[So, this is Nan Gong Jiao Fen’s method…]

[Although I know Xiao Fen most likely chose this foolish and extreme way because she’s afraid of revealing her own identity, I still shed tears because of this damn sisterly love.]

[Nan Gong Jiao Fen is probably feeling more guilty. Seeing that Xiao Zi is powerless and can only run away again and again, while the housekeeper is trying to cozy up to the Fu family, and her parents can’t interfere, she’s the only one who can do something.]

[Right now, I’m just feeling so complicated. In the previous life, Nan Gong Jiao Fen was truly despicable, but this life, at most, she’s a bit spoiled and foolish, but she doesn’t have a bad heart…]

[I just realized, maybe Xiao Fen doesn’t even know that the housekeeper is her biological mother? From her perspective, she knows that Xiao Zi is also her parents’ child, and after her own DNA test in this life, she found out she’s her father’s daughter. So, she might think she’s an illegitimate child, and she might not even care whose illegitimate child she is because she’s unequivocally her parents’ child.]

[To the person above, it seems like you haven’t paid much attention to the show. If it’s as you say, and Xiao Fen is indeed her father’s biological child and has the same special blood type as Xiao Zi, then why would she be the housekeeper’s child? There’s definitely something fishy with the housekeeper. Even though Xiao Fen is foolish, she’s not so clueless that she can’t understand this logic. Haven’t you noticed that ever since Xiao Fen found out about Xiao Zi’s parentage, her attitude toward the housekeeper has been strange? Before, she was haughty, but now she avoids the housekeeper. She’s clearly scared! And when Xiao Zi tried to run away for the first time, the housekeeper and Xiao Zi argued. At that time, when Xiao Fen went to mediate with Nan Gong’s parents, take a close look at her expression. It’s full of disdain. You can tell that Xiao Fen actually doesn’t approve of the housekeeper switching the children like this. Even though she may not understand why the housekeeper did it, Xiao Fen’s heart is probably very averse to this behavior. Otherwise, she wouldn’t feel guilty and conflicted later, thinking that she took away Xiao Zi’s life.]

[Yes, Xiao Fen probably realized the truth a long time ago. So, when she hurt herself, she said, “I can’t say it myself, so let someone else say it.” And that “someone else” most likely means the housekeeper herself.]

【You guys don’t seriously believe there was no backup A-type blood in the hospital, right? It’s understandable if there’s a shortage of rare blood types, but the chances of running out of A-type blood are really low, and this time, the doctor is different from the one the housekeeper and Nan Gong Jiao Fen bribed before. It’s clear that Nan Gong Jiao Fen orchestrated this.】

【Whoa! The friend earlier made a really valid point!】

The barrage of comments from viewers analyzed that Nan Gong Jiao Fen had coordinated with the doctor in advance for this dramatic scene. This analysis gained even more acceptance among the audience.

The subsequent storyline confirmed that this viewer’s analysis was correct!

[Nan Gong Jiao Fen did indeed “pre-arrange” things with the doctor. After the doctor learned about her hardships, he was willing to cooperate with her in staging this drama, and of course, compensation was definitely involved.

Even her injury was just part of Nan Gong Jiao Fen’s act. She had always been afraid of pain, so how could she willingly cause herself to bleed heavily?

Her original plan was to ensure her daughter, Jiao Jiao, grew up happily and carefree. She had never thought that one day, old wounds that had long scabbed over would be exposed. She had always kept them hidden perfectly. What went wrong?

Seeing Nan Gong Jiao Fen’s out-of-control emotions, both Nan Gong parents were scared. They retreated a step, unable to believe the situation. The scene was tense as they confronted the housekeeper.

Housekeeper advanced towards Nan Gong mother, saying a name that made her tremble, “That pauper girl from the slums, Yun Zhi. Don’t you remember, Madam?”

In an instant, Nan Gong mother’s legs weakened, and if it weren’t for Nan Gong father holding her, she might have collapsed.

She stared at the housekeeper in disbelief. Her breathing quickened. “You… You’re Yun Zhi?”

The housekeeper smiled slightly, but her smile didn’t reach her eyes. “So, you haven’t forgotten…”

Seeing the housekeeper closing in step by step, Nan Gong mother had no retreat and could only hide behind Nan Gong father.

Nan Gong father, who was still unaware of the situation, blocked the housekeeper’s way, his brows furrowed with anger. “What’s going on?”

Everyone was eager to know what had happened, why the housekeeper suddenly became “Yun Zhi” from the slums. And Nan Gong mother, who seemed to have something to hide, was acting so differently from her usual kind demeanor. Even Nan Gong father’s reaction was strange. If Nan Gong Jiao Fen was really his illegitimate daughter, he would at least have some knowledge of the situation. Why did he seem to know nothing?

