Synopsis:

Ming Huashang is the younger sister in a set of dragon-and-phoenix twins. Considered an auspicious child, she lost her mother at an early age. The Duke of Zhen’guo dotes on her excessively, spoiling her into idleness and lack of ambition, making her completely different from her renowned twin brother in Chang’an.

She originally intended to live a carefree life of comfort and leisure, but one day she has a dream revealing a shocking truth: she is actually the fake heiress. The two children were switched at birth. The true heiress, raised in a commoner’s family, grows up in poverty but is diligent and driven, becoming a well-known talented young woman at a young age—standing in stark contrast to her.

Eventually, the truth comes to light. The true heiress is brought back to the Duke’s household, while Ming Huashang’s status plummets. One night, she is quietly poisoned to death.

Her greatest wish is simply to live out her life and die of old age, so this fate terrifies her. With only one year left before the true heiress’s return, she starts walking on eggshells and tries hard to please her nominal twin brother, Ming Huazhang. However, her cold and outstanding brother remains unimpressed and shows her no warmth. After failing to win him over, she decisively gives up and shifts her attention to her real brother—the top scholar Su Xingzhi, a future chancellor from a humble background.

After her third secret visit to the newly crowned top scholar, Ming Huazhang appears in her room late at night and says to her in disappointment:

“Little sister, your patience is still just as lacking as ever.”
