The Villainess Hides Her Wealth

I was reborn as the villainess sister who falls into ruin after tormenting the heroine out of jealousy. Unfortunately, I realized this was a novel world *after* committing all the villainous acts. “Are these people even worth clinging to?” A father who expects understanding only for himself, a brother who protects my illegitimate sister, and male leads who bristle at the sight of me—they’re all exhausting. To achieve true independence, I’ll start by hiding my fortune. --- One day, my hidden business empire—concealed to avoid the stigma of being a villainess—was exposed. But the reaction was unexpected. “Did you hear? The empire’s economic rankings were updated, and Lady Primrose is first!” “She must be unimaginably wealthy!” Suddenly, everyone I once pushed away starts coming back. “Family ties can’t be severed, no matter how much you want to.” “I don’t know why, but I came to you instead of Lilyka.” “Is giving us just one more chance so impossible?” The irony of finally receiving the love I once craved is laughable. Their arrogance in assuming I’d welcome them back is even more infuriating. “Get lost.” To every suitor offering partnership, I smiled brightly and declined.
