Rose at the Spearpoint

When top agent Ling Rui closes her eyes amid the sound of an explosion, she opens them again to find herself in an ancient marquis's household, reborn as Shen Qingwu, a legitimate daughter everyone can bully and a sacrificial character destined to be a stepping stone in the plot.

Her birth mother died young. Her scumbag father, Liu Zhan, treats her as if she doesn't exist, leaving her at the mercy of her ruthless stepmother, Madam Liu. Cutting her allowance and tormenting her are part of everyday life. In the end, Madam Liu secretly has her killed, and no one even claims her remains.

But the soul inside this body now belongs to Ling Yue, a top agent who has made her living on the edge of a blade and swept through enemy camps with her cunning and skill. Learning what the original owner endured, Ling Rui's eyes flash with cold fury. "A sacrificial character? A scumbag father and stepmother? I'll take over this mess!"
