After My Mother Returned to the Rich Family

Ruan Cha grew up in a small town where her family of three lived off rental income and farming, leading an easygoing, simple life.

Everything changed when her biological mother was recognized as the real daughter of a wealthy family, and Ruan Cha became the true heiress.

Suddenly, Ruan Cha realized that her life was actually part of a system-driven academic drama novel, where she, the girl praised for her beauty since childhood, was destined to be the clumsy, unattractive, and short-lived supporting character!

After her death, her parents’ lives would spiral into tragedy-one losing their mind, the other meeting a miserable end. The whole family was nothing but cannon fodder!

As she pieced the plot together, Ruan Cha looked up at her reflection: stunning and adorable. Then she turned toward her parents, lying on the bed giggling after their meal, embodying peak “slacker” vibes.

Her feelings?

Complicated.

When Ruan Cha’s parents accidentally discovered that their carefree and cheerful daughter had been bullied in her new elite high school, they were devastated.

Their thoughtful daughter didn’t complain or cry-she just studied harder, her face growing thinner by the day. It broke their hearts.

Father Ruan: “At the last parent-teacher meeting, the other parents asked what companies we run. I said we’re landlords.”

Mother Ruan: “And at the last art festival, when they talked about their love for wine and jewelry, I said I love farming.”

Father and Mother Ruan: “…”

The couple exchanged glances and sighed in unison.

Father Ruan: “So, even if you own a hundred buildings, being a landlord still earns no respect, huh?”

Mother Ruan: “And even if you grow cabbages worth 1,000 yuan each, farming still isn’t a proper hobby, huh?”

After a long silence, they looked skyward and lamented together:

“Life in the big city is just too hard!”
