Ruling with a New Frame - Episode 1

Zozo, now inhabited by the late Empress's consciousness after transmigrating into her 30th descendant’s six-year-old body, returns to her wealthy household after years in the countryside. Instead of a warm welcome, relatives sneer, calling her a mistress's bastard and a country bumpkin and accusing Grandpa of bringing her back to split the inheritance. Her stepmother fumbles for politeness while a legitimate Hawk heir claims superiority and snarls, "Or I'll end you." The episode ends with Zozo's secret identity revealed to the reader but her safety and place in the family left under a direct, violent threat.
