[Fake and Real Heiress] [Household Intrigue] [Play the pig to eat the tiger] [Secret identity] [Forbidden Relationship]
Wild and lively eldest daughter of a general's household VS aloof and restrained powerful minister
Everyone thought the real daughter the Xie family had found was a bumpkin from the countryside.
She had crude manners, a strange and suspicious personality, an insatiable appetite, picky tastes, and spent money like water. The people of Bian City all laughed at her for suddenly getting rich.
But they didn't know that Shen Zhaoning was actually the cherished daughter of a border-guarding general. She had fled an arranged marriage and arrived in Bian City after spending all her travel money on the way. To fill her stomach, she had no choice but to accept someone's offer to impersonate the real heiress.
But the fake heiress was no pushover. She tripped Shen Zhaoning up at every turn and secretly set traps for her.
As the art of war says: When the enemy comes, block them; when water comes, build an earthwork.
Shen Zhaoning countered every move and threw the Xie household into chaos, yet won widespread praise in Bian City.
What she hadn't expected was that her fiance's nephew would see through her identity.
This abstinent minister, so aloof in public, would deliberately brush her fingertips whenever she handed him something.
The corridor was wide enough for them to walk side by side, yet he insisted on walking close to her and pretended to bump her hand.
While she was learning to paint, he stood behind her and took her hand, saying he would teach her. As he guided her, he breathed warm air by her ear:
"You have to concentrate when you're learning to paint."
Shen Zhaoning had had enough.
But she couldn't beat him, and she couldn't push him away.
All she could do was cry.
After her true identity was exposed, she had no choice but to honor the engagement and marry her fiance, only to be cornered by the man that very night.
His eyes reddened at the corners, and his voice trembled. "If you dare marry him, don't blame me for showing no respect for my elders."
