Transmigrated as a Vicious Female Supporting Character, I Relied on My Sharp Tongue to Destroy Three Wealthy Families

Jiang Li transmigrates into a novel as the real daughter of the wealthy Jiang family, a role that in the original story ends in tragedy. In that story, the fake daughter Jiang Nian is cherished by the family, becomes a famous actress at eighteen, marries the powerful Gu Xun, and causes the Jiang family's bankruptcy; on the day of their marriage, the eldest Jiang brother slits his wrists, the second jumps from a high-rise, and the original real daughter drives her car into Jiang Nian, dying. Jiang Li knows that Jiang Nian herself has been reborn from that fate. Determined to change her destiny, Jiang Li takes control from her first moment in the Jiang mansion. She announces that the malicious switch must be corrected: Jiang Nian must leave immediately and take nothing with her. Jiang Li argues that Jiang Nian enjoyed twenty years of privilege while she suffered in poverty in the Zhao family, and that Jiang Nian's presence is dangerous. She points out that the switch was not an accident but a deliberate act by the late Zhao grandmother, and that if that old lady had not died, a lawsuit would have been inevitable. When the family hesitates, Jiang Li asks, "If I don't speak up, who among you would have the heart to let her leave?" and states that keeping Jiang Nian is unjustifiable. She adds that relying on the love of her adoptive parents, she might even achieve social climbing. When her fiancé Xie Zheng arrives to defend Jiang Nian, Jiang Li sarcastically applauds and asks how many orphans the Xie Family has adopted, mocking his interference. She tells Jiang Nian about her biological family: her father drives a taxi, her mother is a housewife, her brother needs tuition, implying that Jiang Nian will have to support them. Jiang Li also reveals her own harsh upbringing, mentioning that she beat her adoptive brother Zhao Haitao after he framed her for stealing family money. She says to Jiang Zhao, "For ordinary families, an annual income of ten thousand is considered high," showing the gap in their experiences. Despite the family's emotional ties, Jiang Li's logic and relentless words persuade them. Jiang Nian leaves, but Jiang Li insists she take nothing, not even her clothes or jewelry, and reminds them to handle the household registration. After Jiang Nian's departure, Jiang Li suggests selling all of Jiang Nian's belongings and donating the money to protect the family's reputation, arguing that Jiang Nian could use her fame to harm them. She criticizes her eldest brother Jiang Huai for his sentimentality, telling her father that the heir is unfit and should be replaced, asking whether company employees work for love without salary. Her second brother Jiang Zhao becomes impressed by her boldness and offers to accompany her.

Soon after, Jiang Li receives a frantic call from her bar manager Gao Yu that thugs are destroying her bar, Xiaoyangyang. She rushes there with Jiang Zhao. The bar is in chaos: furniture broken, bottles smashed, staff injured. The instigator, Wang Hao, a local bully, sits arrogantly. Without hesitation, Jiang Li attacks with martial arts skills, kicking a two-hundred-pound man across the room, then grabbing Wang Hao by the hair and slamming his head into a glass table. She demands 360,000 yuan for the damage and lost wages. Wang Hao, cowed, reveals that Yang Meng, owner of the neighboring bar Lingshow, hired him to force Xiaoyangyang to close for expansion. Yang Meng is backed by a wealthy woman, though Jiang Zhao notes that the supposed benefactor, the wife of the Huaqun Group boss, died years ago. Jiang Li accepts the payment and announces the bar will be closed for a week for renovation. She tells Wang Hao to spread the word that she will not tolerate further attacks. Through these events, Jiang Li demonstrates her strength, intelligence, and knowledge of the original plot, showing that she is a determined survivor ready to face the challenges of her new life. The family begins to see her in a new light.
