The Eldest Daughter Lays Flat
She quietly bore the weight of expectation, always covering for her younger sister, Liu Wanqing's, endless antics, always protecting the family’s name. But duty has its limits. When her innocent sister brazenly claims the eldest daughter's fiancé—and their parents, swayed by crocodile tears, condone the betrayal—her perfectly sculpted world shatters. Heartbroken, her future dissolved, a lifetime of striving for favor finally ends. No more tears. No more futile struggle. In a society expecting her to rage or fight, she makes a radical choice: to simply lay flat. To step back from the game entirely. But what happens when the meticulously groomed heir refuses to play by the rules? When she stops caring about reputation or propriety, about the carefully constructed façade? Will her quiet refusal be her undoing, or will it unleash an unforeseen chaos that changes everything, for everyone?
