Rich Parents and Hot Shot Brother Found Me At Last

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

The long lost daughter of the Lu Family had been found!

She was abducted by human traffickers for more than ten years, her life was ruined.

When the Lu Family first saw her they felt that something was not right about their daughter. They didn’t dare to ask why her assets were not developed. They only hoped for her to be happy

Lu Wan lived like a weed. She became a 17-year-old punk. She was even registered as a “male” in the family registry.

Then one day, suddenly, she turned from being a drifter on the street into a daughter of a wealthy family.

Lu Wan felt very good, she just wanted to be an ordinary girl.

To study hard, spend her years peacefully and not engage in any quarreling or fighting.

After some time, the seemingly guilt-ridden family members and those bystanders who were waiting on the side to ridicule her when she made a joke of herself, all felt that there was something very wrong about the situation.

The family found me disguised as a man for 17 years and thought that I was pitiful, but they were very wrong.

The author has worked hard to make her dialogue chic, and some of it is indeed very enjoyable. However, she could do a lot more with plot, characterisation, and flow. What I like is that there is none of that national inferiority complex that makes Chinese citizens bullish and unreasonable about internationals -- a real boon given the nature of the setting.

Ordinarily, a novel like this might be worth 3 stars, but the content cuts off at 105 chapters because of a paywall. All this after consuming a ridiculous amount... more>> of bandwidth and battery over Shanghai Fantasy's automatic video ads. If I'd known I wouldn't have bothered starting on this novel, and I'm not sure if you should. This translator group may be hardworking (users of ChatGPT), but they can't be trusted to give satisfaction, and I'll remember to think twice before I click on anything with their name on it.

2 stars. <<less

The best thing about this novel is there is no angst, this is not a dog blood drama like many Chinese novels. The writing style is quite funny, but when something is overly funny is becomes boring. That is what happened here. The plot is very simple and this was a light hearted read all along.

The MC is always trying not to be a cannon fodder and succeeds that with flying colours. It has to be mentioned that, more than the romance between MC and ML, the novel highlights the... more>> love of MC's older brother who dotes on his sister very much in his own way. This should be a good novel after reading an emotional one to relax one's mind. Recommended. <<less

MC is such a cool girl. She's the one wearing the pants! ML has to call her husband~

The characters were all very fun. The little princess big brother honestly was just too moe for me. Harry is such a mood. And uncle Lu is the big boss. The plot wasn't very clear to me but I have to say that I quite like Li Che (OG ML).

... more>>
Spoiler

Honestly, even tho he has a mu*der case and one assisted homicide case under his belt. His abusive father and MC's abusive adoptive father. He has guts to rebel and abide by the law of the jungle and after years of tolls and his amazing social skills, he did it, he became a rich man. I respect self-made business entrepreneurs.

This is 4 star Actually. I dont know how to change hehe

So Theres not much romance in here. I think for about 50 chp the ML shows himself just about 10 times then poof! Gone.

I think the ML was mediocre. For me He is Not that OP compare to MC lol. He likes her for a long time but has never actively pursue her. He was like watching from the sideline and wait for her to turn 18 also Even when the MC was too popular in both gender he was never jealous. I think his feelings for her were not that deep. And when MC was in trouble he was always MIA wtf -.- MC always saves herself which was the reason for lack of romance sigh...

Anyways, im disappointed with the ML.

but MC and her brother 'theidiot', harry 'theguy', as well as the most handsome and hottest (forme) uncle make it up for my disappointment so im glad. Lol

Another star because im actually biased to li jinye (mcUncle) squeals* hahahah

id rather have her uncle as the ml! He is just too cool and domineering tyrant in business, Too humorous and very funny! Hahah he can be cold at the same time funny. I also like his motto 'family first'. what a man! He is doting to MC he calls her baby haha I think he is single? Lol hes the epitome ceo type of those novel but kinda cute and funny. ❤️ heart. too bad he only shows up for for a bit. I guess in whole novel saaaaaad

This novel is a breath of fresh air that will help cure the aggravation from all the novels that you face-palmed over and wonder why the heck do parents whose babies get switched even bother to bring their biological child back when they were going to treat them like cr*p anyway.

Sure there are some gaping plot holes, but enjoying most of the novels involve some degree of suspension of disbelief. It still makes for quite an enjoyable read.

If it was just about how much I enjoyed the characters, this would be a 5-star review. I like Lu Wan, her entire supportive family and her friends.

