Reborn as the Legitimate Daughter: Divorce! She Won’t Marry That Scumbag

In her previous life, Wei Yinhua defied her parents and older brother to marry the man she loved, marrying into a more prestigious family and becoming the subject of many a joke. She thought she had found a husband who loved her with all his heart. But three months after she married into his household, she caught a chill. After lying ill in bed for months, her condition suddenly took a turn for the worse, and she died. Only on her deathbed did she learn that the man she had fought so hard to marry, despite her parents' opposition, did not love her at all. He had only wanted her status as the legitimate daughter of a duke's household. Though he appeared to be marrying her, he was using her influence to turn his status from an illegitimate son into a legitimate one, so he could later inherit the title of Earl of Yongchang as a matter of course. He had also already fallen for someone else, a woman Wei had treated like her own little sister. He not only disliked Wei, but wanted her dead so the other woman could take her place. Her mother-in-law, who had always treated her kindly, knew everything. Wei alone had been kept in the dark and played for a fool. After using her, they even wanted her life. The medicine he had lovingly fed her by hand each day was not a lifesaving remedy, but poison coated in honey. When she opened her eyes again, she was back in the third month of her marriage to the scoundrel. Before her, he was tenderly preparing to feed her a bowl of medicine laced with poison. Wei Yinhua gave a cold smile. If you show me no mercy, don't expect any from me. Later, the eldest son of the Earl of Yongchang was exposed for carrying on with his adopted sister and poisoning his wife to death. The scandal became known throughout the capital. And the Ninth Prince, usually dignified and composed, who had long served on the frontier and paid no heed to the capital's affairs, was livid. The person I cherish in my heart, whom I would never dare profane in the slightest, has been treated so cruelly. I will kill him myself!