Just as everyone was curious about the truth, they noticed the filters in the camera feed changing. It was the flashback filter used by Yan Yue in the drama.

The perspective of the flashback clearly originated from the side of Zhou, the housekeeper, also known as Yun Zhi.

Everyone saw Yun Zhi standing in front of the university gate, a scene that seemed very familiar. Even her self-motivating words were strikingly similar…

[“Isn’t this the scene from the beginning of the drama, where Xiao Zi was cheering herself up at the school gate?”]

[“No wonder Xiao Zi in the previous life loved talking to herself. It turns out she learned it from her… No, from her fake mom.”]

[“So, Yun Zhi also doesn’t look ugly, at most, she’s not stunningly beautiful. After all, the other main characters in this drama are all too good-looking.”]

[“So, did Yun Zhi also undergo plastic surgery later to become the housekeeper in the Nan Gong family?”]

[“Ahaha, the friend earlier noticed a plot point!”]

[“With every drama, there’s a plastic surgery mission (Achievement Unlocked)”]

[“Ah, I’m getting more and more curious about what happened to the housekeeper! It seems like she’s not seeking revenge; she just wants her daughter to live well. What’s the story behind all this?”]

In the drama:

[Yun Zhi entered the prestigious school with great expectations, but before long, all her dreams were shattered by the rich and privileged students at the school, who trampled all over her.]

【She, coming from the slums, no matter how excellent her grades were, would still be despised by the rich kids at school, let alone fitting in.

Gradually, this group of rich kids took pleasure in bullying students like her, from poor backgrounds, and among them was Nan Gong’s mother.

When Nan Gong’s mother was young, she was even more arrogant and willful than Nan Gong Jiao Fen. She mocked Yun Zhi for studying all the time. At first, it was just verbal taunting, and she didn’t physically harm Yun Zhi like others did. But one day, the school’s most handsome and wealthy young man, who had just completed an exchange program, returned to the school and saw Yun Zhi being bullied. That campus heartthrob was none other than Nan Gong’s father.

For Nan Gong’s father, this was just a casual act of kindness, so he didn’t think much of it. But Yun Zhi remembered the man who had helped her, and she secretly kept an eye on him.

Her little scheme was quickly discovered by Nan Gong’s mother. At that time, Nan Gong’s mother and Nan Gong’s father had already arranged their engagement. Seeing her fiancé being stared at with such “disgusting” eyes, Nan Gong’s mother was very angry, and she began to target Yun Zhi in every possible way.

Furthermore, at the school graduation banquet, she even drugged Yun Zhi and another poor male student.

Nan Gong’s mother taunted, “The poor should stick together, like rotten fish and shrimp, a perfect match!”

As a result, the drink intended for the poor male student was mistakenly consumed by Nan Gong’s father…]

The following plot left the viewers in shock!!

[Wait, so the housekeeper slept with Nan Gong’s father and ended up pregnant with Xiaofen??]

[Why does this plot seem so familiar??]

[Oh my god! In the previous life, Nan Gong Jiao Fen drugged Nan Gong You Zi and that oily guy, but it was Emperor Fu Ao Tian who accidentally drank it! Now, with the housekeeper and Nan Gong’s mother, it’s Nan Gong’s mother who drugged them, but it ended up sending her fiancé and the housekeeper into the same room! What kind of cycle of fate is this?? You drugged me back then, and now my daughter is drugging yours??]

[I’m dizzy! This is such a mind-blowing twist! I always thought Xiaofen was Nan Gong’s father’s illegitimate daughter! But it turns out that Nan Gong’s father had no idea, and it was Nan Gong’s mother who caused all of this, leading to Xiaofen’s existence!]

[Darn! This backstory is absolutely incredible!]

[Young Nan Gong’s mother is basically the same as last life’s Nan Gong Jiao Fen, right? Last life’s Nan Gong Jiao Fen was like a combination of the wickedness of Nan Gong’s mother and the obsession of the housekeeper! These two really messed up Nan Gong Jiao Fen’s upbringing! It’s a good thing she got a second chance, and everyone’s awareness has awakened. Nan Gong Jiao Fen hasn’t completely gone down the wrong path.]

[If that’s the case, can’t blame the housekeeper, right? She didn’t want this child either, and she didn’t want to be remembered by the man she secretly loved in such a way. So she left before the accident happened.]

[Sigh, can’t you guys keep your grudges from the previous generation out of this one? Poor Xiaozhi and Xiaofen…]

[Nan Gong You Zi didn’t expect this story from the previous generation.

In the end, at the end of the story, the housekeeper gave birth to her child prematurely before it was full-term.

Because that day was also the day Nan Gong You Zi was born.

After learning of her pregnancy, the housekeeper had considered whether to find Nan Gong’s father and explain everything. But when she saw Nan Gong’s father attentively caring for Nan Gong’s mother, who was also pregnant at the time, the housekeeper felt sad and resentful and left in despair.

