Description:

The di mother had deep thoughts and schemes. The elder di sister had a fierce temper. The concubine-born elder and younger sisters – none of them were easy-going people.

Surviving in the Yang family was akin to walking on a tightrope, with one abyss to the left and another to the right.

Others envied her for her luxurious lifestyle, but little did they know how difficult it was, deep in the back quarters of a mansion,  for a concubine-born daughter to take a single step. Her only wish was to be married to a good family, to have a few good acres of land to farm and to spend the remaining time in self-cultivation. ^[2]耕读 (gēng dú) was a way of life during Ancient China, consisting of making a living via farming and spending the remaining time reading/studying.

To gain the ideal life of her dreams, Seventh niangzi of the Yang family puts forward her best.
