After Rebirth, the True Eldest Daughter Starts Brewing Green Tea

Brought to the capital at fifteen, Li Zhizhi is recognized as the Li family's true eldest daughter but is overshadowed by the favored, accomplished Li Suwan. Having grown up in poverty, Li Zhizhi feels like an outsider. A vivid dream of her previous life, where her efforts to win favor were futile, leaves her disheartened. Upon waking, she expresses concern that her presence is harming Li Suwan's health, prompting her father to send her back to the countryside, though Li Suwan’s illness soon improves. Li Zhizhi finds her footing in the Li mansion through her talent for brewing green tea. Her life takes a turn when she encounters Crown Prince Xiao Yan, who immediately suspects her of manipulation and resists her attempts to gain influence. He observes her meticulously cultivating relationships with powerful figures, earning her the affection of the Empress, noble ladies, palace concubines, and even his own sister, while also receiving the title of county princess and attracting numerous admirers. Despite her widespread popularity, Li Zhizhi never approaches Xiao Yan for support. Frustrated, he eventually proposes she become the Crown Princess, a position she declines.