This set of characters are likeable and would have had great potential if the narrative was a bit more cohesive in a way. However, the more you get into the story, it started feeling like there’s barely any plot... which was unfortunate because it was such a fun read until it started becoming dragging.

In my opinion, the extra chapters also didn’t do a... more>> lot for the novel as a whole. Overall, would recommend this novel for when you just need a light read. <<less

First thoughts upon reaching the current chapter 8, 'Aw, f***".

Entertaining is the word of the day. Nice word flow, funny and interesting twists within just a couple of chapters and an overarching sense of 'what the hell is happening'.

This is a really fun read. No dog blood drama, weird misunderstanding, adopted child versus real returned child cliche and so on.

The story itself doesn't have any major plot development nor character development to speak of, but inevitably draws you in to continue reading. Why? Because all the characters are so damn enjoyably. Even reading about the villians are fun. The protagonist is just amazing, the right attitude, the right ethics and her relationship dynamic with the people around her is what draws you to keep reading.

What I like the... more>> most about this particular novel is how progressive it is with minimal gender stereotyping and the casual manner it dealt with homos*xual characters. One of the things I noticed about most chinese novel is how it sometimes is low key misogynistic and/or homophobic. Especially in school settings, where when someone comes out of the closet, the entire school treats them as monsters. I always found this weird because though there might be quite a few opposition, most people especially the younger generation now are more accepting regardless of certain country's laws. This novel though doesn't really touch upon this subject nor has the leads be anything but straight, has the right attitude towards the subject. Which I greatly appreciate. Another point is that though this novel starts off with gender bender, how it treats the protagonist's acceptance towards feminising and realising to become openly female was logical. I like the fact that the author took the time to show the progression of the protagonist from feeling weird wearing skirt to later becoming confident in them. Also I enjoyed how the protagonist though adamant about her gender identity being female, didn't find it necessary to deliberately feminine herself and just acted casually without restrains of acting as a "girl/woman".

And the protagonist's brother. He is the most lovable character I've read in a while. This novel is worth reading just for him. The dynamic between the sibling is humorous and the hightligh of this light read. <<less

Dropped it.

I appreciate that the author was nice about people not being straight, but the characters in the novel weren't deep/complex enough for my taste. I thought it was cool that the MC was tomboyish, but that couldn't carry the entire novel.

Might be nice if you want something simple and cute, but I didn't want to continue.

3.5 rounded up to 4 because it's mostly good, it just gets a little too boring with a lot of repeated lines and unneeded passages.

The concept is the standard "missing daughter returned to family" but the family (as a whole) is a little bit different than the usual rich family. The mother is the domineering CEO, the father is a weepy (occasionally) genius scientist, the older brother is a super-celebrity (who inherited none of his parent's intelligence) and the paternal uncle is a super-businessman (who may or may not have... more>> been in the mafia).

The MC is the missing daughter who has lived her life as a man due to her adoptive parents (or owners technically because they bought her from s*avers) wanting a boy. She grew up tough because the adoptive dad was regularly drunk and abusive while the mother was incredibly passive. To make money growing up, she did a lot of random tasks and quickly put her all into school as she could get a scholarship and eventually leave. Upon returning to her biological family, she quickly begins to excel at her new school but never loses her edge from a hard life.

The ML is... not really a love interest until the end. A genius student, he encountered her one day at a hospital and fell in love at first sight. Only to never see her again until she transferred to his school. After that, he was fine to wait for her as she had no interest in dating. However, he eventually tricks her into a fake relationship to prevent others from pursuing her and his presence gradually grows on her.

We join the story as someone comes to get the MC to return her to the family. Only for it to be revealed that this person is from the maternal family and hadn't informed the MC's parents which results in our first introduction to the family problems the MC's family has. From there, she returns and takes her place as well as quickly usurping one of the top academic spots in the grade. She quickly sorts out the marriage contract (which was really just a verbal agreement) but has to deal with many people thinking she's a guy. That quickly ends when she wears a skirt (and proceeds to beat three guys up) but the girls in her school are still obsessed with her.

The antagonists in this are never there for very long. While the original-FL and original-ML had more staying power, their overall affect on the MC's life was almost non-existent. They interacted but their problems were almost all solved within a chapter or two. Once they leave the school, we never see a satisfactory end to them (the extra chapters give more closure but it's still lackluster).

