This is going the typical route of fake miss vs real miss trope. And not done well

Exactly! Jinyu has done nothing wrong, and yet Jiao keeps picking on her for some reason. A few chapters back we learnt that Jiao is insecure about having parents because of her own past, but that she has no trouble accepting her brother, her husband, the grandaunt, or the little monk. Then what about Jinyu?! How come she can't accept her as well? What's her problem? Is she actually using her as some kind of convenient excuse to avoid being entangled with the parents? It's horrifying!

Nahh, she dreamed about the previous owner and how she was treated when she returned to the marquis, how would you feel if you saw someone who's bullied to death?

Seems like Gua is supposed to be bluffing because the author keeps saying she "does care about Gu Jiny, but to me that doesn't ve Someone who completely didn't care about Gu Jinyu wouldn't make a point of saying "Oh, send her back to the village then, to win arguments Saying something inflammatory like that to someone and then being like, anyway I don't care about them at all-when they get mad is obnoxious Especially since it seems like Gu jian was an adult when she transmigrated; Gu Jinyu is like 14. Pretty shameful to be like that to someone so much younger than you But really to me it seems like the author has it in for Gu Jinyu for some reason? Like Yad Shand Cu Vant are both clearly supposed to be "good" characters and the author seems to think it's fine for them both to be jerks to Gu Jinyu Read more Read more Sorta wonder what the author's moral principles re: family are because they don't seem remotely consistent Gu Jiao is good for recognizing Gu Sarang and Xushi as parents, Gu Jinyu recognizing the Marquis and Yan she as her parents is apparently her being shallow. Gu Jiao is justified in not immediately recognizing the Marquis and Yaoshi as parents, Gu Yanis justified in not respecting the Marquis, Gu Jinyu is again shallow for not immediately recognizing Gu Santang and Xushi as parents Speaking of, Gu Sanlang and Xushi would be sad that Gu Jinyu didn't immediately recognize them as parents, they wouldn't be sad that some stranger took over their adopted daughters body and then scolded their bio daughter when she came to show her respects Cu Jinyu is good for bonding with Jing Kong and the old lady, people she met less than a year ago and has no blood ties with Gu Yan and Yan shi are apparently justitie in not bonding with Gu Jinyu, who they grow up with/raised, because she's not their real family member. Also Gu Jinyu is shallow for going back to the capital with the Marques (who actually likes her and cares about her) instead of staying with Gu Van (who bulles her and Yaoshi (who does nothing to stop that and is pretty lukewarm towards her Sorta wishing the whole switched as birth plotline hadn't happened before that the morals in this story were fairly consistent and now it's just "Everything Gulao does is right, it's fine to be a jerk to other people as long as you're nice to Guja *Gu Yan is also the worst. Xiao Liulangs aloof but he at least does stuff like read villagers! letters, he's courteous to the family who lent him brown sugar, stuff like that. Gu Yan was and continues to be a miserable cuss to everyone except Gu Jiao. He's a spoiled brat Show less

(Sorry, had to fix a ton of typos 😅) Seems like Gu Jiao is supposed to be bluffing because the author keeps saying she "doesn't care" about Gu Jinyu, but to me that doesn't jive. Someone who completely didn't care about Gu Jinyu wouldn't make a point of saying "Oh, send her back to the village then", to win arguments. Saying something inflammatory like that to someone and then being like, anyway I don't care about them at all~ when they get mad is obnoxious. Especially since it seems like Gu Jiao was an adult when she transmigrated; Gu Jinyu is like 14. Pretty shameful to be like that to someone so much younger than you. But really to me it seems like the author has it in for Gu Jinyu for some reason? Like Yao shi and Gu Yan are both clearly supposed to be "good" characters and the author seems to think it's fine for them to be jerks to Gu Jinyu.

Jinyu is greedy. She knew that she's not the real one but she's persistent in making Jiaojiao her sister(?) The original Jiaojiao died and she did not even help her. If the current Jiaojiao is making revenge it's totally reasonable.
