In her previous life, Sun Fanshu treated her stepmother as her closest family, only to have her dowry stolen, her younger brother turn against her, and herself end up bedridden with illness before dying with regrets.
When she opened her eyes again, she was twelve years old. Her loyal servants were still there, and her younger brother hadn't yet grown distant. There was still time to make things right.
In this life, she would protect her family, investigate old grievances, and reclaim the family business her mother left behind. Anyone who tried to use her gentle nature against her would find their schemes brought to nothing. As for marriage, she would choose someone worthy of her trust herself.
Only the Duke of Duan's heir, Yan Qing, praised by everyone for his refined manners and frail health, seemed to be hiding another side. He could see the schemes behind her smile, and she gradually uncovered his secrets too.
The turmoil within the inner residence had yet to settle when hidden schemes among the great families began to emerge. Sun Fanshu finally understood that living her life over was not just about collecting old debts. She also had to secure a splendid future for herself.
