Xi Muyou was born into the wealthiest family in the land. Though her mother died young, her father doted on her and her brothers protected her. She grew up surrounded by every luxury, carefree and happy.
According to the usual course of life for a girl in this world, when she came of age, she would find a suitable young man and marry him.
But then...
The family's longtime patron suddenly fell from power!
Without their patron's protection, the Xi family was like a juicy piece of meat tossed into a pack of hungry wolves in the treacherous capital.
Countless eyes were fixed on the Xi family.
The impoverished marquis's household plotted to arrange her marriage and use her to prop up their straitened finances, though the household was already hollowed out from within.
A haughty noblewoman wanted to treat her brother as an inexhaustible purse.
And a grown prince in the palace had his eye on the Xi family, too, seeing them as a piece of "meat"...
The wolves were closing in.
Xi Muyou refused to give in or admit defeat. After consulting with her brother, the siblings began to fight back...
Their patron had fallen? They'd find a new, reliable one. Someone wanted to use such despicable tricks to manipulate a young woman's marriage? They'd turn the tables. Someone wanted to treat the Xi family like a free purse???
As if!
What a hideous face, and what beautiful dreams!
