You Don't Want the Powerful Minister's Legitimate Daughter? Fine, I'll Be Your Sister-in-Law

[Rebirth + two clever leads + taking down scumbags + sweet romance + a touch of court intrigue]

(Daughter of a powerful minister × son of a wealthy family) (Princess of the realm × young general)

In her previous life, Bai Ruoqing, the youngest legitimate daughter of Bai Shangchuan, a second-rank Crown Prince's Tutor and Minister of Works, died horribly in a brothel alley for the sake of a merchant's illegitimate son. Her father was demoted, her mother was murdered, and her brother was killed on his way home in triumph!

It was all because of a man! Though beautiful and talented, she was manipulated by a man who had been exploiting her since childhood. He used her to climb to the top, becoming the richest merchant in Jingzhou. In the end, a single remark from a famous courtesan cost Bai Ruoqing her life.

Reborn, Bai Ruoqing reshapes her image, befriends the Second Princess, and sets out to tear apart the treacherous men and women who wronged her.

But she never expected Chen Shangwen, the peerlessly handsome elder brother of the scoundrel, to bring her a secret himself.

The courtesan who had wanted her dead was a spy from an enemy kingdom!

You don't want the daughter of a powerful minister? Fine. I'll become your sister-in-law, take away your future, and seize your lifeline!

But the person behind the courtesan has set his sights on the Bai family! No matter how difficult the road ahead, Bai Ruoqing will not let her family suffer the same fate in this life. She will make the Bai family the foremost among Qilong's officials!

Yet one day, Chen Shangwen smiled at her and said,

“Ruoqing, I'll give you everything you want. Today, I'll personally hand over to you my younger brother, who knows nothing but how to live beneath other people's heels.”

From that moment on, the rope reaching down from the edge of a towering cliff gave Bai Ruoqing, alone in the abyss, her first glimpse of light.

“My dear Ruoqing, don't be afraid. Just keep moving forward.”
