[Period Setting + Rugged Hero + Real and Fake Heiresses + Building a Fortune] [Voluptuous Beauty x Gruff Hero Who Says One Thing but Means Another] The moment Tang Zhi opens her eyes, she finds herself in a book as the real heiress, just brought back to marry in place of the fake one. Her parents can’t bear to part with the adopted daughter they raised for twenty years, so they expect her to give in at every turn. Her own brother dotes on the sister he watched grow up and thinks Tang Zhi is plain, dark, skinny, and uneducated. No matter.

She planned to establish herself in the city and then divorce him amicably, but after the wedding, her in-laws cherish her like a treasure.
