CompletedAs the villainess in an old-school wealthy family novel, Ning Yuxuan possessed stunning beauty and an enviable background—her mother was a once-renowned film queen, and her younger brother was a top-tier celebrity with a massive fanbase.
Yet she was obsessed with stealing the male lead from the heroine, alienating both her mother and brother in the process, ultimately dragging the entire family into disgrace: her mother fell from grace, and her brother sank into depression.
On the day the variety show Dear Mom aired, Ning Yuxuan woke up to reality:
“Love-struck idiots get nowhere—better to be a momma’s girl and coast through life!”
Before the show aired, netizens sneered:
“Ning Yuxuan? Heard no one in her family likes this mediocre older sister.”
But in the first episode—
Upon learning her daughter had finally broken up, the retired film queen quietly filled an entire room with luxury gifts for her.
Her brother, seemingly indifferent, struggled to suppress a smirk as he headed to the kitchen to cook Ning Yuxuan’s favorite dishes.
Ning Yuxuan happily indulged in the feast while grinning at the camera:
“That’s right, my dream is to be a full-time daughter at home.”
Netizens gaped at the overflowing designer bags and jewelry—and the A-list idol obediently washing vegetables in the background:
“Wait, being a full-time daughter is this amazing?!”
“Mom, from today on, I’m your long-lost daughter!”
“Even the most rebellious superstar still has to cook for his big sister at home!”
Later, viewers noticed that Xie Zhiyan, the powerful head of the Xie family in Beicheng, seemed unusually close to the Nings.
He discussed films with the retired film queen, brought gifts for the brother—yet appeared distant with Ning Yuxuan.
Haters seized the chance to mock:
“A shallow woman like Ning Yuxuan should be grateful just to share a screen with CEO Xie. Expecting him to acknowledge her? Dream on.”
Soon after, the internet erupted when footage surfaced—
The coldly elegant man gazed tenderly as he held a custard tart to Ning Yuxuan’s lips:
“Xuanxuan, when do you want to go public with us?”
Netizens: “…?!”
The world agreed Ning Yuxuan was blessed—adored by her extraordinary family and married to the legendary Xie Zhiyan, the undisputed prince of Beicheng’s elite circle.
During an interview, the host brought up rumors about Xie’s wife.
Xie Zhiyan smiled faintly:
“I’ve loved my wife for years. Getting to marry her was my good fortune, not hers.”
