An insecure, sensitive, long-lost true heiress × a proud, sharp-tongued, filthy-rich handsome merchant
Qi Yao has had three names. Before she turned six, she was Qi Yao, with both parents alive and a simple, happy life. At six, her family was destroyed. Forced to sell herself to bury her mother, she became a little maid in the Chu household named Xinchou. Then she saw the name of her enemy’s daughter written on the master’s desk, and began plotting everything. She took Su Wanqing’s identity and married Chu Li, intending to get close to him, use him, and turn his anger into a weapon for her revenge…
Chu Li first saw Xinchou in a snowy field when she was twelve. She was crouched by the roadside like a dirty rabbit. He didn’t like dirty children, but his mother insisted on buying her. The next time he took notice of her, she had made her way to his side and become a senior maid. She was a tiny, timid girl, and he had no idea how she had managed to push her way out from among the other maids. Then she disobeyed his orders and rushed out to take a knife for him. He scolded her for being reckless, never imagining that later she’d be bold enough to deceive him completely and make him willingly become the blade in her hand…
