[Fake and Real Young Heiresses] [Fierce, Adorable Little Heavenly Dao] VS [Green-Tea, Self-Important Woman] [Her Maternal Family Dotes on Her] [Her Paternal Family Gets Their Comeuppance]
Jinbao was once the Heavenly Dao, reborn into the mortal world.
But her father, the Marquis, couldn't tell a pearl from a pebble and tossed her onto a country estate to fend for herself.
Her identity as the true heiress and Heaven-blessed child was also stolen by her father's illegitimate daughter.
Her father said, "As long as she doesn't die, that's good enough."
So the people on the estate tortured Jinbao without restraint.
Even the rats in the gutters had a better life than she did.
At least the rats were free.
But the farthest Jinbao had ever gone was the end of her chains.
The little Heavenly Dao was abused.
Misfortune beset the Marquis's household, and disasters plagued the entire nation!
Only then did her father realize something was wrong and bring Jinbao back to the residence.
Jinbao thought she had landed in a nest of good fortune, and offered her father her young, sincere heart.
But she didn't know she was merely a puppet for him to preserve his wealth and peace.
When her maternal family learned the truth about Jinbao's identity, they were furious!
The Old Duke: "That fake granddaughter we poured our hearts into loving? She can get as far away from me as possible!"
Her dignified eldest uncle, the head of the family: "Take away the Marquis's wealth and power, strip him of his authority, and grind his whole household into the dirt!"
Her second uncle, sweet on the outside and ruthless within: "You only said a couple of nasty things to our Jinbao, right? Don't worry, this bowl of medicine won't kill you. It'll just rot your tongue!"
Her third uncle, with fists of iron: "If you do it yourself, all you need to do is break that leg to apologize to Jinbao. If I do it, you'll never get out of bed again!"
Jinbao was cherished with genuine love, and the nation grew ever more prosperous.
The poorest, tiniest country became the envy and focus of every nation.
The entire court treasured Jinbao like the apple of their eye.
The whole Marquis's household came crawling back, begging Jinbao to forgive them!
Everyone in the Duke's residence: "Pah!"
Jinbao: "Pah!"
