Nineteenth Century of Marriage Exchange

Also known as "The Western Version of Married Into the Wrong Sedan, Wed the Right Man." The two Norman sisters get engaged on the same day — and the whole family is sick with worry. The kind, simple-hearted younger sister, Audrey, is to be married off as a pawn into the treacherous, storm-clouded Spencer ducal house; the wise, cool-headed elder sister, Isabelle, is to be wed to a newly-rich upstart desperate to buy himself some social standing. The white rabbit sent into the demon's den; the swan falling into the swamp. Old Norman rolls his eyes back and nearly kicks the bucket. Isabelle — who has transmigrated into this book — pinches her father's philtrum with one hand while wiping her sister's tears with the other, and calmly says: "Let's swap, darling." The Spencer household had gleefully laid its traps, waiting to laugh at the Norman family's supposedly dim-witted daughter. Who could have guessed the legendary "foolish young lady" would turn out to be elegance itself, her ice-blue eyes seeing through every plot and dismantling each scheme as it comes — until she climbs all the way to the pinnacle of power. As for the forgotten Duke? "Oh, sorry. A career-focused mind has no need for a man." Meanwhile, sweet, adorable Audrey melts the icy new-money Herman White with nothing but a shy smile and a kind word — conquering the ambitious social climber before he even realizes he's lost. Decathlete, career-brained elder sister × self-conquering, lovestruck, fake-cool poser Duke. Kind little-angel younger sister × cold, ruthless, ambitious new-money man. Dual female leads making the best of their circumstances to build a beautiful life.
