[Ancient-to-modern transmigration + princess + stepmother + real and fake heiresses]
Pei Qingyi, the real power behind the throne of the Great Zhou dynasty, was decisive and ruthless. She had helped the young emperor ascend the throne, only to choke to death on a grape presented as tribute just as she was stepping down after accomplishing her mission.
When she opened her eyes again, she had become the real heiress, raised in the countryside and forced into a substitute marriage to become a “stepmother.”
Her fake younger sister greeted her with sugary, spiteful words: “You’re just an adopted daughter. You don’t even count as a concubine-born daughter in the Pei family. What right do you have to come here and discipline anyone?”
When her selfish brother tried to use her for his own gain, she smiled and handed him a bankruptcy report. “I’ve done this before. The Pei family changing hands is simply fate.”
Everyone laughed at the country bumpkin for reaching above her station, but little did they know...
Her autistic daughter created astonishing works of art: “Mom is my guiding star and my muse.”
Her deranged son held up his Olympiad medal: “Anyone who bullies my mom, I’ll blow up their ancestors’ graves!”
Even the cold-faced CEO who “swore he’d never fall for her” turned into a lovesick puppy. “My lady, it’s been so many days since you summoned me. Your husband is here to serve you tonight.”
