When Xie Qingge was seventeen, she was suddenly told that she was the fake heiress. Later, the real heiress, Shen Wanci, returned. Xie Qingge thought she'd be kicked out of the family, but after she packed her bags, Shen Wanci suddenly told her to stay.

Shen Wanci thought for a moment. “I don't see why not.”
Xie Qingge: “?”
