After Being Buried Alive in a Snowy Night, I Took the Fake Heiress's Phoenix Fate

[Clear-Headed Female Lead, Sweet on the Outside and Dark Within] [Both Leads Reborn] [Takes Down Scum, Face-Slapping, Sweet Romance] The Sheng family, wealthy merchants in Longxi, falls into ruin. Sheng Jinchun is fortunate enough to escape disaster and seek refuge with her maternal grandparents. But as soon as she arrives in the capital, a maid steals her identity as the legitimate daughter of the Sheng family. Her own mother helps fabricate evidence and has her thrown in prison, using filial piety to threaten her: "I gave you your life. If you dare disobey me, you're an unfilial daughter!" The maid who stole her identity sneers, "Only when you're dead can I feel secure as the Sheng family's legitimate daughter, take the family's fortune, and marry into the Duke's household." After a hundred lashes and endless humiliation and torment, they force her to sign a confession. Only as she lies dying does Sheng Jinchun learn the truth: the maid isn't a real servant, but her mother's illegitimate daughter from before marriage! When she opens her eyes again, she has returned to the day her mother pressured her to accept the illegitimate daughter impersonating her. Seizing her chance, Sheng Jinchun exposes her in front of everyone: "Since when did Mother give birth to a daughter who was a maid?" Her mother's face darkens as she tries to control her through filial piety. But Sheng Jinchun won't bend, no matter what tactics are used. She takes the matter straight to the authorities and exposes her mother's false, vicious nature!
