Five years ago, I saved a handsome fox out of kindness. I thought he might come back to repay the favor. Instead, the old fox dropped off three little foxes at my doorstep as his "gift." I stared at them, ready to say no thanks. Suddenly, a stream of text—live comments—scrolled across my vision. [Damn, the Real Heiress is fumbling the bag! Those aren't just foxes; they're about to shift into drop-dead gorgeous men! Tall, handsome, and... capable.] [The Fake Heiress really has an eye for talent. While the heroine is still buffering, she’s about to snatch up a whole reverse harem and live her best life.] [Seriously though, each fox has a special power. They'll help the Fake Heiress steal her parents' love, the family fortune, and even the Real Heiress's fiancé. By the time she realizes what happened, it’ll be too late.] I frowned, half-believing. But then, my exquisitely selfish fake sister, Bella, leaned in toward the box of foxes. "Since you hate animals so much, sis, why don't you just give them to me?" I snatched the box back immediately. "Nah. Some men are better raised by yourself." 1 As Bella reached for the box, my body moved faster than my brain. I shielded the box behind me. "I couldn't possibly trouble you. I found them, so I'll take care of them." Five minutes ago, those weird comments started appearing. Thanks to them, I learned that I've been living inside a novel called The Fake Heiress Snaps Back and Lives Happily Ever After. And me? I'm the "native" Real Heiress, existing solely to be the villainous foil. The Fake Heiress, Bella Sterling, acts greedy and desperate to leave this wealthy family, but somehow ends up being everyone's favorite. Meanwhile, I, the Real Heiress who actually craves family connection after being switched at birth and living in poverty for 18 years, am universally despised no matter what I do. And it all starts with this litter of foxes. Bella uses them to steal my "Main Character Energy." Without my protagonist halo, I hit wall after wall, eventually jumping off a building in despair. But now that I've seen the spoilers? No way in hell is she getting them. I gripped the cardboard box like my life depended on it. Bella's hand froze in mid-air. Her expression shifted instantly. She tilted her chin up, giving me a look that was half-smile, half-sneer. "Sister, you won't know how to raise them. You grew up in the countryside... did your village school even teach basic pet care? Oh, right, I forgot. You probably don't know anything about raising exotic animals." Bella's words made me stiffen. My face must have looked delightful. Before I could clap back, a smooth, magnetic male voice drifted from behind us. "Chloe? What are you fighting with Bella about now? Don't you have everything she has? Can you stop targeting her? The Sterling family has compensated you enough. Aren't you satisfied?" The speaker was decked out in designer sportswear, handsome features sharp and defined, hair styled perfectly. It was the Sterling family's adopted son, Julian Vance. And currently, my fiancé in name only. 2 Five years ago, while shucking corn at my grandma's place, I saved an injured fox. He was majestic—snow-white fur, piercing blue eyes that were chillingly beautiful. I heard foxes were spiritual beings who repaid debts. So, just in case, I left my address and ID number. Didn't want him thanking the wrong person. I waited and waited. The fox didn't show up. Instead, a convoy of luxury cars arrived, led by the richest man in our region, Mr. Sterling. They said there was a mix-up at the hospital years ago, and I was the true heiress. I thought, This must be the Fox God's blessing! But after returning to the Sterling mansion, I realized how awkward my position was. My biological parents had zero emotional connection with me. Sure, they pitied my hard life—adopted parents dying early, living in poverty with Grandma. But they felt money was enough to fix it. Meanwhile, Bella, who took my place, was so sweet and charming that the Sterlings couldn't bear to send her away. She stayed. Now, technically, I was the eldest daughter. She was the adopted second daughter. But her status in this house was way higher than mine. And Julian? Thanks to the comments, I now knew he was the main male lead of this harem novel. As the adopted son, everyone assumed he was Bella's future husband. But when I, the real daughter, returned, the old childhood engagement contract meant Julian was suddenly my fiancé. Watching his true love slip away because of me, naturally, he hated my guts. But it didn't matter. The Sterlings promised that if I came back, they'd pay for Grandma's eye surgery and put her in the best nursing home. My lips twitched as I stared at Julian. "Satisfied? What should I be satisfied with? A fake heiress occupying the nest, acting crazy in front of me all day? I haven't even lost my temper yet, and you're lecturing me? Who are you? Just a dog of the Sterling family? So, be a good dog and don't block the way." I tried to leave with the box. Just now, I saw a comment: [The first fox, the Boss, is about to open his eyes. The first person he sees becomes his master. Boss Fox represents wealth. He brings insane financial luck to his owner.] Holy crap. Wealth! A money god! If I get this little guy on my team, I can walk sideways through this stupid novel! Bella must have seen the comments too. She lunged, trying to snatch the box. "Sister, don't be mad! I didn't mean you were uncultured! I've been the heiress for eighteen years, and you just came back... I really didn't mean to look down on you! Julian is just worried about me, you don't need to use such ugly words!" I rolled my eyes at her, ignoring her completely. My brain was on repeat: [Boss Fox