My Second Chance: Raising Fortune's Child

Sophia Shen, the heiress of the prestigious Shen family, married Daniel Xue as a live-in son-in-law, believing it to be a perfect match. However, Daniel, insecure about his infertility, betrayed Sophia by having an affair with her stepsister, Lily Han. Lily gave birth to a Fortune-Draining Pixiu Child—a child believed to siphon luck from others. To protect himself, Daniel manipulated Sophia into adopting the child as her own. Only on her deathbed did Sophia learn the truth, including a fateful bet between the Qilin (Fortune-Bringer) and the Pixiu. Consumed by regret, she died in anguish. But fate gave her a second chance. Sophia woke up, reborn on the very day she was to adopt the child. This time, she insisted on taking in the true Qilin Child, her daughter Pearl Shen, while tricking Daniel and Lily into raising the Pixiu Child, Xander Xue-Han, believing him to be the Qilin. As the two children were brought home, their opposing fortunes took effect—luck for Sophia, misfortune for Lily. Determined to reclaim her life, Sophia schemed to drive the cheating couple out of the Shen family. She staged a series of ""lucky"" financial events around Xander, reinforcing Lily’s belief that he was the Qilin. Meanwhile, Sophia secretly built her own wealth and connections with Pearl’s blessings. Lily, now convinced she held the true Qilin, grew arrogant. Her reckless ambition led to Daniel losing his job, while Sophia regained control of the Shen empire. Lily soon drowned in debt, with creditors—and even Daniel—turning against her. After a string of misfortunes, Daniel and Lily began doubting Xander’s identity. Daniel discovered the truth first and plotted to steal Pearl for himself, but he died in a car crash during the kidnapping. Lily, now desperate, used Xander to abduct Pearl. In a heart-wrenching showdown, Sophia agreed to Lily’s cruel demands to save her daughter—only to fall to her death during the exchange. But once again, Sophia awoke—this time, as her 18-year-old self. The Qilin, moved by her kindness, had ascended to divinity and granted her another chance to rewrite destiny."
