[Main Story Complete] After the true and fake heiresses each returned to their rightful families, the fake heiress Ming Dai was left with nothing but an old house her deceased birth parents had left her and a fiance who was said to have been betrothed to her before birth. Penniless, Ming Dai shamelessly latched onto the fiance who had fallen into her lap for free: Wei Qin. Wei Qin came from a family of gentry in Yangzhou and had once been hailed as a prodigy. He passed the provincial exam at eighteen and placed on the palace examination rolls at nineteen.
