This family should have been among the capital’s elite, but through a twist of fate, they ended up as merchants.
Everyone looks down on their humble family and wants her brother to break off his engagement, while planning to give her to a powerful noble.
But the man she saved by chance turns out to be a prince of a different surname.

Someone says fiercely, “Wifey, you can tie them up in a sack. I’ll throw the punches, so you don’t hurt your hands.”
Her younger brother, the chief councilor, says, “Sis, whoever bullies you, I’ll deal with them.”
Her great-aunt, the Empress Dowager, says, “The emperor’s son bullied Baozhu? Fine. I’ll go cripple his father first, then him!”
