The Real Heiress’s White Lotus Act Is Too Much for Her to Bear

The Zhao family of the capital was a scholarly household, and their daughter Zhao Fu was well known. On her coming-of-age day, she discovered she wasn’t really a Zhao, and the true daughter came knocking. Her parents told her the Zhao family would now have two young ladies, and that nothing would change. Zhao Fu believed them. That is, until her mother asked her to give up her courtyard out of deference to her elder sister. Her father asked her to give up her engagement for the sake of their blood relation. Her brother kept taking the new girl’s side, telling himself his sister was kind-hearted. Zhao Fu understood. Her father said, “Your sister is the Zhao family’s own blood. First, remove your name from the family register and put hers in its place.” Her mother said, “She may not be our own child, but you can never tell what she’s thinking.” Her brother said, “The Zhao family raised you for years. You should be grateful.” Zhao Fu gave up. She told Lin Ying, “You weren’t just trying to compete. You wanted everything.” “Take back everything that belongs to you. From now on, we’ll each go our own way.”
