I'm Only Five, How Did I Become the Military District's Favorite?

In her previous life, Ruan Xiaochun's own mother married her off to an abusive butcher to pay for her stepsister's dowry. In the end, she was tortured to death, and all her mother had to say was a sigh.

"She was just as unlucky as that fool of a father who died young."

In this life, Ruan Xiaochun was reborn. She looked at her foolish father, who had always protected her, and her eyes reddened.

Her own mother had used her father's military service to land herself a good job. Dream on!

She took her father to the military district to demand justice. Who had made a hero bleed and then shed tears?

She reclaimed the job, the allowances, and the house, and tore off the hypocritical mask worn by her cheating mother.

If she loved being a stepmother to other people's children so much, then she could get lost!

Later, the woman who had become someone else's stepmother found her home in chaos, while Xiaochun, living with her foolish father, thrived.

"Have you heard? Xiaochun helped crack a theft ring with dozens of members!"

"What? I heard she helped the police catch a notorious bandit who'd killed five people!"

"Your news is old! I heard the Ministry of Public Security came in person to recruit Xiaochun as an expert. Her salary is a thousand yuan a year!!!"

"That's not all! You don't know? The fool from the Ruan family isn't a fool anymore. He even became a criminal investigator!"

The Ruan matriarch, passing by with her groceries, held her head high. "That's my darling granddaughter!"

Everyone else was green with envy: "..."

The Ruan family had really struck it lucky. Did they have an atomic bomb in their ancestral grave, to make such a huge plume of smoke?

The original heroine's mother: Why? It wasn't like this in my previous life. Where did it all go wrong?

The System, just back from hibernation: I thought this was a crime-solving genius development System. You're telling me you're the chief cop now?
