"Your other half of your soul has finally returned to its place, and it's time to bring your things back as well."

"What is that?"

Lin Qingyan lay blankly on the old-fashioned wooden bed, the words she had heard when she first transmigrated still echoing in her mind.

After receiving the original owner's memories, he learned that the original owner died in a bizarre and pitiful way.

The original owner's parents were both workers at the city's pharmaceutical factory. At the time, the father was just an ordinary employee in the production workshop, and the mother was a drug researcher in the laboratory.

When the original owner was three years old, a fire broke out in the pharmaceutical factory laboratory, and the original owner's mother sacrificed herself in the fire while trying to save collective property.

The factory compensated him with a house, a large sum of money in compensation, and a job.

Before her death, the original owner's mother instructed the factory leaders to leave the house, the pension, and the job to her daughter. The pension would be paid annually and used for the original owner's living and education. When the original owner turned eighteen and was able to work, she could also inherit the job that the factory had compensated her with.

Two months after his mother's death, Lin Heping said that in order to better take care of the original owner, he married Fang Huilan, who worked in the same factory. When his stepmother came into the family, she also brought a daughter, Lin Sisi, who was a year older than the original owner, and a younger brother, Lin Guanghui, who was a year younger than the original owner.

The nightmare of the original owner only truly began after they entered the door.

Washing clothes, cooking, and cleaning—all these chores fell to the original owner of this body; she became the housekeeper of the household.

They were not fed enough, not dressed warmly enough, and no one cared when they got sick, so their bodies grew weaker and weaker.

The saying goes that having a stepmother means having a stepfather, and Lin Heping has always tacitly accepted this.

Her biological father and stepmother are hypocritical, yet they still pretend to be very kind to her in front of outsiders.

Not long after, Lin Heping used a medicine formula that the original owner's mother had researched before her death to exchange for a production team leader position at the factory.

Years later, Lin Heping's position remained stagnant, so he used a medicine formula from the original owner's mother to exchange for a position as deputy workshop director at the factory.

Yesterday, Lin Sisi used underhanded means to steal away Gu Mingzhou, her childhood sweetheart. Today, people from the neighborhood committee came to her door to tell her that she would be going to the countryside in three days. Only then did she realize that her stepmother, Fang Huilan, had secretly enrolled her in the rural program.

According to the policy, only one of their three children who is unemployed needs to go to the countryside.

The original owner was already eighteen years old and would soon be able to take over the job given to her by the pharmaceutical company.

Neither Lin Sisi nor Lin Guanghui had a job. Lin Sisi hooked up with Gu Mingzhou. Once they got married, Lin Sisi wouldn't need to go to the countryside, but Lin Guanghui would have to go to the countryside to work as an "inter-worker".

Fang Huilan and Lin Heping naturally refused to let Lin Guanghui cut in line, so they set their sights on the original owner of this body.

The original owner had just suffered the blow of having her fiancé stolen and was then plotted against by her stepmother. The young girl was so angry that she had a stroke. Coupled with her already weak body, she fell asleep and when she opened her eyes again, the body had been replaced.

So what about her special ability...?

At this moment, Lin Sisi and Fang Huilan are selecting the latest and most beautiful clothes and shoes in the department store.

Fang Huilan was a little worried: "Girl, why do you have to buy clothes at this time? That brat is leaving soon. After she leaves, you can buy whatever you want."

Because Lin Sisi was in a good mood, and because Gu Mingzhou was going to her house today to break off the engagement with Lin Qingyan, she was determined to dress up beautifully so that Gu Mingzhou could admire her and, incidentally, infuriate Lin Qingyan.

“Mom, let’s do what we always do and say that these clothes and shoes are for Lin Qingyan. Anyway, she’s short and thin, so even if we bought them in my size, she wouldn’t be able to wear them. They’re still mine, right? When you go to the compound and tell the neighbors that these were bought for her, you’ll get a good reputation. Isn’t that great?”

In the past, whenever Fang Huilan bought clothes for Lin Sisi, she would say they were for the original owner of the body when they returned to the family compound. The original owner was chronically ill and malnourished, and was much smaller than Lin Sisi.

Fang Huilan returned home and had the original owner try the clothes on. She then gave the clothes to Lin Sisi, claiming that the size she bought was too big.

Fang Huilan thought of her easy-going stepdaughter at home: "You're right. Anyway, whatever we say goes, and that girl doesn't dare to say a single 'no.' Your dad is about to be promoted to workshop director. Letting others know that we're good to that girl will also benefit your dad's promotion."

Yes, Mom.
