Summary
My maternal aunt drowned while saving my mother’s life.
To repay that debt of gratitude, my mother brought my younger cousin back to our manor to be raised alongside me.
From that moment on, my cousin fought me for everything.
From courtyards, jewelry, and clothes to food, snacks, and trinkets-if I had it, she had to snatch it away.
My mother told me to let her have her way.
I refused.
Every time she provoked me, I gave her a beating.
This continued until it was time for my marriage to be arranged, and she seduced Lu Miao.
Once again, my mother told me to step aside for her.
This time, I smiled and said, “Alright.”
