Original title: The Fake Heiress Is Actually a True Noblewoman
Black-lotus fake heiress x cold-faced, devoted male lead
Yige was born a noblewoman, but after getting lost as a child, she ended up among commoners.
Her adoptive parents treated her poorly and sold her to become someone else's concubine.
Unwilling to accept her fate, she escaped and pretended to be the long-missing second daughter of the Zhou family.
To keep the truth from coming out, she had no choice but to use a marriage to leave the Zhou family.
One day, while visiting a temple, she encountered a handsome young gentleman with refined features and a cold, striking face in the rain.
He was courteous and polite to everyone, but no matter how Yige tried to get close to him, he remained unmoved.
What Yige never expected was that he would propose to the Zhou family.
After marrying into the Xie family, Yige discovered that its household was a tangled mess.
The head of the Xie family had died young, and his relatives had seized control of the family's lifeblood, plotting to swallow up its wealth.
Yige felt a little disheartened. Was this his real motive?
He coldly drove her out of the Xie residence.
The truth about Yige impersonating the second Zhou daughter also came to light. In the end, all her efforts came to nothing. She left Wujiang with her belongings on her back, searching for somewhere to stay.
Three years later, old acquaintances met again, but everything had changed.
Xie Zhuo came from the northwest to the capital, never expecting to run into her.
She was now a noblewoman, betrothed to the Prince of Chong's heir, and a sixth-rank female official.
And him? With the stain of exile on his record, he was merely a guest in the Prince of Chong's household. How could he possibly be worthy of her?
