I Will Inherit Your Legacy
我来继承你的遗产
Synopsis
Ji Rui woke up and found herself transported 22 years into the past.
No money, no phone, and she couldn’t find her yet-to-be-married parents.
After wandering for three days, she decided to seek out her little uncle, whom she had never met and who had no connection to her—Xie Yuan, the wealthiest young master in the city.
“I’m from 22 years in the future. One year from now, you’ll mysteriously disappear. Before that, you’ll leave all your assets to me—
—a baby who hasn’t even been born yet.”
Faced with this man, known to be temperamental, physically disabled, yet devastatingly handsome, Ji Rui looked at him earnestly.
“Do you believe me?”
The man was silent for a moment.
“I believe you. As my future heir, can you do me a favor?”
Ji Rui: “Name it.”
The man pointed at the mall across from his office building, “That’s my competitor’s mall. It’s opening in three days…”
Ji Rui: “Got it.”
Five days later—
The man asked his assistant why the mall across the street suddenly postponed its opening.
Assistant: “Do you remember that crazy girl from before?”
Man: “What about her?”
Assistant: “On opening day, she tied up their only money tree using their ribbon-cutting silk and ran off with it.”
Man: “…”
***
After living together for a while, Xie Yuan accidentally discovered an unfinished love letter on Ji Rui’s desk.
That night, he called her into his room and solemnly declared that a romantic relationship between them was impossible.
Ji Rui: “You misunderstood. That letter isn’t for you.”
Xie Yuan smiled: “Good.”
Then he turned around, stomped on the letter a few times, tore it up, and flushed it down the drain.
Ji Rui: “…Little uncle is acting stranger and stranger lately.”
Highlight:
There is no blood relation, no familial connection, and they are not registered under the same household. “Little uncle” is a polite term. The male and female leads are six years apart in age.
