Reborn as Lin Daiyu: This Time, I Refuse to Live at the Mercy of Others

In her previous life, she lived under the Jia family's roof. Her mother died young, her family's estate was taken, and in the end, she could not even protect her own chastity.

When she opened her eyes again, Lin Daiyu had been reborn, back before her journey to the capital.

This time, she remembered every face and every debt.

With her mother gravely ill, she first summoned a renowned physician, settled the old accounts, and protected her dowry. When her father planned to send her to live with the Jia family, she changed his mind on the spot. She could go to the Jia household, but she would not go empty-handed, much less let the Lin family's money end up in Lady Wang's pockets.

Lady Wang tried to profit from her marriage, so Daiyu made the Jia family's accountants answer for the missing funds. The Xue family tried to pressure her with the Gold-and-Jade Match, so she brought out irrefutable evidence from the Lin family and humiliated the whole household.

Grandmother Jia still tried to keep her with appeals to family affection, but Daiyu smiled and handed her a letter. “Grandmother, take a look at who tampered with my family's shipping accounts.”

In this life, she would not beg anyone for pity or rely on anyone to protect her.

But why did the secret letter from the capital reveal the true cause of her mother's death?
