Favoritism

As the eldest daughter of a fallen noble family weighed down by debt, marrying into the Yin family was the best choice for Hexu Yi. If she could name a high price for herself, she didn't mind treating marriage as a business deal. Compared to becoming a laughingstock among the nobility, owing someone something felt even more shameful. The Yin family was richer than any nation, but lacked only a stepping stone into the aristocracy. The match was perfect for both sides. As for Yin Ruzhuo, living together with mutual respect and affection would suit them just fine. Hexu Yi: A business deal means no one gets hurt. At first, Yin Ruzhuo hadn't planned to take advantage of someone in a difficult position. But when she saw the girl she hadn't seen in ten years again, she was tempted by the proposal. Yin Ruzhuo: If you love her, spend money on her. The stubborn eldest daughter of a fallen noble family, gentle on the surface but hard as iron underneath × a wealthy older woman who seems sharp, capable, and always in control, but is actually a lovestruck romantic.

She grew up pampered, with a capricious nature and ruthless methods. She never expected that one day her mother would beat up her aunt, causing the Demon Sect to fall apart. Neither she nor her aunt managed to claim the title of the world's greatest, and instead her righteous mother taught them both how to behave. Her aunt went mad with rage. After half a year of being taught how to behave, Shen Cuo finally decided to “turn over a new leaf,” “start again,” and “retire to the mountains.” Yanzhi wasn't originally called Yanzhi.
