    😗The female protagonist was reborn as the real daughter of a billionaire, deliberately switched at birth. She almost got beaten to death by her adoptive father at the start. The system wanted her to follow the plot, but she refused; she wanted to do things her own way. [Host, the tissues are over there.] "I'm looking for the phone." [What are you looking for the phone for?] "Dog Egg, when you encounter difficulties, call the police." [Host, what you need to do now is complete a mission, not call the police!] "Dog Egg, you're so noisy." With that, the little brat picked up the phone and dialed 110. "Hello? Officer, I'm about to be beaten… Huh? Daddy's beating me, use… use a wine bottle." She was covered in injuries, every step hurt, but she didn't utter a sound. Only after finally getting a small bread roll did she curl up in a corner and start eating. One small bite, one small bite. It was as if she were dealing with the most important thing in the world. When she had her eighth bite, the door was suddenly broken open. A group of people in police uniforms appeared in the doorway, panting. When they saw the scene in the room, they were all shocked.