Spoiler

The Original-FL refuses to let the Original-ML move on and he's too s*upid to realize that she is the worst thing in his life. Because of her, he got expelled transferred from a top rated school (he was constantly skipping but still), ruined the potential of a lucrative marriage contract, destroyed his already shakey relationship with his mother, and wrecked his chances of being a successful businessman in their home country. He gets her pregnant (not 100% if he was aware) but his mother sent him abroad and was going to practically sell him to a wealthy woman for benefits so the Original-FL made a point of letting the other woman know he had a kid.

All while the Original-FL had already married someone else (who then got a divorce because he apparently developed IQ points).

This is all revealed after the novel ends so it's kind of 'eh' at that point. It's also not the first extra so it feels even more lacking.

[collapse]

The MC's interactions with everyone were entertaining but it felt like a lot of the same being repeated over and over. Her deskmate was entertaining but he'd be horrible to have around if he was a real person. Same with the other two who were obsessing over her.

For the most part, I did enjoy the story but I found myself skipping whole chunks of the last chapters because it just got too boring. <<less

This was a chill read, no dog blood drama. I actually liked the calmness and attitude of FL (Lu Wan), she's considered as strong and straighforward who was book smart and street-wise combined. She might be an OP but didn't bother me too much bc she deserved the love she's getting. She got sad and difficult past as young kid so she deserved her new happy life.

Also, almost all supporting characters were likeable (except OG Leads and Zhao Family). FL's family and friends were so funny and ML (Chen Nianqing)... more>> was also perfect for her.

Only con here was some parts became really boring... many chapters were dragged (like joining contest/variety shows) but ending was rushed and last chapter failed to satisfy me. This could better shorter than 143 chapters.

Also, I disliked...

Spoiler

It felt like author added ridiculous details on last chapter abt Li Che sudden rise to being rich. It's obvious just for the sake of sequel (*face palm*).

Laughable that Lu Family need to seek his help in investment. When Uncle and LuWan already planned counterattack on Zhao and Jiang family on earlier chapters.

I usually like slice of life novels but this one I am giving a pass.

I did not like the MC in this. She is said to be incredibly smart, and able to see traps and schemes quite well so also street smart. But reading until I dropped, I thought she was an idiot. I am guessing she is written as innocent and positive; but the things she is oblivious, or things she chose to ignore hoping it will go away really felt scuffed.

It's a pretty lighthearted story which made me laugh a lot of times. Truthfully, I came here for romance, however, the romance here is rather subplot but I'm not that dissatisfied (fine, I am slightly dissatisfied). If we're going to make a pie chart for this story then it'll be 50% bickering between Lu Buyu and Lu Wan, 30% is about the white lotus and her harem, 10% romance, and the remaining 10% is others simping over the FL, ML, and the FL's silly brother.

Tbh, I have no problem with... more>> the FL's character design. In fact, it's not that she doesn't care if someone moved against her, she's pretty straightforward, isn't she? When her cousin moved against her, she immediately retaliate. When the white lotus or any of those s*upid associates of her and Jiang Boyang attack her, she solved it immediately. It's not her fault that those s*upid people always liked to associate themselves with her. But either way, the FL is dense, smart, hardworking, optimistic, straightforward and sometimes cute (especially when she's trying to be feminine). I quite like her actually.
Spoiler

But I'm still baffled regarding her adoptive father's death. Did she or did she not killed her adoptive father?

[collapse]

Meanwhile, I don't have many comments about the ML because he wasn't given enough exposure. But I think if he's given more exposure, he's also quite an interesting character. From the few screentime of his, I can deduce that he looks cold, aloof, and indifferent to others but as a lover, he's actually quite clingy and possessive. So for the romance, it wasn't also given enough time so I'm lacking sugar. But I think it kinda make sense as after all, the romance started during high school and both of them are pretty much the same age so there's the youthful passion of first love but maybe the author feel like she/he can't be too passionate about the romance between two high schoolers.
Spoiler

But what I'm dissatisfied the most is that there's no scene of marriage or when they have a child. Dmn. The white lotus' ending was even more detailed that theirs. At least we know who married the white lotus, what happened to their marriage, and her son. But the FL and ML doesn't have that ending. Too unfair.

