sixth birthday, surrounded by Ji Tingzhou, Tang Tang, Chen Mo, and loyal retainers like Zhi Liao and Wei Yang, Nian Nian felt the warmth of a true family. Ji Tingzhou, once a distant “Master,” was now “Dad,” his love evident in every protective gesture, every bedtime story. Chen Mo, no longer a vengeful uncle, brought tales of her mother, while Tang Tang shared in the joy of sisterhood. Nian Nian, once a villain destined for tragedy, had rewritten her story.

As the system faded, its purpose fulfilled, Nian Nian stood tall, her heart full. “System,” she whispered, “I never thought the story would end like this.” The response came softly: “You’re so happy now, you’ve changed the ending. Time to step down gracefully.” With her father’s hand in hers, Nian Nian faced the future—not as a villain, but as a beloved daughter, surrounded by a family forged not just by blood, but by love, forgiveness, and second chances.
