The Scapegoat's Revenge

Story Guide
Episode 1
Daisy is dying. A voice tells her she is in the late stage and should go home to spend her last days with family—but the Gu family has no place for her. There is no such criminal daughter here.
Worse, the family's shining success story belongs to her. The poems, songs, and business plans that made her three brothers famous were hers, credited to her adopted sister Gu Ruoxue. When Daisy speaks up, she's called a liar and thrown out.
Then the twist: Daisy wakes three years earlier, on the very night everything went wrong.
Episode 2
Daisy realizes she's been reborn to the night Gu Ruoxue, driving drunk and speeding, hit a pedestrian and fled—then begged Daisy to confess.
Ruoxue's pitch is cold and precise: take the blame, and she'll admit to the brothers that she stole Daisy's work. Refuse, and she'll drag the brothers into it, claiming they encouraged the crime. Daisy knows the cost—at least three years behind bars.
But this Daisy has already died once. She refuses to be the scapegoat, and the family's pressure begins to crack against a sister who suddenly won't fold.
Episode 3
Ruoxue drops the mask completely. She's certain Daisy will fold because Daisy is the orphan type—insecure, starving for family, willing to die for those three brothers. That certainty is exactly what Daisy intends to break.
When the family corners her, demanding she hand over every poem, song, and business plan, Daisy doesn't flinch. She's already died once; threats don't land anymore. Ruoxue tries to strike her, and the confrontation turns physical—until someone steps in to protect Ruoxue.
Daisy has drawn her line: she answers only to herself now. But the family is still convinced Ruoxue is the victim.
Episode 4
The Gu mother's fury lands on Daisy, not Ruoxue. After Ruoxue is hurt, the mother strikes Daisy and makes the hierarchy clear—Daisy is worth less than Ruoxue, the "talented" one. The contempt is total: an unwanted orphan can't compare to Ruoxue.
Gu Sichen piles on, and when Daisy defends herself, she's branded ungrateful and lawless. The mother disowns her and orders her out of the Gu house.
But Daisy won't leave quietly. She warns that if she walks, Ruoxue's hit-and-run goes with her—and Ruoxue still needs a scapegoat. The standoff tightens.
Episode 5
The family's story collapses into panic. When the hit-and-run is mentioned, the Gu mother erupts, certain Daisy is the culprit and the approaching sirens are for her.
Ruoxue performs beautifully—she can't take the blame, she insists, because who would write the brothers' poems and plans if she were jailed? Daisy calls it exactly what it is: playing the victim and reversing the blame.
Then the traffic officer arrives with hard questions. The car's plate, the time, the location, the injured pedestrian. The family lines up to testify against Daisy. Ruoxue stays confident that no camera caught her.
Episode 6
The officer plays the surveillance footage—and it's useless. The car was moving too fast, the driver's face too blurred to identify.
Gu Qingfeng, the eldest brother, insists his sisters would never flee a scene, then demands the truth from both. Ruoxue protests being doubted at all. With no confession, the officer moves to take everyone in.
Daisy offers to prove who was driving, but Qingfeng hesitates—he won't hurt Ruoxue to help Daisy. Then a detail surfaces: the driver wore a coat given to Daisy on her twentieth birthday. The family seizes on it. Daisy isn't done.
Episode 7
Daisy turns the coat evidence on its head. The officer describes the driver: speeds of at least 180, difficult maneuvers, a spinning drift before fleeing. That's not a panicked amateur—that's a professional racer. And Gu Ruoxue was a race car driver before her debut.
The family still sneers that only someone badly raised would drive like that. Then Daisy delivers the fact that changes everything: she has no driver's license. She's barely touched a car in five years—the one time was the day Qingfeng gave that car to Ruoxue.
For the first time, Qingfeng's certainty wavers. Did he blame the wrong sister?