That night of absurdity, Nan Gong’s mother was clearly aware of what was happening. Not only was she aware, but she also pretended that the person who spent the night with Nan Gong’s father was herself, while Nan Gong’s father was still unconscious. She lay next to him…

All of this was suppressed by Nan Gong’s mother using power and money, and not a single word leaked.

On the other hand, the housekeeper had to take care of herself. She dared not return home; her parents favored her brothers and didn’t care about her life or death. If she returned now, they would sell her off for a good price before she showed signs of pregnancy.

This was not the life the housekeeper wanted. Her life should not have been like this. Now that she had a baby, she could never turn back to those days.

She was tired of being bullied. She was tired of everything now. She had thought that with her excellent grades, she could live the life she wanted. But reality? It was just moving to a different place to be taken advantage of!

Why? Was it just because she was not born into a wealthy family? Was that the only reason?

Looking at her growing belly and then at Nan Gong’s father, who was having afternoon tea with Nan Gong’s mother…

At that moment, the housekeeper made a decision!

She wanted to give her child a happy life, one that she herself had never experienced…

So, she changed her identity and, on the day of Nan Gong’s mother’s delivery, she had her child delivered prematurely.

She swapped the two babies and, after that, came to Nan Gong’s mother as a maternity nurse. Due to her outstanding performance, she stayed on in the Nan Gong family.

Now, more than twenty years had passed, and the housekeeper had never done anything morally wrong. She just wanted to see her own child happy every day. As for revenge against Nan Gong’s mother, she had thought about it when she was young, but later, seeing her daughter grow up healthy and happy, she felt it was unnecessary. The way things were now was already good enough, and she wanted to let go of the past. However, she never expected that all the things she had decided to let go of would be brought up by herself one day, to be revealed to those “culprits” from back then.]

[When the truth was laid bare before him, Nan Gong’s father was shocked as never before!

He had no recollection of these events, and he had loved only Nan Gong’s mother throughout his life. He believed that he had never once entertained the idea of infidelity. Yet, shockingly, he had engaged in an affair with a woman other than Nan Gong’s mother and had even fathered a child with her!

Nan Gong’s father couldn’t accept this reality, and Nan Gong’s mother was equally shaken by the past she had buried deep in her heart.

It wasn’t intentional; she truly hadn’t meant it at the time! Her charitable acts now, every month, were her way of atoning for the mistakes of her youth.

However, some actions, once taken, could never be erased.]

After reading these memories, the viewers were deeply moved.

[Well, if we really want to assign blame, it’s hard to say who’s right or wrong.]

[Both sides have faults, right? Nan Gong’s mother shouldn’t have drugged the housekeeper out of jealousy, and of course, the toxic exclusivity culture at their school is also sickening! I’m firmly against school bullying! As for the housekeeper, no matter what, she shouldn’t have swapped the babies. Has she ever thought about how the two children would feel when they learned the truth?]

[Xiaozhi seems to be in a daze. My two girls have become pawns in the previous generation’s conflicts.]

[Xiaofen doesn’t know any of this. If she finds out, it will be hard for her to accept, right?]

[Forget the two children, I’m feeling nauseous…]

[Now, what’s the deal with their dad? Xiaofen originally wanted to help Xiaozhi get back to her biological parents and get rid of Emperor Fu Ao Tian. Suddenly, you bring up this past grudge…]

Everyone believed that the current situation was difficult to resolve. If Xiaozhi returned to the Nan Gong family, the mistakes committed by Nan Gong’s mother would make her feel uncomfortable. There would also be a rift between Nan Gong’s parents. As for Nan Gong Jiao Fen, who knew nothing, she currently looked down on the housekeeper. If she continued to stay in the Nan Gong family, wouldn’t Nan Gong’s parents feel uncomfortable with this child who came into their lives because of Nan Gong’s mother’s mistakes?

However, in the next moment, everyone saw Nan Gong Jiao Fen coming out of the emergency room.

[She was pale, with bloodstains on her body. She said, “Leave the Nan Gong family.”

The scene suddenly fell silent!

Everyone turned to look at Nan Gong Jiao Fen, who had an expressionless face, and she said to the housekeeper, “I’m going with you.”

“Life that was stolen, I don’t want it,” she said.]

Instantly, the live chat was filled with cries:

[What’s going on!! Yan Yue, what’s going on!! I thought you were supposed to be the evil female antagonist? Sob, sob, sob, you really don’t have to be so sensible, my girl!]

[I thought this situation was unsolvable, but Yan Jie really took a knife and stabbed it into my heart!]

[Who would have thought that the one who would step forward voluntarily would be Xiaofen, sob, sob, sob!]

