Big Sister

Chivalrous, clever merchant heroine × scheming actor hero

Melodramatic, one-on-one, both leads are virgins and have never been with anyone else, happy ending

Xiang Yanzhi lost both her parents and was raised by her grandmother.

When she was seven, famine struck, and her only family member was killed by wild dogs.

Xiang Yanzhi killed the vicious dog, then turned and threw herself into her master's arms.

By the time she was seventeen, she had learned a great deal: forging identity documents, changing her appearance, and reselling goods. She had amassed a fortune.

Once she had money, Xiang Yanzhi finally had a problem: she needed family.

One night, in a deserted thicket, she stumbled across a noble family's secret.

The nobles were generous, leaving three chests of jewelry in the bushes.

Xiang Yanzhi waved her hand and claimed it all. When you're a merchant, how can you call it stealing if you just happen to find it?

She already had a sack ready.

But then a young man leaped out of the bushes and called her "Big Sister."

The young man was elegant and handsome.

Xiang Yanzhi: "Fine, finders keepers."

The young man looked pitiful. "I want to go home with you."

Xiang Yanzhi: "Sure! Then all the money is mine."

After Song Yan was brought home by Xiang Yanzhi, he proved quick to help and eager to do everything, from entertaining guests to cooking.

Xiang Yanzhi had lived alone for ten years, and she found that having someone else in the house was pretty nice.

Even the shabby little house, with gold buried beneath its floors, no longer felt so empty.

When her master assigned Xiang Yanzhi a task, Song Yan insisted on going with her.

When Xiang Yanzhi fell ill, Song Yan stayed by her side and cared for her.

When Xiang Yanzhi was in danger, Song Yan always stood in front of her.

Just as Xiang Yanzhi began to feel something different for him,

Song Yan left. At least he told her he was going, but he gave no hint of when he would return.

Xiang Yanzhi was alone again.

She discovered her master's secret: her master had promoted her for a reason. She wasn't an orphan after all. She had been born into a large family, and she had a mother. She also learned that the fake daughter her mother had taken back was named He Yingyin.

Song Yan came back, and once again he started getting close to Xiang Yanzhi.

But he was engaged now, and his fiancée was none other than He Yingyin.

Never mind. Xiang Yanzhi suddenly felt that her little house, with gold buried beneath its floors, was already full to the brim.

She was better off alone.

Thematic message: Be sincere.
