After Being Reborn, the Villainous Big Shot Saw Right Through Me

In her previous life, she was a pampered young lady, but her stepsister schemed against her. Her entire family was wiped out, her fiancé died a tragic death, and she herself was imprisoned for years like a caged canary. Reborn, she swore to destroy her treacherous stepsister, protect the Chu family, and reclaim everything that was hers... Or so she thought! Why does everyone else’s villainous stepsister obediently play the scapegoat and take a beating, while the villainous big shot in her own family saw through her rebirth at first glance and refuses to follow the script from her previous life? How did a perfectly good tale of revenge and face-slapping across two lives suddenly turn into a love-hate relationship between her and the scheming second female lead? And where on earth did the male lead go? What? The peerless green-tea seductress is actually a man?! What? Her stepsister never loved her fiancé, in either this life or her last, but loved her instead?! What? This mad beauty’s destined partner even gave birth to a daughter for her?! Help! Can we get a plot that makes sense for once? Why is it so hard for her to have a sweet romance like a normal person? Later on, she, or rather, he, proposed to her. “Ali, marry me!” “I’m not getting married!” “That’s fine. I’ll marry you instead. After we’re married, the children and I will take your surname!” “I’m terrified of pain!” “Then I’ll do it for you.” “Can men have babies?!” “Knowledge changes fate, and technology changes the world. For Ali, I could even invent a Thanos glove and snap my fingers. Modifying my body to have a baby is nothing!”
