Name: The Chu Family’s Fifth Daughter: Putting an End to Son Preference
Author: Round Face

Synopsis

(Set in an imaginary dynasty. The heroine is neither a transmigrator nor reborn; she is a real child.) The Chu family favors boys over girls, and Grandma Chu is always saying, “The more daughters you have, the less they’re worth.”

Grandma Chu has two sons. Her eldest has four daughters and is about to complete the set of five golden flowers, since his wife is pregnant again.

Her younger son has been married for three years, and only now is his wife expecting. She is about to give birth, and there might be a sixth golden flower.

The night before her younger daughter-in-law was due to give birth, Grandma Chu dreamed that a golden phoenix flew into the woman’s belly. She woke up in tears. The next day, she took both daughters-in-law up the mountain to pray to the mountain god. Maybe the god was asleep.

The younger daughter-in-law gave birth to the fifth golden flower on the mountain, but this little flower became Grandma Chu’s most beloved child.

Chu Lanqin was born into the poor, boy-preferring Chu family, which already had four daughters. She was the fifth, but everything changed after she was born. Her boy-preferring grandmother doted on her, and the other four golden flowers in the family were treated better too.
