The fake daughter was forced to inherit billions of assets

[Completed] Warm Wine disappeared for 37 years and returned with his superpower. However, she accidentally wore it on the fake daughter who had been abandoned. Abandoned? Coincidentally, she could go back to find her brother. However, her eldest brother did not seem to treat her as a younger sister, her nephew did not treat her as a younger aunt, and her grandnephew did not treat her as a younger aunt. [Older Brother Over 60: Little Dimple, Big Brother has bought you cotton candy.] The middle-aged nephew said,"Auntie, it's my turn to pick you up from school today." His grandnephew, who was still a teenager, thought to himself,"Little Aunt, it's wrong to fall in love at such a young age!" Warm Wine: ??? Erm, listen to my excuses. I'm already a mature middle-aged man! Being treated like a baby, Wenjiu was very distressed. He could only divert his attention and seriously cover his avatar to increase his superpower, but... What was with this fake rich grandpa who suddenly appeared and wanted her to inherit the family property? The richest man's grandfather,"My dear granddaughter, do you have time to go home and inherit the family property?" Warm Wine: ??? The person involved expressed that he was a person with superpowers and did not need to have money. Moreover, she could not even spend all her money. ** The superpower was not very stable after the soul transmigration. Research showed that... She needed to get close to good-looking people and make them happy. The happier they were, the more stable they would be. Warm Wine was speechless. It didn't seem very reliable. Ji Xianyan, who had a good appearance, became the chosen prey. From then on, his mental activity became- - Why is she so nice to me? - Does she like me? - She must like me! One day, a young man with a bad temper blocked the path of the warm wine, his ears red,[I'm so annoying. I agree to your pursuit.] Warm Wine: ??? I'm sorry, I just want to be your little aunt.

He once brought me on a ride to Lin 'an, and he protected me in crisis after crisis. But I always knew that none of this belonged to me. I became his Jieyu Flower, but who could truly understand me?

All I want in this life is to let the people I care about live well, so that I can be myself freely. One mystery after another made me understand that the greatest helplessness in a person's life was probably knowing everything, but still unable to stop something from happening. I thought that what I knew was all there was to the conspiracy, but I didn't know that the real conspiracy was silently playing me in the palm of my hand. Will I finally be able to obtain the freedom I want… The spring moon in the palace of the Han Dynasty explains the flowers. Where can we burn incense and bury the bones of the flowers? A tree of crabapple flowers has been blooming for many years. Since then, it has not been seen in the late spring. My story has begun.
