Screen Crossover: Reborn as Xiao Qin, I Steal the Eldest Sister's Dowry

When Nian Shilan, Consort Hua, opens her eyes, she has become the second daughter of the Dongchang Marquis's household, Xiao Qin Shi. Her elder sister, Qin Nanyan, pretends to be frail and steals their parents' affection, while her mother plans to have her become the second wife of Gu Yanjie, a widower. Nian Shilan sneers. "You want me to take someone else's leftovers? I'll start by strangling the bastard you left behind."

First, she goes on a hunger strike to force her father to let her learn to ride. Second, she joins forces with her elder brother to empty the storerooms, making sure Qin Nanyan can't take the dowry. Third, while Qin Nanyan is meeting Gu Yanjie in secret, she forces her to swear a poisonous oath that her dowry will be no more than the standard amount. Qin Nanyan faints on the spot, and Gu Yanjie holds her close and proposes passionately. "I'll marry you right away."

Three years later, on their wedding day, the mother-in-law at the Ningyuan Marquis's residence hates the vixen who stole her son's heart and lays down the rules as soon as she arrives. Qin Nanyan spends her days kneeling in the ancestral hall and her nights alone. Nian Shilan wins three polo matches in a row, and the noble young ladies of the capital all clamor to call her "Sister Lan."

Qin Zhengyang comes over. "Sis, things have blown up at the Gu household." Nian Shilan flicks her riding crop.

"You picked that old geezer yourself. You can damn well endure it on your knees."
