After Being Reborn, I Stole the White Lotus Script from the Beloved Illegitimate Sister

In her previous life, the willful Lin Queqing had neither her father's love nor her mother's, and she couldn't even win the heart of the man she loved. In this life, she takes her white-lotus half-sister as her role model, mentor, and spiritual guide. She brings out every trick in the green-tea, red-tea, and oolong-tea playbook. Her father is so charmed by her that his complexion glows, and the wealthy young ladies who once looked down on her now invite her to flower-viewing parties and banquets. Pei Sichuan defies the imperial decree and sneaks into the capital just to buy Lin Queqing her favorite pear pastries. But the girl who always made his heart ache for some inexplicable reason no longer pays him any attention.
