[Both leads are inexperienced + Cunning + Stunning heroine + Rise from the ashes + The hero chases her only to be rejected + Contrasting male lead]
After accidentally dying, top-tier star Yun Shengsheng wakes up in the body of a marquis’s daughter in an ancient world.
Yun Shengsheng thinks she’ll get to enjoy the carefree life of a young lady.
That is, until a maid in the courtyard tells her to clean out the stables. She’s stunned.
What? I’m a fake daughter, and the real one was found years ago?
What? My five brothers are heartless, and now that they have their biological sister back, they don’t want the sister who’s been by their side all these years?
What? I used to chop wood and haul water in summer, and light the fire and do the laundry in winter?
Pah! What a joke. Not even a dog would stay here.

So Yun Shengsheng climbs into the bridal sedan that was supposed to carry Yun Nuannuan to her wedding, and is married off to the estate of the crippled, hideous heir to the Prince of the West.
Yun Shengsheng goes in planning to become a widow. But the moment she sees the heir, Xiang Jinyuan, all Yun Qingqing can think is:
What do you mean, hideous cripple? Isn’t this my handsome, dashing, wealthy husband I lost years ago? Give me a kiss, darling^3^

Everyone in the estate knows that the heir, Xiang Jinyuan, is cold by nature and has never shown much interest in women.
So why have they noticed him sneaking into the heir’s wife’s room every night lately?
Xiang Jinyuan: This is all your fault. You have to take responsibility.
Yun Shengsheng: Hah! How can the heir to the Prince of the West spend every day sprawled on my bed?

One of them governs, serving as regent of the court.
The other runs the household, keeping the courtyard harmonious and the money rolling in.
Bystanders: The two of them are truly made for each other.
