Overview
Sang Ning was born into a family of noble birth and was raised as the mistress of the house. But when she opens her eyes, she arrives in a strange era and becomes a real daughter lost in the countryside by a wealthy family. Fortunately, she is still the eldest daughter. The fake sister claims to be noble, graduating from a prestigious school and having extraordinary talents? How dare she do that when she is not good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? The family members say they feel guilty, but in fact, they are partial to the younger sister? It doesn't matter; house fighting has also been a compulsory course for her since she was a child. Say she has no rules? Less than a month after the eldest lady returned home, the Nan family was shocked to find that the eldest lady who grew up in the countryside was even more feudal than the old man!
