Reborn to Swap Fates: The Heiress Is Not to Be Provoked
Chu Ning and Yanyan are orphan girls living in the same orphanage. Their fates diverged drastically in their past life. Yanyan was adopted by wealthy lady Qiao Wanmian, becoming the beloved Meng family heiress. Spoiled and jealous, she obsessed over Gu Youchen, heir of the Gu Group, and constantly targeted Chu Ning. Meanwhile, Chu Ning was adopted by the Meng family’s maid and endured endless suffering. She worked relentlessly and rose to become a movie queen, yet was constantly slandered for relying on others to get ahead. In the end, Qiao Wanmian was murdered by her husband and the maid in an insurance fraud scheme. Yanyan was committed to a psychiatric hospital. On the night of Chu Ning’s Best Actress award ceremony, Yanyan dragged Chu Ning to jump off a building, and both died. Burdened with blood-deep hatred and endless regrets from their past life, the two girls are reborn simultaneously, returning to the crucial moment when their adoption fate would be decided. Yanyan believes her past tragedy stemmed from bad choices after entering the wealthy household. She voluntarily chooses the maid Cheng Yan as her guardian, hoping to escape strict discipline and marry into the Gu Family easily. Chu Ning remembers that Qiao Wanmian once saved her life in her previous life, and resolves to protect her benefactor. However, slander from the orphanage director leads Qiao Wanmian to mistakenly believe Chu Ning has poor character. With sound judgment and bold resolve, Chu Ning wins Qiao Wanmian’s trust and is adopted. Guided by Qiao Wanmian, she enters a top university and grows into an independent, confident heiress. In contrast, Yanyan is influenced by Cheng Yan to chase men and profit. She schemes nonstop, repeatedly provoking Chu Ning, pretending to be an innocent girl to win Gu Youchen’s favor — only to be publicly exposed every time. Gu Youchen has always cared for Chu Ning, who saved him in childhood. No matter how Yanyan plots and frames her, he firmly stands by and protects Chu Ning. Refusing to give up, Yanyan resorts to drugging schemes, impersonating Gu Youchen’s childhood savior, snatching film resources, and even colluding with outsiders to destroy Chu Ning. She ultimately suffers bitter consequences, left disfigured by botched plastic surgery and drowning in debt. At the same time, Chu Ning moves step by step to expose the conspiracy of Meng Guotao and Cheng Yan, who murdered Qiao Wanmian for insurance money. She helps Qiao Wanmian stage her fake death, trapping the villainous couple. Behind the scenes, Shen Mohan emerges, revealing a twenty-year family feud and the secret behind their rebirth. Finally, Yanyan wakes up to the truth and turns against the villains, providing vital evidence.
