A Lifetime of Filial Obedience, Then I Cut Ties with My Family After Becoming a Substitute Bride

[Substitute marriage, love after marriage, the whole family begging for forgiveness, aloof beauty vs. scheming powerful official] Mu Ying's younger sister slept with a corrupt court official, thinking she would rise to the top. But after taking her to bed, the official refused to take responsibility and instead arranged for her to marry a cripple. Her sister threw a fit and refused to go. For her sake, the family Mu Ying had supported without hesitation cast her aside. Her elder brother said, “Xiuxiu is frail. You marry him in her place!” Her parents said, “You owe this to Xiuxiu. You're not fit to hold a candle to her!” Mu Ying had managed the household and earned money to support her mother, pored over ancient books and personally brewed medicine for her father, and cherished the toys her brother had casually discarded as if they were treasures... She had exhausted herself for them, yet it took only a single tear from her sister to undo it all. Mu Ying finally saw the truth. She stopped hoping for their love and married the cripple. But later... The crippled husband everyone had looked down on became a powerful new minister, while she was honored with a phoenix crown and the title of First-Rank Lady. Her parents and brother, who had always treated her as if she didn't exist, fell to their knees before her, weeping and begging her to look at them...

Too late! Mu Ying never looks back.