is opening his eyes! His power is WEALTH! Bella baby, grab him quick! If he imprints on Chloe, it's game over!] [Boss Fox shifts tonight! He's super hot, 6'2", pale skin, long legs!] I stopped reading and sprinted for my room. Even if I couldn't make him imprint on me, I wasn't letting Bella have him. Bella realized what was happening. She grabbed my sleeve, refusing to let go. In the struggle, the box fell. Thud. I heard a soft yelp. In the chaos, I locked eyes with a pair of amber beast eyes. Bella turned pale, tears instantly filling her eyes. "Chloe! I know you suffered growing up, but it wasn't my fault! Punish me if you want, but why hurt innocent animals? They didn't do anything! Please, just give them to me!" Seeing that force didn't work, she switched to the "White Lotus" routine. I ignored her. She lunged for the box. A white blur shot out of the box and vanished instantly. Damn. One got away. Bella covered her mouth in feigned shock. "Chloe! I didn't mean to! Why did you have to fight me for it? If you didn't fight, he wouldn't have run away!" I body-checked both of them aside, grabbed the box, and bolted for my room. The moment I locked the door, I felt movement inside the box. I opened the lid. Only two sleeping fox cubs remained. The one who opened his eyes was gone! 3 My Money God ran away! The gloating comments returned. [Hahaha, Boss Fox ran! He definitely went to find our Bella baby. What is this dumb Real Heiress thinking? This is a Villainess Redemption novel! Whatever Bella wants, she gets!] [Once Bella gets the Money Fox, she inherits the entire Sterling fortune. Julian is already hers. They're gonna break that window paper tonight, hehehe.] I was shaking with rage. Why? The old fox came to repay me. These cubs were meant for me. She snatches them and thinks she's justified? Just because she has the "Redemption" script, she can ignore morality? Bang! Bang! Bang! Someone was pounding on my door. "Chloe Sterling! You better come out and apologize to Bella right now! Mom and Dad are coming back from abroad tonight. If they find out you're bullying Bella again, I won't defend you!" It was Julian. When I didn't respond, he added coldly: "Don't blame me for not warning you. They're distributing shares tonight. Don't you want your tuition and allowance?" I sneered. "If I want it, will they give it to me? Keep it. You and Bella are their precious darlings. I'm just an outsider, right?" They treated the fake daughter better than me, their own flesh and blood. Bringing me back was just to make her look better by comparison. Would anyone care if I lived or died? Instead of waiting for their scraps, I'd rather rely on these foxes. 4 I didn't leave my room that night. Mr. and Mrs. Sterling didn't come to see me. The next morning, they deliberately didn't call me for school. After I returned, we all attended the same elite private school. Usually, a luxury car took us. But Bella told everyone I was the maid's daughter and that she brought me along out of pity. She encouraged the class to isolate and bully me. I had no friends. I hid the other two foxes and took several buses to school. According to the comments, in the original plot, Boss Fox shifted last night and went to school with Bella today to execute the first "face-slapping" scene against me. As soon as I entered the classroom, the text appeared again. [The Real Heiress is here! Showtime! Today is the scene where she wins first place in the essay contest and gets the $5,000 prize, right?] [Yup! She treasures that money, wanting to send it to her blind grandma in the village. But Bella snatches it! Chloe doesn't know Boss Fox swapped her original manuscript. As long as Boss Fox is with Bella, all of Chloe's financial luck gets stolen.] [She deserves it. Why does she act so pitiful? She should just hand over her resources. Finders keepers!] I ignored the text and looked at Bella. Standing next to her was a boy in our school uniform. Silver hair. Skin so pale it glowed. Even his eyelashes were white. He looked down, features too beautiful to be real. He stood obediently by Bella's side. Bella lifted her chin and patted his head like a puppy. "He's my friend. He'll be coming to school with Julian and me from now on. Don't bully him, okay?" Seeing me, Bella's smile turned nasty. "Sorry, Chloe. Julian wanted dumplings from the south side, so the driver left early. We forgot to pick you up." I smiled calmly and walked toward her. "You better hope you actually forgot and aren't just acting. Whether it was intentional or not, you know deep down." I shoved my desk over. Several mice and a green snake scurried out from inside. These little tricks had been constant since I enrolled. I was used to them. I endured it because the Sterlings paid for Grandma's eye treatments. Until yesterday, when I saw the comments. I learned the Sterlings forced Grandma to move out of her home, and on Bella's suggestion, stopped paying the nursing home fees. Grandma died of illness and neglect. I’m done enduring. I'm taking back everything she stole! Screams erupted in the classroom. I stepped on the snake's tail, grabbed it by the head, and thrust it into Bella's pale face. The snake hissed, tongue flickering. Bella's pupils dilated in terror. "You're crazy, Chloe! Get it away! Get it away! AHHH!" I leaned closer. Julian tried to stop me but was afraid of the snake. He yelled, "Chloe, are you insane? It's venomous! Come at me if you have a problem!" I glanced at him. "I'll deal with you after her. Wait your turn." Just as I was about to drop the snake down Bella's collar, the white-haired boy frowned. He grabbed my hand. And the snake. I looked at him. Amber beast eyes met mine. The old fox... He blinked at me, confused.
