Lin Xiaoniang is a concubine of Minglan's father. She is beautiful but good at playing tricks. She always tries to get more power and money in the family.
She starts to target Minglan for two main reasons. First, she caused the death of Minglan's mother. She is afraid that Minglan will find out the truth and make her pay for it one day. Second, when Molan's marriage becomes a key matter, she sees Minglan as a competitor. She wants her own daughter to marry into a better family and live a better life than Minglan. She also thinks Minglan is quiet and easy to bully at first.
But she is wrong. Minglan is not as weak as she looks. Finally, Lin Xiaoniang pays for all the bad things she has done.
