Chapter 1: 001 Marry into the Jiang Family? Be a stepmother or a living widow Chapter 1: 001 Marry into the Jiang Family? Be a stepmother or a living widow Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The last days of summer were upon them.

On stage, two performers, one playing the sanxian and the other hugging a pipa, sang in tender, gentle Wu dialect—a local, famous style of storytelling and ballad singing.
The audience listened to the performance while discussing the most sensational news in Pingjiang City.
“The Jiang Family patriarch is gravely ill, and his children are showing their true colors, each trying to claim their share of the family wealth.”

The discussion was met with long sighs.
“A stepdaughter? What about the status of the legitimate daughter?”
“No choice, when the stepmother calls the shots, she’ll fight for her daughter’s best interest.”

In a corner, a young woman got up, settled the bill, and left with a box of snacks.
On stage, the performers were singing a section from “The Story of the Cat and the Crown Prince,” which went,
“…Empress Liu is quite foolish, exchanging the true master is inappropriate. Quickly switching the Crown Prince with a cat, ordering the maid to toss it into the green waves.”
