Suddenly, overnight, the tsundere appeared.

Two families mistakenly swapped their children - one from a wealthy merchant family, the other from the noble Hou Mansion, with vastly different social statuses. Unfortunately, Yuxiang was the unlucky one who ended up being brought to the merchant family, as a girl with a disadvantaged background, crippled legs, and even labeled with the nickname "ill-fated star" on her head. Helpless, she had no choice but to cling tightly to the legs of the eldest brother of the Hou family, just to get by until the rightful heir returned, so she could quickly make way for them. Several years later, when the rightful heir finally came back, Yuxiang, ready to leave with her belongings, realized that her expertise in clinging to the legs had become too professional for the eldest brother of the Hou family to let her go! The Hou master laughed, pretending to be drunk: "How can a doted-upon foster daughter, raised with such love and care, simply leave like that?"
