[Plenty of chapters already written, so enjoy with confidence]
On a winter's snowy day, the illegitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's household and her mother were wrongfully killed by the principal wife.
She thought her life would end there, but when she opened her eyes, she had become Yun Lan, the legitimate younger sister abandoned in Yangzhou.
Ten years later, the Prime Minister's household brings Yun Lan back to the capital.
Everyone assumes that a girl from the countryside has never seen the world. But Yun Lan excels at the four arts: the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Even the Emperor praises her beauty, restraint, and composure, saying that any family she marries into would be honored with an official title.
The families who once looked down on Yun Lan are now sick with regret, and a line of excellent marriage prospects forms for her to choose from.
But Yun Lan refuses, because during her ten years in Yangzhou, she had already fallen for the unattainable branch of the prestigious clan that everyone admired.
