After Transmigrating as the "Green Tea" Fake Heiress, I Got My Happy Ending with the Real Heiress - Chapter 1

Chapter 1

“Detecting a qualified foreign soul, binding to host… Binding successful!”

“Original content loading…”

“Basic user interface initializing…”

…What’s that sound?

As Wen Yun’s consciousness returned, she felt a buzzing in her head, accompanied by a cheerful female voice. She suspected it was just a hallucination from being overworked and sleep-deprived. She reached for her phone on the bedside table to check the time.

Instead, her fingertips touched a cold, flat surface.

Wen Yun was startled. She instinctively opened her eyes, but instead of her simple desk, she saw… a car window?!

This scared her awake, and she looked around in confusion. She was in a strange car, sitting in the passenger seat!

“Host, please don’t be anxious or afraid!” The female voice spoke again. “You have now entered the world of The Real Heiress’s Comeback. Your current identity is…”

“What the hell?!” Wen Yun was in shock. “Isn’t this the badly written novel I just finished?!”

Wen Yun didn’t have many hobbies, but reading was one of them. She had recently been following a series tagged as a “real heiress’s comeback” and a “revenge story.” She had wanted to read something thrilling to relax after a stressful overtime week, but the more she read, the more frustrated she became.

In the book, the real heiress, Ruan Yu, who had been swapped at birth, was brought back to the Wen family, but her parents didn’t love her. Everyone looked down on her as a country bumpkin who didn’t fit in with high society.

Ruan Yu wasn’t discouraged. She believed it was her own fault, so from the day she arrived at the Wen family, she worked tirelessly. She studied hard, eventually getting into the prestigious school’s top class despite her weak foundation. She also learned everything from playing instruments and painting to mastering the etiquette required of a high-society young lady. She even begged the butler to teach her proper manners over and over again.

However, just when she thought she had earned her parents’ love, the fake heiress, Wen Yun, repeatedly framed her. Although she did nothing wrong, she became an outcast. Her only friend warned her to “behave herself” and left without a second thought.

In the end, her birth parents grew tired of her. They disowned her and ruthlessly kicked her out of the Wen family.

When Wen Yun reached this point in the story, she thought it was the start of the real heiress’s comeback. But the plot that followed was a slap in the face.

Ruan Yu was kicked out just before the final push for college entrance exams. After everything she had been through, she was in a very low state when she took the exam. When the results came out, the pressure from her grades, relationships, and environment became too much. In a moment of despair, she chose to end her life.

The text even explicitly stated: Ruan Yu died on her eighteenth birthday in the middle of summer. That same day was the fake heiress’s birthday. While everyone was celebrating Wen Yun’s birthday, Ruan Yu took an overdose of sleeping pills and quietly lay on a shabby hotel bed, ending her short life in indescribable pain.

When Wen Yun got to this part, especially seeing the words “The End,” she felt like she had a fishbone stuck in her throat. She stubbornly clicked on the book’s details, and when she saw “Completed,” she swore out loud.

What a “real heiress’s comeback” story! The birth parents who had despised the real heiress and ignored her efforts from the start showed no remorse! The manipulative fake heiress, who constantly tripped up the main character and indirectly drove her to her death, didn’t receive any punishment and lived a wonderful life until the end.

Furious, Wen Yun immediately went to the comments section and joined other readers in a rant about the author’s deceptive summary and terrible ending:

“What ‘the real heiress’s comeback’? More like ‘the real heiress’s suffering’!”

“If you can’t write a satisfying story, don’t write it! Using a ‘comeback’ tag for a depressing plot is sick, the author must be crazy!!”

As for what happened next…

As the novel’s plot came to her, Wen Yun also remembered what happened to her. She had just finished her night shift and was walking home alone. Overcome with anger, she was so focused on typing her rant in the comments section that she wasn’t watching where she was going. All she heard was a blaring horn and screeching tires, followed by a moment of intense pain before she blacked out.

“…So, I died and transmigrated into a book?” she mumbled, asking herself and the voice in her head. Based on the web novels she had read, this voice calling her “host” must be the system she was bound to.

“That’s right! After an evaluation, your life signs in your original world have completely disappeared, and your emotional output toward this world has reached a certain value, fulfilling the basic requirements of a transmigrator!” the system explained, still in a cheerful tone, like a lively young girl.

Wen Yun read a wide variety of novels, so she accepted this supernatural setting quickly. The only thing was…

“Who did you say I transmigrated as?” she asked, a little slow on the uptake.

“Your current identity is: The fake heiress, Wen Yun,” the system timidly added.

