Blurb:
Xie Junwan has been in this world for eight years, diligently playing the role of the unloved eldest legitimate daughter of a marquis’s household, whose mother died.
She’s been lying flat for eight years. Now that she’s nearing her coming-of-age ceremony, it’s time to arrange her marriage.
The Old Madam wants her to marry into a prominent family that can support the marquis’s household and help Xie Shaohua inherit the title.
Looking at the candidates from every angle, Zhou Yangyu, the eldest son of Minister Zhou, seems the most suitable. Minister Zhou is a cousin of her current stepmother, Zhou Yangyu passed the scholar examination before coming of age, and his aunt is a noble consort in the palace. It’s fair to say he has a bright future ahead of him.
If nothing unexpected happens, she’ll most likely marry into the Zhou family.
The problem is that Zhou Yangyu is the childhood sweetheart and beloved of Xie Junqing, the stepmother’s daughter. For stealing her lover, Xie Junqing swears she’ll never rest until Xie Junwan is dead.
Who could have known that before she even made a move, someone else would get there first, ruin her marriage prospects, and put on a grand show by bringing a matchmaker to the estate to demand her birth details?
Wow! Were the ancients always this fashionable? She loves it.
What does the Marquis of Yuanning’s household have?
A Marquis of Yuanning who only loves his mistress.
An Old Madam with a strong need for control.
A self-righteous Madam Wang.
An inferiority complex wrapped in arrogance, Xie Junqing.
A frail and delicate Concubine Shu.
And Xie Junyue, who lives for her sisters.

Xie Junwan... sipping tea.
A note:
The plot moves slowly, like an old woman’s footbinding cloth. This is a slice-of-life story.
The whole family will get their comeuppance.
Theme: Your own life matters most
A story about sisters and sisters. I'm trying to make up the number of words.
It's so funny, her dad is so convinced
You must be sick, asking a guest to kneel down for the sake of a servant...
Haha, I finally felt better. I would be very embarrassed if I gave Xie Junyue such a beautiful piece of green tea.
For the first time, I hope that the heroine can get married as soon as possible. This family is so disgusting. Except for the brother, I don't want to see the heroine struggle with them. It's so disgusting. There is no good person. It's stupid and disgusting.
She really doesn't look like a real grandma, who is always speculating about her teenage granddaughter's deep thoughts.
