The Young Lady Returns, and the Bigwigs Call Her Their Ancestor

[Also known as The Ancestress Has Lost Her Disguise Again] [A tough, loquacious heroine with chronic laziness × a self-deluding hero with an overactive inner monologue] Everyone knows the Su family has a young lady whom the Five Great Families adore. Her elders and peers call her their ancestress, the younger generation calls her Aunt, and no one in the entire imperial capital dares cross her. Yet she keeps a low profile and rarely appears in public, so few people know what she really looks like. Rumor has it that the young lady is uneducated and antisocial, a textbook weirdo whom everyone avoids, even as they’re forced to fawn over her. One nobody after another who doesn’t know her shows up to get face-slapped. The brainless ones who do know her rush to get beaten, convinced they’re the center of the world and constantly trying to get attention. Sheng Qinghan rarely bothers with them, but her followers are more eager than ever. The heads of the various families: “You little nobodies, make way! Our little ancestress is here!” Her underlings step up to back her: “This is our ancestress. Got a problem with that?” The big shots: “Our boss has a bad temper, so bear with her. Even if you can’t stand it, you’d better put up with it.” Yu Shaoqing has always known that Sheng Qinghan has designs on him. Every move she makes and every word she says keeps him thinking for ages. Much later, Yu Shaoqing finally works up the courage to confess his feelings to Sheng Qinghan, only to get this reply: “Haven’t we been together for ages?” Yu Shaoqing, completely unaware: “?” Why didn’t anyone tell me?
