The Fake Heiress Stirs Up Rivalry in the Marquis's Residence

Mumu has just transmigrated into the Hou household as a fake heiress when the real heiress, Xiao Yujin, comes back to claim her inheritance. Mumu’s identity is as fragile as paper and could be exposed at any moment. If that happens, she’ll be thrown into a pig cage for sure.

To stay alive, Mumu has no choice but to work herself to the bone. She dives into the accounts office and sorts out every transaction, turning the ledgers into a lifeline she clings to. She learns the servants’ schedules inside out and even knows exactly what the heir likes and dislikes, turning every secret in the Hou household into leverage.

When Xiao Yujin storms back, she discovers that the fake heiress has already made the Hou household as secure as an iron fortress. Even the old retainers from Xiao Yujin’s maternal family have become “one of their own,” thanks to Mumu’s business savvy.

The heir holds the secret business report Mumu drafted and says with a smile, “Second Miss Xiao probably never expected that the capital’s silver would end up flowing into the Hou household thanks to you, the ‘fake heiress,’ did she?”

When the real and fake heiresses finally clash, the tide of victory quietly shifts within the iron fortress of the Hou household that Mumu has built through sheer hard work.
