The Real Heiress 'Wants No Part of the World'

One

When Song Wanning first meets Li Chengru, she has just been recognized as the family's real daughter. Cruel servants make her life difficult, the fake heiress has taken her place, and her parents are kind on the surface but cruel at heart. She's besieged on all sides.

A fire nearly burns her to death in the woodshed. Just as she's in danger, Li Chengru bursts through the door with a spear in hand. He lifts her up with its shaft, and makes Song Wanning's heart race at the same time.

But when they meet again, Song Wanning is plotting to secure her position in the household. "My grandmother will be returning in a few days and hosting distinguished guests from the capital. That will establish my place and let everyone know that my younger sister's engagement to the Chancellor's youngest son is still on. I've heard the newly appointed Regent will be there, too. We can use his influence to get what I want."

But the newly appointed Regent turns out to be Li Chengru, the very man who rescued her from the fire.

Li Chengru looks at Song Wanning and says, "Scheming behind people's backs. The work of a petty person."

Before their many misunderstandings can be cleared up, Song Wanning discovers that her adoptive mother's death wasn't an accident!

The case implicates a great many people, and even that exalted person seems to have a hand in it.

What role does Li Chengru, so beloved by the royal family, play in all this?

And what will become of the love that has only just begun to blossom?

Song Wanning, a local girl raised by a woman who transmigrated into this world, grew up free from the many restrictions imposed on women by feudal society. She thought she could live happily under her mother's protection, but it turned out she was the biological daughter of the Duke of Song in the capital.

She was the wicked real heiress from her mother's bedtime stories, switched at birth and used as a stepping stone for the fake heiress to show off her goodness.

She refuses to accept her fate. She had planned to become a virtuous, kind young woman and a model of the capital, but then she discovers there's more to her mother's death than meets the eye.

Time to investigate!

Oh my gosh! Her mother knew so many powerful people in the capital. She was murdered, and the culprit was...

The male lead's perspective: His father had an affair when he was young, and his illegitimate half-brother was older than him. He joined the army at a young age, endured countless hardships, and became a Great General of the Cavalry. But he couldn't defy the emperor's decree and was dragged into a struggle for the throne. Though he was promoted and showered with honors, his heart turned cold as snow.

He thought his life would pass in this dull way, until he met a young lady from the Duke's residence who refused to play by the rules.

They call her gentle, but she's also willful. They call her willful, but she's also reasonable. They call her innocent, but she's full of schemes.

He thought they were worlds apart, but in the end, he learned they were the perfect match.
