Only after framing her adoptive father did Wang Yuting finally understand. If it weren't for her overwhelming ambition, she could have had a perfectly normal life with her adoptive family.
She, too, could have married any outstanding young man in the Imperial City, just like a true lady from a prominent family.

She believed she was smarter and prettier than her adoptive mother, so she deserved to marry someone better.
And in their social circle, Mu Ziquan was the most outstanding of all. So, from the age of fifteen, she began fantasizing about marrying him.
Before Mu Ziquan discovered her intentions, he had treated her very well, seeing her as a genuine cousin.
It was precisely his kindness and excellence that made her fall for him, to the point where she was hopelessly in love and even more determined to marry him.
