After Dreaming That I Was Inferior to My Concubine-Born Younger Sister in Every Way

Xie Ying, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Personnel's residence, has been pampered since childhood and is the apple of her parents' eyes. She should have been carefree and married a fine husband, until one day she dreamed that she was living inside a book.

In the book, her younger half-sister, Xie Yi, comes from a thousand years in the future. She's a brilliant student who can produce exquisite prose off the cuff, a business genius who makes a fortune, and lucky enough to marry the top scorer in the imperial examinations and become a first-rank noblewoman.

Meanwhile, Xie Ying is the contrast character: a rigid, dull woman who follows the rules and depends on men, hoping only to be a parasitic vine. But she can't get what she wants. Not long after marrying into the Duke of Yong's household, her husband Lu Zheng is convicted of a crime and expelled from the estate. She gets kicked out along with him.

When she wakes, Xie Ying is shocked and suspicious. Her half-sister's methods, supposedly from the future, are so bizarre that she can't have her arrested. Xie Yi knows the past and the present inside out, and soon she's going to meet the same fate as in the dream.

Xie Ying: I'm a little scared. What do I do? I can only put on a little tea-acting right here and now.
