I get what you’re saying but isn’t she manipulating her stepmother and stepsister into thinking that she’s completely vulnerable “to lessen their guard”. I think with that we can say she’s capable of plotting revenge (which she is doing)... I was just genuinely curious on why she can't take advantage of her title “duke’s only biological daughter” in her plot ^^

Hmmm... Think it like this. A greenhouse flower lady abused since small, manipulated into thinking that she is incapable of fighting back, that she is weak. Oh! And also manipulated into thinking that she held no power.
She always taught into thinking that she is a fish waiting to be slaughter, but one day she got "vision" that she actually can be a shark.
That's the difference between past rian to present rian. Past rian had no means of knowing the power of her title with the constant abuse and manipulation, while present rian can be seen picking the privilege of a distinguish noble daughter to a mere commoner, hence using it.
i honestly don’t get how the mc is being bullied by sharon. like aren’t u THE DUKE’S ONLY BIOLOGICAL DAUGHTER??? she should’ve used that fact to her advantage...
