Miss An Is Alluring and Unruly

[If you settle for a corner of the world, then you are that corner!] Everyone in the upper circles of the Lanjiang River knew that An Yu, the eldest daughter of the An family, was a stand-in, and that apart from her looks, she was useless. As a stand-in, An Yu was fully aware of her role. She really was useless apart from her looks. Everyone thought so, and after a while, An Yu came to believe she was useless apart from her looks, too. That is, until the original woman she was standing in for came back. People said An Yu was an uneducated fool. The original woman: @ the genius girl from a top university, someone's bullying your teacher. People said An Yu was climbing the social ladder by attaching herself to the rich and powerful. The original woman: @ the playboy ranked third on the wealth list, someone's bullying your boss. People said An Yu would do anything for fame. The original woman: @ the top-tier star who rose to fame at a young age, someone's bullying your little ancestor. The original woman: Don't thank me. Just call me the queen of @mentions! An Yu looked utterly baffled. This wasn't how the plot was supposed to unfold. Weren't sisters in stories about usurping someone's place supposed to be at each other's throats, scheming and fighting in secret? Had she wasted all those years reading novels? Later on. The original woman fretted, “Sis, find someone else to like. He used to be the top courtesan at Drunken Twilight, and someone even bought him. He's been sullied!” Just then, the former top courtesan sauntered slowly out of the room, his refined, elegant features composed as he drawled, “Little subordinate, you probably don't know that An Xiaoyu was the one who bought me.” An Xiaoyu: ...No, she didn't. She wasn't that foolish, loaded sucker!