“…” Wen Yun couldn’t help but gasp.

Of all the characters, it had to be the one she hated the most! The fake heiress, Wen Yun, a cruel, manipulative character who used “green tea” tactics—like subtle condescension and stirring up trouble—to torment the real heiress!

According to the original novel’s summary, she was supposed to be the villain who got her comeuppance, the minor antagonist who the real heiress would trample on after her comeback. But for some reason, the author went crazy, and the real heiress, who should have made a comeback, was instead pushed into the mud by the fake heiress, eventually choosing to end her own life!

Before Wen Yun could ask, the system introduced itself. “My full name is the ‘Green Tea System.’ My duty is to supervise the host’s ‘green tea’ remarks and provide the host with various auxiliary items.”

“‘Green tea’ remarks?” Wen Yun was confused.

“Exactly, Host!” the system chirped. “When you make a remark that meets the criteria, you can earn ‘Green Tea Points,’ which can be used to buy items, especially life-extending items that increase your survival time!”

“Life-extending items? Survival time?” Wen Yun frowned, feeling a chill down her spine. “How long can I live now?”

“Your initial survival time is one day, or 24 hours,” the system replied.

Wen Yun: ???

“Only one day??” She was on the verge of a breakdown. “You’re telling me I can’t live if I don’t use ‘green tea’ remarks?!”

“You could put it that way,” the system confirmed her deduction. “Also, your survival time is deducted after midnight every day, and you can check the value anytime. As long as you have enough time stored up, you’ll be fine!”

Despite the system’s encouragement, Wen Yun’s frown deepened. “But I hated ‘green tea’ people in my last life! I don’t know how to make ‘green tea’ remarks at all!”

“Don’t worry, this system can provide ‘green tea’ remark templates for any situation!” the system replied confidently. “If you can’t think of a suitable remark, it’s perfectly fine to just read from the template.”

Wen Yun: …

It seemed she had to become a “green tea” no matter what, just to stay alive.

“Did I get bound to you because the original character was a ‘green tea’ girl?” she asked.

“Yes, Host,” the system answered. “However, this system does not restrict you from staying in character. But you are responsible for any consequences or questions that arise from not being in character.”

Wen Yun sighed in relief. It was a good thing it wasn’t mandatory.

“So, what should I do now?” she asked again.

“According to the plot, you have just picked up the protagonist, Ruan Yu, from the countryside, and you are on your way back to the Wen family home,” the system said. “In three minutes, the car will be at the front door!”

Wen Yun remembered this beginning scene. According to her memory, after the protagonist Ruan Yu got out of the car, her show of curiosity and timidity toward the Wen family mansion upset the butler. Once inside, her lack of elegant and dignified manners led her birth parents to criticize her as “not good enough for society.” She was then placed in a guest room on the first floor.

Wen Yun actually felt disgusted by these parents. They had never raised the protagonist, yet they expected her to have the same social grace and talents as the fake heiress. If she didn’t, they would call her a “country bumpkin” and look down on her. It was ridiculous and absurd!

Just as Wen Yun was fuming, she heard a violent cough from the backseat. She was startled and looked back instinctively. A girl in a simple short-sleeved shirt and long pants, with shoulder-length hair, was covering her mouth with both hands, coughing and gagging, with tears in her eyes and a pained expression.

Their eyes met, and Wen Yun realized who this girl was. It was none other than the protagonist, the real heiress Ruan Yu!

At the same time, Wen Yun saw a line of text appear in her mind. She instinctively read it:

“Sorry, Xiao Yu, the driver didn’t do it on purpose. We didn’t know you got car sick so badly.”

“I’ll tell the driver to go faster so you can get home and rest sooner. You won’t mind, will you?”

Wen Yun: ???

What in the world was this? It made her speechless.

“Is this the ‘green tea’ remark template?” she asked the system.

“Yes, Host,” the system confirmed. “The essence of ‘green tea’ remarks is to act weak, pretend to be pitiful, and then subtly shift the blame. With the right acting, you can hide your ulterior motives behind a soft and harmless appearance.”

Wen Yun barely understood and was even more disgusted by the so-called “green tea remarks.” The protagonist was already coughing and looked so uncomfortable. Was this really a good time to be so passive-aggressive?

Wen Yun took a deep breath, closed the template, and thought for a moment. An idea suddenly popped into her head. She turned to the driver and said, “Sister Luo, Xiao Yu looks very unwell. I didn’t know she got car sick so badly. Could you please drive a little slower?” She paused and then added, “You won’t mind, will you?”
