The Farm Girl Who Married as a Substitute and Rose to Nobility

Shen Zhiwei is the one her farming family always overlooks. She does all the hard, heavy work and gets the worst food and clothes. Her elder sister, Shen Zhilan, despises her betrothed for being a poor scholar and throws a fit, refusing to marry him. To save face and protect their spoiled eldest daughter, their parents turn their attention to Shen Zhiwei and force her to take her sister’s place. From a farmer’s daughter whom no one loves to a bride entering the home of a poor scholar, she makes her way from a shabby country cottage to the grand households of the capital. With every step carefully planned, she turns the odds in her favor, rising from an ordinary village girl to a titled lady of distinction and becoming her own source of strength.
