The protagonist is reborn as her aunt, her father becomes her brother, her mother becomes her sister, and her grandparents become her parents. Both sisters have powerful abilities that allow them to go against the original male and female leads. The second one is a story about a family that dotes on each other, but it hasn't been updated yet, so I won't go into too much detail. The third one is more realistic, about the male and female leads' journey to wealth, and it's very good! Most importantly, it's already finished!
