[Reborn, laid-back fake heiress X ruthless, powerful minister]
In her previous life, her father spent years away at war. Following her mother's dying wish, Yu Nanzhi raised her younger siblings, kept the clan in line, and single-handedly held together the vast marquis's estate.
When her father returned to the capital to report on his duties, he brought back a woman and made her his second wife. Her stepmother took control of the household and planned to marry her off as she pleased.
Fortunately, her maternal family stepped in and arranged a match for her with Lu Er, a rising nobleman in the capital.
But on the eve of her wedding, a young woman showed up and claimed Yu Nanzhi was nothing more than a substitute, not the real daughter of the marquis's family. Yu Nanzhi lost everything: her family, marriage, reputation, status, and life.
As she lay dying, she heard that her maternal uncle, Cui Jiulang, had risen to the highest ranks of the court. Ruthless and merciless even toward his own family, he found fault with her father's conduct and destroyed the entire Pingyuan Marquis's estate.
When Yu Nanzhi opened her eyes, she had returned to the time when she had just taken charge of the household. After much painful reflection, she decided to stop trying and prepare to cling to her maternal uncle for support...
But before she could make a move, he came running to her aid of his own accord.
