The Seventh Young Lady of the Concubine Branch: Her Husband Spoils Her Rotten

Rumor has it that the fifth legitimate young master of the eldest branch of the Duke of Cheng’s household is cursed to lose his wives, having already outlived four of them. Rumor also has it that the seventh young lady of the Duke of Rong’s household, a daughter of a concubine, is exceptionally clever and cunning, with a mind to match any man’s! When the cursed legitimate grandson of a ducal house meets the talented and beautiful seventh young lady of another ducal house, is it a doomed bond or a match made in heaven?

In her previous life, Xie Jin had ambitions as high as the sky and swore she would never be a concubine or a second wife. She thought she had married the man of her dreams, but he turned out to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing. She helped her husband win a noble title, only for her child to die and for her to perish in a fire she set herself. Reborn at the age of fifteen, she swears to rewrite her fate. Her vicious stepmother sends you to the family temple to pray by lamplight, where you hang yourself with a white silk cord! Your hypocritical stepsister ruins your reputation and drives you mad. You hide your brilliance, asking only for a peaceful life, yet somehow stumble into a splendid match.

“Fifth Young Master, my status is lowly. Please leave me alone.”

“That’s all right. I have a reputation for bringing my wives to ruin. I’m not the eldest son…”

A curse on his wives? Were those women simply not fortunate enough to stand by your side? Not the eldest son? A man who rises to become a prince in his own right doesn’t need his family’s favor to make it. Jin’er, you dislike all those fluttering women around me. I’ll send my concubines away for you. All I ask is to spend the rest of my life growing old by your side.