[collapse]

As for the supporting characters, I'm torn between choosing who's my favorite. Is it the flashy and self-proclaimed green tea jerk, Haley? Or the silly, white sweet brother, Lu Buyu? Fine, I'll choose the latter. It's because I think there's more to the character he's usually portraying. He's always like the silly son of a landlord, however, from all those memories and nightmares he has, it can be seen that he still hasn't completely moved on from his sister's kidnapping incident. There's guilt, sadness, regret, longing, and fear. Totally different from his carefree attitude. As for Haley, well, he's funny and interesting. He really has a high EQ and him being an old driver with yellow waste in his brain made his character funnier. As for Su Rao and Xu Yao, too bad their ending wasn't mentioned. The moment they clashed, I already knew that it's another ship lol. And lastly, I'm actually quite interested with the FL's parents' romance. I bet it'll be a domineering female CEO x poor beautiful scholar.

Now, regarding the ending, I am really not satisfied at all, There's quite a lot of loose threads.
Spoiler
    • For example, what was the response when the variety show was broadcasted?
    • What happened to the Lus that prompted the FL to abandon her lawyer career (like detailed info)
    • Did Lu Buyu manage to resolve the knot in his heart? Who did he end up with?
    • Did Su Rao and Xu Yao really end up together?
    • So, what happened to Jiang Boyang and the white lotus? Did they end up together again and ab*se each other with so much toxicity again?
      [collapse]
As for the plot, well, it's pretty simple and there's really not much going on here. But that's why I kinda enjoy it. It's just light, relaxing, and devoid of complicated schemes and whatnots.

The ending was pretty much abrupt, and it just ended with how the supporting characters' miserable dog blooded romance but how come their ending and family was mentioned while the FL and ML's wedding and children weren't mentioned?! However, Li Che's story is this story's sequel. But I'm not sure if it's really a sequel or it can be a stand-alone novel with a shared universe here. Maybe their ending will be mentioned in there and married whom will also be mentioned but I'm not that interested in reading that, so my questions won't probably be answered.

Overall, it's pretty satisfying to read since it's lighthearted and funny. Although the romance is lacking, the funny bickering of the siblings made up for it. As for the translation, I just read the MTLed version of the last 40 chapters however the translated versions posted in here were quite good. As usual, there's quite mistranslated pronouns, mainly between he/him and she/her. But it's still quite excellent.

It's a 9/10 for me.

P.S. I kinda skimmed some parts of the so-called sequel of this story and rather than calling it a sequel, it's really more appropriate to call it a stand-alone novel with shared universe. <<less

Not bad but not good🌝🌝 It was interesting during the first 40-50 chapters but got boring. It just felt tasteless (╯︵╰)

That ml's friend though, Zhou or Zhao something guy, what was his problem? It was okay at first but it seemed as if his only reason of existence was so question 'if the house collapsed'? He seemed biased to me? Like can his idol not fall in love? At one point, I even thought he was gay and was in love with the ML or smth. It got annoying,... more>> seriously. His only appearances were with ml, I even forgot who he was at times. And only remembered after he questioned 'Has the house collapsed again?

A unique tomboyish MC and less dominant ML. ML is by no means a pushover, but he is really more gentle compared to MC, hence MC seems to be more dominant most of the time.

MC and her bro interactions are very cute and tbh, The highlight of this story imo.

Ori MC and ML is very braindead and doesn't matter at all.

it’s more like a 2.5

I love slice of life usually but this one was rather mediocre... Usually you see progress but after the 50 chapters every other chapter was anecdotal? It didn’t seem to serve a purpose or progressing the story in any way. It was probably 50 chapters too long. I had to skim through the rest of the novel. Mtl is easy.

I'll give this a three. Am I the only who felt depressed reading this? Like I'm seriously considering why this happened? Her family interaction somehow feels forced and also not healthy in my mind. The siblings bickering actually frustrated me for real. There is also the ML uuuurgh I'm totally annoyed by him, also other characters as well. Now my heart and my mind were in total mess after reading the novel.

I enjoyed reading this, although the ending was quite abrupt. The ML rarely appears and you don't get much moments when MC and ML have alone time. It's a pity that MC and her brother did not become sweet to each other. (They are close to each other though) The brother has a sister complex and you'll pity him a little because no one comforts him when he is the one who most longs for his sister. Sadly, MC is too headstrong and just quibbles with her brother. The MC... more>> is never coquettish. Plenty of people like MC, but there's really no love rival for ML because MC puts studying above anything else.

My favorite character is definitely the gay bestfriend, Harry. <<less