[Xiaofen originally acted in this play because she felt guilty towards Xiaozhi. Now that she knows the truth, she chooses to leave with the housekeeper, returning everything to Xiaozhi. Although this is the choice she should make, when this scene actually happened, my tears couldn’t help but flow. Xiaofen, she has truly grown up.]

[My dear girl, you actually didn’t need to leave. You were originally a child of the Nan Gong family.]

[In the end, the ones who suffered the most are Xiaozhi and Xiaofen. Xiaozhi was innocently switched, and Xiaofen was born prematurely and “abandoned” by her biological mother. What did they do wrong? You dragged two innocent children into this mess!]

The live chat was filled with tears.

[The housekeeper soon realized that the person who had seen through her identity swap was her own biological daughter. Now, her biological daughter had chosen to return everything to Nan Gong You Zi.

The housekeeper left with Nan Gong Jiao Fen, but they lived very close to the Nan Gong family.

Nan Gong’s father didn’t stop them. For both of them, and for their children, this was the best choice.

However, he was still the biological father of the children and had an obligation to support Nan Gong Jiao Fen.

The housekeeper didn’t refuse the financial support provided by Nan Gong’s parents. In her view, it was something they should do.

On the Nan Gong family’s side, they were planning a party for Nan Gong You Zi and Emperor Fu Ao Tian’s engagement. After the incident at the hospital a few days ago, Nan Gong’s mother had fallen seriously ill, and her condition wasn’t good. So, this matter fell on Nan Gong’s father’s shoulders.

Nan Gong’s father’s original intention was that if his daughter was so unwilling, he would call off the engagement. However, unexpectedly, Nan Gong You Zi opposed him.]

The viewers were quite puzzled. Nan Gong You Zi had previously refused to marry Emperor Fu Ao Tian, so why was she suddenly stopping her father from canceling the engagement?

[Until everyone saw Nan Gong You Zi stop Nan Gong’s father and then meet Nan Gong Jiao Fen—

[Nan Gong You Zi: “I will attend this engagement. I have already talked to… my dad about it.” The word ‘dad’ didn’t come out very smoothly from Nan Gong You Zi’s lips.

After saying this, Nan Gong You Zi narrowed her eyes and carefully observed Nan Gong Jiao Fen’s expression, asking, “So, what do you plan to do?”

Originally, she wanted to cancel the engagement as well. However, this morning, Nan Gong Jiao Fen suddenly came to her and asked if Emperor Fu Ao Tian’s father had attended the previous engagement ceremony. When Nan Gong You Zi nodded, Nan Gong Jiao Fen suddenly became excited and said, “Can you attend this engagement one more time? Don’t worry, I will help you afterward. You don’t actually have to go through with the engagement, but… well, you need to attend it one more time! It’s very important, and if it turns out like I think, it will be helpful to you too!”

After Nan Gong You Zi revealed her true identity and willingly returned everything to its rightful owner, her attitude towards Nan Gong Jiao Fen had improved. In fact, since her rebirth, Nan Gong Jiao Fen’s behavior had raised suspicions in Nan Gong You Zi. She even wondered if Nan Gong Jiao Fen had also been reborn like her, but this idea couldn’t be verified for now. She only knew that in this life, Nan Gong Jiao Fen was indeed different. She didn’t impersonate Emperor Fu Ao Tian’s savior, and she was genuinely annoyed by him…

In this life, Nan Gong Jiao Fen no longer tried to suppress her, and she even helped her out several times. Although she always maintained a tough front, Nan Gong You Zi wasn’t foolish; she could distinguish between right and wrong.

So, when Nan Gong Jiao Fen seriously suggested that she attend the engagement ceremony one more time, Nan Gong You Zi considered it and agreed. There was also something she needed to confirm…]

At this point, the viewers also had a sense of what these two sisters were up to—

[I get it, they want to see if Emperor Fu Ao Tian is really Mr. Fu’s biological son!]

[Damn! I’ve been wondering why Xiaozhi and Xiaofen didn’t think of such an important clue from the previous life. Turns out, everyone still remembers!]

[Emperor Fu Ao Tian is definitely not Mr. Fu’s biological son! If that’s the case, this engagement is completely null and void from its roots! I’m so looking forward to the upcoming face-slapping moment!]

[Ah, I see! They’re trying to expose this secret by plucking Emperor Fu Ao Tian’s hair!]

[Don’t pluck it! Stop plucking it! Xiaofen is about to become his stepmother. At least let her future son-in-law keep his hair!]

[Alright, confirmed, this is a comedy. I’m going to die laughing because of Yan Yue’s thought process.]

As the live chat was filled with laughter, in the show, the moment a waiter reached out to take a strand of hair from Emperor Fu Ao Tian’s head, the man who had been silently sleeping in the wheelchair for years suddenly opened his eyes!

Viewers: [Oh my gosh! He’s awake!]
