    The real or fake heiress... In her dazed state, Su Muwan felt something pressing down on her. She gasped for breath, groggily opening her eyes, but her gaze widened in shock upon seeing her surroundings. In the darkness, a tall man was on top of her, undressing. How could the scene be so familiar! Su Muwan swallowed hard, and before the man could notice she was awake, she kicked him in the groin. "Ah—" The man on top of her let out a piercing scream. Taking advantage of the man's cry of pain, Su Muwan forcefully pushed him away, rolled over, and quickly grabbed the scissors from her embroidery basket. Just then, there was a loud banging on the door, and her adoptive father's impatient voice rang out. "Yaozu, it's your first time with a woman, don't get too excited, you've disturbed us all." Su Muwan was terrified! She gripped the scissors tightly, trembling and cowering under the table. She remembered! She had been reborn into… the day after learning she was the third young lady of the Duke of Su's mansion, and tomorrow was the day the Duke's mansion would send people to take her back to the capital. In her previous life, she was naive and innocent, never expecting that Wang Yaozu would take her most precious virtue that very night. The next day, when the Duke's mansion sent people to pick her up, they found her naked in bed with Wang Yaozu. She was speechless. Wang Yaozu, taking advantage of her position, preemptively warned everyone in the Duke's mansion that he would now be their son-in-law. He even threatened them that if the Duke's mansion didn't acknowledge him as their son-in-law, he would go to the capital and even appeal to the Emperor to seek justice. Her adoptive father also chimed in. The scene became extremely ugly. Out of consideration for their reputation, the Duke's mansion took her back, but everyone despised her and considered her a disgrace to the mansion. Even so, Wang Yaozu wouldn't let her go! Every few days, she would appear at the Duke's mansion gate, loudly proclaiming that she was Wang Yaozu's woman and that she would abandon him once she entered the mansion. The Duke's mansion was overwhelmed by her harassment and became the laughingstock of the capital. Su Qingrou, the adoptive father's daughter, enjoyed everything that should have been hers, but after entering the Duke's mansion, she was constantly harassed and framed. She even sowed discord between her parents, causing them to believe only Su Qingrou and regard their biological daughter as an enemy. In the end, she even conspired with her adoptive father to tie her up tightly and throw her into the moat to drown on the day she was kicked out of the house. Heaven had eyes, and she was given a second chance to change everything. Knock knock! The door was knocked again, and her adoptive father's voice came in. "Don't get so excited the first time you touch a woman. The neighbors will be watching soon, and that won't be good for our Muwan."
