    This is exactly what she wanted, perfectly meeting the requirements! [Heart][Thumbs up] When Situ Yue opened her eyes, she was choking on pool water—she had become the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion, her face covered in pustules, a laughingstock, just tricked by her half-sister into rushing towards the Fourth Prince only to be pushed into the water. The soul of former special agent Qing Yan had entered this body, listening to Granny Xiao recount the underhanded tricks of Aunt Liu and her daughter: exchanging broad beans for croton seeds, pouring cold water on her in the middle of the night, wetting her bedding to make her sick… It turned out this wasn't a domestic power struggle, but a desperate situation where she was risking her life. She didn't rush to cry foul, first using "amnesia" to hide her sharpness. Watching Aunt Liu and her daughter, thinking she was dead, put on a show of "worry" in front of her father, she suddenly hugged her father and burst into tears. In that instant, her half-sister screamed "A ghost!" In fright, and Aunt Liu's face turned as white as paper. No one expected that the seemingly foolish legitimate daughter would have the calm and sharp eyes of a special agent. What she needed to do next was simply to repay them for what they had done, bit by bit. There's no magic trick involved, only resilience honed in dire circumstances. Witness how a modern-day secret agent carves a path to survival for the original owner within the confines of a grand mansion.
