Wei Zhaorong, the Old Madam of the Mingde Marquis Estate, contracted smallpox and died miserably in the estate’s back courtyard. Before her death, her most favored eldest son, Xie Chuan, who doted on concubines over his wife and indulged in debauchery, had not returned home for days. Her most prideful second son, Xie Sheng, had severed ties with the Marquis Estate. Her most beloved youngest daughter, Xie Wanyi, feared the contagion of smallpox and never once stepped foot near her.
To her utter shock, it was her most despised weak-willed eldest daughter, Xie Wanrou, and the illegitimate son she loathed, Xie Lan, who joined hands to give her a grand and dignified funeral.
When she opened her eyes again, Wei Zhaorong had been reborn—one year after the death of Marquis Xie Bo’an. Xie Chuan had not yet inherited the nobility, Xie Sheng had not left the family, and Xie Wanyi had not yet married.
This lifetime, the Marquis Estate was about to turn upside down.
The partial old madam was once again outrageously biased—but this time, her favor fell upon the long-neglected eldest daughter, Xie Wanrou, and the illegitimate son, Xie Lan.
Xie Chuan, Xie Sheng, and Xie Wanyi exchanged bewildered glances before dropping to their knees, clutching her legs and wailing, “Mother, Mother, we are also your children!”
Wei Zhaorong replied coldly, “Whoever can bring glory to the Marquis Estate—only then will I acknowledge them as my child.”
