After dying betrayed by her boyfriend Feng Ju, half-sister Feng Qian, and her cold-hearted family, Feng Xiao Xiao is reborn at seventeen. In her past life, she rejected a marriage to the powerful Li Yan and foolishly trusted the wrong people. Now, with a second chance, she returns smarter, stronger, and more beautiful—determined to protect her innocent brother, earn her grandfather’s trust, and destroy those who wronged her. No longer naive, Xiao Xiao plays the game of power with ruthless precision. And this time, she won’t run from Li Yan—she’ll win his heart. Her revenge begins now.

Fierce Awakening

The study of Old Master Feng was silent, heavy with tension. The scent of sandalwood lingered, grounding the room in calm—only on the surface.

Feng Zheng stood stiffly in front of his father, fists clenched behind his back. His face was tight with barely veiled frustration.

"You've been giving Xiao Xiao too much freedom," he said flatly. "She's stirring trouble in the household. She's embarrassing the Feng name."

Old Master Feng looked up from his tea, gaze sharp. "She's restoring it."

"She threatened Madam Lin and disrespected her elders."

"She exposed a thief and defended her late mother's memory."

"She doesn't act like a daughter should."

"And you—" Old Master Feng's voice dropped dangerously—"never acted like a father should."

"Do you think I didn't know?" the old man continued. "How you treated her mother? How you let Lin Yueh climb into this house and poison it slowly?"

Feng Zheng's face turned red. "Father—"

"Quiet." The old man stood, slow but firm, the weight of legacy in every step. "You ignored the girl for years. You turned a blind eye to her pain. And now, you want to silence her again?"

"She's unstable. She's different," Feng Zheng muttered. "She's… unpredictable."

"She's focused. Calm. Ruthless, yes—but that's what this world requires. She's more of a Feng than you ever were."

Feng Zheng flinched, as if struck.

"I am protecting her," the old man said firmly. "Not just because she is my granddaughter. But because she is the legitimate heir to this family's name and honor."

"And Qian Qian?" Feng Zheng said bitterly. "She's your granddaughter too."

"No," the old man said coldly. "She is a parasite living under this roof by my tolerance. And that ends soon."

He picked up his cane and looked directly into his son's eyes.

"You will not interfere with Xiao Xiao again."

Old Master Feng smiled. A slow, lethal thing.

"Then you'll find out how little power you have left in this house."
