The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

It all started with a single mother and her sick child. She had no money and, after being turned away from the hospital, found herself scrolling aimlessly online-until she stumbled across Citrine's livestream. Desperate, she left a message in the chat.

The child's illness was complicated, something that couldn't be explained in just a few words. Seeing the message, Citrine offered to start a video call.

Appearing calm and methodical on screen, Citrine gently asked about the child's symptoms. Once she understood the situation, she recommended a course of medication. The mother, out of options and skeptical but hopeful, went to the pharmacy, bought the medicine, and gave it to her child. Not long after, the little one was back to normal.

On camera, the mother was overwhelmed with gratitude, thanking Citrine again and again. The clip spread, and Citrine's popularity soared. Soon, every time she went live, people would request video consultations, asking her for advice on all sorts of medical problems. Citrine always agreed, handling each case as if she were seeing patients in her clinic. For simple cases, she'd write up a prescription; for more complex ones, she'd walk the patient through a list of tests and treatments, carefully explaining the pros and cons.

Citrine's professionalism and remarkable medical expertise quickly attracted a devoted following. Her fan count was fast approaching half a million, and as more people tuned in, it didn't take long for someone to uncover her true identity.

Within hours, she was trending everywhere.

"Wait a second, isn't this streamer the CEO of CICI Group?"

"She's not just the CEO of CICI Group-she's also the head of Viridis Medical Institute and Crestwood Medical Research Center, and the lead specialist at Crestwood. Not to mention, she's the bestselling author Obsidian."

"No wonder! I was amazed by how accurate her diagnoses were. Turns out, she's an expert!"

"She must have superhuman

energy-teaching classes by day,

running her companies, then livestreaming free consultations night. No wonder she's so

at

successful. If I could hustle like her, I'dr

make it too."

People who didn't know Citrine personally read the news online and couldn't help but feel deeply grateful.

"I never would have guessed. I thought all corporations were as ruthless as Glenwood Group, but it turns out there are still good people like President Carmichael."

"During the flu season, she saved my wife's life. If not for President Carmichael, my wife might not have made it."

"She spent her days performing

surgeries at the research center, and her nights offering freenoveldrama

consultations and practical advice to flu patients like us who couldn't get medical care. She did so much, quietly, without asking for anything in return. She really is a business leader with a conscience."

"For someone that powerful and accomplished to offer free consultations to ordinary people-she must truly be kindhearted."

That night, Citrine was livestreaming again, offering medical advice as she always did.

Elsewhere in the city, in a quiet apartment, Sebastian Vesper sat before his computer, tuned in to Citrine's broadcast as she spoke with viewers.

He had stumbled across her stream

Pet

a few days earlier and quickly became a regular, making sure to catch every session. Sebastian knew nothing about medicine, but he found himself captivated by the way Citrine spoke to patients her calm confidence, her gentle use of technical terms. At those moments, she seemed to glow.

The next morning, with no classes to teach, Citrine headed straight to CICI Group.

Business had been booming for months, and the workload had only increased. Citrine decided it was time to organize a company retreat.
