Chapter 1

On the seventh day after my sudden death, I found myself in the underworld, playing poker with the Grim Reaper for seven straight days. After deliberately losing countless hands to him, he finally rewarded me with a bowl of strange green soup. This soup allowed me to be reincarnated into a wealthy family, and I even managed to keep the memories of my past life. But the moment I reached adulthood, I was confronted with a shocking revelation: 18 years later, a girl appeared at my door, crying and claiming that she was my parents' real daughter. You've got to be kidding! Is the life of a young heiress that I worked so hard to secure through immense loss just going to vanish like this? No way! I've seen too many cases of mistaken identity! What's mine is mine, and no one can take it away from me!

At the threshold of the Underworld, I engaged in a marathon of 3,000 hands of Texas Hold'em Poker with Death himself. For an entire week, from dawn till dusk, I gambled away all the merits and possessions from my past life. Ultimately, Death, delighted with his winnings, discreetly rewarded me with a mystical bowl of Wealth Reincarnation broth.

I was aware that achieving a prosperous new life required patience. Yet, with this newfound destiny, I was set to be born into wealth! As I triumphantly savored the last drop of Death's concoction, a vision of the future unfolded: eighteen years later, a girl would arrive, sobbing, claiming to be the true daughter of my parents.

A chill ran through me. How could this be possible? Could the prosperous fate bestowed by Death truly be overturned? But it was too late. With a wail, I opened my eyes to find not my beautiful, affluent parents but a cunning woman swapping me with the baby in the adjacent basket.

What on earth was happening? Was I really being demoted from a Young Heiress to an ordinary child? After she left, a nurse came in for the usual checkup. I began to cry out with all my might. "Nurse, help! I don't want my destiny to be exchanged!"

The nurse quickly sensed something was amiss. She gently cradled me, soothingly cooing, "What's wrong, little one? Are you sleepy?" No, it wasn't sleepiness—my entire future was at stake! As she was about to return me to the cradle, my panic intensified. If I were placed back, everything would be lost!

At that crucial moment, the Head Nurse entered. "What's happening? I heard this baby's cries all the way down the hallway." Upon seeing me, the seasoned Head Nurse frowned slightly. "This isn't right. This baby seems much lighter than recorded."

I immediately stopped crying and tried to nod vigorously, hoping she would understand. They swiftly reweighed me and the baby in the next cradle, confirming the switch. The nurse's legs nearly gave out from shock. "Thank heavens you came in! If this had been overlooked, my career would have been over."

The Head Nurse sighed, still shaken. "You must be careful. This is the Johnson Corporation's Young Heiress. If anything had happened, do you know how many would be affected? Even the director could lose their job."

As they conferred quietly, the weight on my heart lifted. In both this life and the last, I had never cried so intensely. My fortune is mine, and no one will take it from me.
