Instead of being the gullible girl she once was, she decides to use everything she learned to change her fate. Here is how she plans to take control of her new life:
- Acting Brave: She stops being a victim and pretends to be strong and courageous to navigate the high society.
- Manipulating Family: She takes full advantage of her cold-hearted brother and uses guilt as a bait to finally entangle her father, who basically never cared about the family before.
- Using Wisdom: She applies all the street-smart skills and wisdom she acquired during her past life to outsmart those who tried to destroy her.
