The Adopted Daughter Isn't a Precious Jade

share time: 2026-01-09 06:10:47

To save her family's business, Shen Yuru adopted Lin Xiaoman, a girl believed to have a "fortune that can ward off evil." She hoped this adopted daughter would be as gentle and obedient as a "precious jade," but Xiaoman was a "rebellious kid"—she climbed trees and crushed her expensive orchids, used a royal ink stick to draw a funny face on her portrait, and even teased her for "crying more expensively than pearls" when she hid in the study at night. Just as Shen was driven to bankruptcy by rivals, Xiaoman suddenly took out a wooden box she'd saved for half a year: inside was a portrait of Shen at 20, made from broken porcelain shards, with a missing person notice for her biological daughter tucked behind it. It turned out Xiaoman had long known the reason she was adopted, but used her "naughtiness" as a cover to secretly turn Shen's loneliness into something warm. When the fantasy of a "precious jade" shattered, she realized the most precious thing was never a perfect stone, but someone willing to be "imperfect" with her.
