The year Jiang Tao came of age, she suddenly learned that she was only a fake heiress who had been switched at birth. The real heiress who was found naturally hated her and forced her to leave the manor.
The capital was abuzz with gossip. Without the protection of the marquis's household, with only her beauty and no way to earn a living, she was being sent to a remote, impoverished place...
Almost everyone thought the pampered young lady would fall into the mire.
The real heiress even came to mock Jiang Tao, expecting to find her frowning in a shabby, dilapidated farmhouse.
But as she passed the main courtyard, she saw clean, tidy buildings and grounds, lush green plum and apricot trees, and a yard full of little flowers she didn't recognize.
A white cat lazily sprawled on a wooden chair and meowed. A puppy chased butterflies happily, its tongue lolling out.
And the cold, refined heir, who was a stickler for cleanliness, was leisurely teasing the cat with his forefinger.
Whenever he glanced at Jiang Tao, sleeping soundly beside him with her head on the stone table, his expression was utterly tender.
At first, everyone thought that once Jiang Tao lost her status, her engagement to the heir would naturally be annulled too.
But in the end, all they saw was Jiang Tao go from heir's wife to princess consort, surrounded by glory and enjoying every honor.
[Little Theater]
At the gate of the little courtyard, the heir, Xie Jin Zhi, raised his hand to knock, but hesitated and couldn't bring himself to do it.
Just then, a white cat pushed the gate open. A beautiful young woman with cloudlike hair came running after it and gathered the disobedient cat into her arms.
Seeing him, Jiang Tao looked surprised and asked uncertainly, "Did Your Highness come all this way just to cancel our engagement?"
Xie Jin Zhi shook his head and said softly, "I came because I want to raise cats with you."
Jiang Tao was taken aback. After a long pause, she said, "I can raise this cat just fine on my own."
Xie Jin Zhi instantly went pale, only to see the young woman suddenly smile mischievously, her eyes curving into crescents.
"But you could come help me raise a puppy."
