The Fallen Marquis’s Estate Flourishes After Taking In a Pitiful Little One

On her way back from worshipping at a temple outside the capital, Wen Shuyao, the loyal and valiant Marquis’s wife, found a seven-year-old girl named Lin Xiaoyu lying unconscious in the snow, after years of abuse at the hands of her adoptive parents. She brought the child back to the marquis’s residence.

Ever since little Xiaoyu arrived, the marquis’s household began to thrive.

The marquis, Lu Zetian, was cured of his old illness and grew stronger than before.

The eldest son, Lu Chengyuan, rose steadily through the ranks in the army.

The second son, Lu Chengyu, passed the imperial examinations and became the top scholar.

The third son’s businesses flourished, bringing in mountains of money.

Everyone in the marquis’s household treated little Xiaoyu better and better.

This made Lu Anran grow jealous and resentful of Xiaoyu. She believed Xiaoyu had stolen the affection that should have been hers.

So she joined forces with the personal nanny who looked after her and repeatedly plotted to harm Xiaoyu.

As Xiaoyu was rescued again and again, the mystery of her origins gradually unraveled.
