Reborn as the Legitimate Daughter: One Ledger to Settle the Score with My Enemies

Reborn at fourteen, Shen Zhiwei opened her eyes and did the first thing that came to mind: she went to check the account books.

Her mother had taught her how to read a ledger on her deathbed: every sum coming in and every sum going out, every loss and every stolen coin. Nothing escaped her notice. In her previous life, she had played dumb, pretending to be the meek little pushover everyone in the Duke's mansion could bully, until her stepmother sent her to the grave with a cup of poisoned wine.

This time, she won't pretend. She'll tally every dose of poison her stepmother fed her over six years, and record every slander her half-sister spread about her. The whole household thinks she's still the legitimate daughter they can push around, but they don't know she's already committed every account to memory.

From managing the Duke's household, to uncovering the truth behind her mother's death, to finding irrefutable proof that the current Grand Secretary is colluding with the enemy and betraying the country: every debt owed to her in her previous life will be paid in full this time.

The whole household will kneel to settle its accounts. The entire court will kneel and listen to the trial.
