[Family-Love Synopsis]
Chu Zhao and Xiao Hanliu were first-time parents.
Chu Yuan was also a first-time daughter.
Other parents are like great trees, shielding their daughters from wind and rain.
But Chu Yuan was the sharp scissors that cut off her father's romantic prospects, and the warm padded jacket that kept her mother cozy.
"Everyone says the Chu family's young lady is the most heartless and ruthless shrew in the world. She drove her grandmother mad, chased her cousin away, and shows no mercy if she catches anyone making even the tiniest mistake." A few people were huddled in the courtyard, eagerly waiting for the pastries to come out of the oven and the sweet soup to finish boiling. One of them couldn't resist sharing the latest gossip from Liang'an.
"What do you think of that, Little Shrew?" asked Princess Nan Jia, delighted to stir the pot.
The person called Little Shrew was tending the fire and slowly stirring the syrup in the pot. "The person who said that must be blind and heartless. I'll admit I'm 'ruthless,' but I won't accept the word 'shrew.'"
After all, she's a young girl.
