Mistress of the Marquis's Residence

Noble family’s legitimate daughter + outwitting her half-sister + exposing her father’s mistress + holding the household reins

Tang Yiting, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Ninghua, has come of age to marry, but her birth mother died young, leaving her in an awkward position.

There are no sons in the family, and her father has no brothers serving at court.

One day, the Marquis of Xuande comes to ask for her hand on behalf of his son, Lin Cheng’an.

Her younger half-sister, Tang Yiyuan, thinks this is a rare and excellent match.

She begs their father to force her way into the marriage too, so the two sisters can share one husband.

The Marquis of Xuande has only one son to inherit his title, so she is sure she’ll be more favored than her older sister once they marry into the family.

Her little sister’s wishful thinking is practically written all over her face.

But after the marriage, she discovers that things aren’t at all as she imagined.

Where has her kindhearted, easygoing older sister gone?

How did the mistress lose favor?

Why did her mother-in-law give her sister control of the household?

And why does the young marquis always take her sister’s side?

How can her sister be a harmless little bunny?

She’s clearly a sly fox who’s a master at scheming!

Tang Yiting smiles calmly.

What her little sister doesn’t know is that winning over one’s in-laws is far better than relying on an unreliable man.

With the household reins in hand, she’ll never have to worry about food or clothing.
