Qipao Beauty, a Petite Drama Queen X A Cold, Abstinent, Utterly Devoted Puppy
When the Ji family's real heiress, Ruan Jiaojiao, returned to the Ji household, everyone from her parents to the servants looked down on her.
Instead, they treated the fake heiress, Ji Mengyi, like a precious treasure.
Mr. and Mrs. Ji: "This girl grew up in the mountains. She probably won't fit in with high society. From now on, we should still tell people that Yiyi is the Ji family's only daughter."
Servants: "A country girl from some mountain village is bound to be ugly and ill-mannered. How could she compare with the elegant and refined Miss Jingyi?"
However, the day Ruan Jiaojiao arrived at the Ji household, she dazzled everyone.
The young woman's skin was so smooth it looked as if it would yield to the slightest touch, and so fair it nearly glowed. Her curvaceous figure was wrapped in a silk qipao, her waist soft and slender, narrow enough to fit in one's hands. She was utterly alluring.
Ji Mengyi was so furious her teeth hurt, but she still reassured herself: So what if she's pretty? A country girl from the mountains must have no idea how the world works!
But then...
Ruan Jiaojiao: "Huh? Is this the whole Ji household? It's... this small? It's not even as big as my walk-in closet. Are you really rich?"
Ruan Jiaojiao: "Where's the beauty room? What? You don't have one at home? Then how do you usually take care of your skin? Do you just splash some water on your faces?"
Ruan Jiaojiao: "Dad, didn't you tell me to buy a few decent outfits? I went to some of the brands I usually wear. I don't know why, but your credit card got maxed out after I bought just one thing. I never knew a credit card could get maxed out! Mine never has."
Everyone thought Ruan Jiaojiao was an ill-mannered country girl from the mountains.
But they never expected that the entire mountain belonged to her adoptive parents.
The mountain was blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Even Lu Cihuan, the only son of the prestigious Lu family, had recuperated at Lingshan.
That year, Ruan Jiaojiao was fourteen. Wearing a pale green qipao, she gathered herbs in the mountains at dawn.
Mist shrouded the mountains. Even the butterflies were so captivated by her beauty that they settled in her hair, fluttering their wings like ornaments.
She smiled at him through the thick morning fog, and the ice around Lu Cihuan's heart melted.
Later, Lu Cihuan spoiled Ruan Jiaojiao rotten, letting her do whatever she pleased and get away with all her outrageous antics. He coaxed her, indulged her, and doted on her. He couldn't hit her, scold her, or bear to say a single harsh word to her.
Lu Cihuan: "I'm the one who spoiled her. If you have a problem with it, take it up with me."
The treasure he held in his palm, indulging and pampering her without ever saying a harsh word, was not someone anyone else could mistreat.
