After Reincarnation I became villainess

why me?

Xu Maiyi stood frozen, surrounded by her new family. Her mother, a stately woman with a cold, calculating gaze, glared at her.

"What's wrong with you, Xu Dao?" her mother snapped. "Stop doing drama. You're not a child anymore."

Xu Maiyi's eyes widened as she struggled to process the unfamiliar faces and the chilly atmosphere.

"I...I don't understand," Xu Maiyi stammered. "Who are you all? Why do I...?"

Her mother's expression turned even colder. "You're Xu Dao, the daughter of the Xu family. Don't play dumb with me."

Xu Maiyi's gaze fell upon her father, a stern-looking man with a thick beard, who seemed to regard her with disdain.

The rest of the family, including her siblings and grandparents, looked at her with a mix of annoyance and disappointment.

Xu Maiyi felt a chill run down her spine. Something was off. These people didn't seem to care about her at all.

As she looked around the room, Xu Maiyi noticed a faint scar on her wrist. She had no memory of getting it.

Suddenly, fragmented memories began to surface in her mind. Memories of being belittled, manipulated, and abused by her family.

Xu Maiyi's eyes widened in horror. The real Xu Dao had been living a nightmare.

No wonder she had tried to escape.

No wonder she had attempted to take her own life.

Xu Maiyi's heart went out to the girl she had become. She vowed to uncover the truth and bring justice to the real Xu Dao.

But for now, she had to play the role of Xu Dao, the spoiled and arrogant heiress.

With a newfound determination, Xu Maiyi lifted her chin and met her mother's cold gaze.

"I'm sorry, Mother," Xu Maiyi said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "I didn't mean to cause any trouble."

Her mother's expression softened slightly, seemingly pleased with Xu Maiyi's response.

But Xu Maiyi knew the truth. She was just playing a role, biding her time until she could uncover the secrets of her new family and bring them to justice.
