Crush the Scum and Ruin the Marquis’s Household: The Madam Refuses to Be a Tool Anymore

[Household and palace intrigue + revenge on scoundrels + satisfying revenge + the Crown Prince pursues his wife + mutual devotion] In her previous life, she spent seven years as a wife in name only, all for Li Nanfeng. On their wedding night, Li Nanfeng told her coldly, “I married you because Grandmother wanted it. I won’t lay a finger on you from now on. Honor Grandmother and manage the household. That’s your duty as a wife.” After she died, the husband who had always treated her coldly spoke gently to his cousin from his father’s side. “She’s dead. I’ll bring you into the household as my second wife right away. From now on, we’ll love and trust each other, and grow old together!” The grandmother who had always been strict with her told the cousin, “Now that she’s dead, your maternal grandmother won’t make you and Nanfeng keep sneaking around. From now on, you’ll be the heir’s wife.” The cousin who had always urged her to let things go said, “Cousin-in-law, you occupied my place for years. It’s time I took back what was mine all along!” She remembered how she had once waited devotedly for her husband to change his mind, willingly kneeling through a whole winter night outside the Chancellor’s residence just to beg for a chance to save his life. She had also treated her husband’s cousin, who had lost both parents, with all her heart. She had even crawled up more than three thousand steps at Jing’an Temple to pray for her recovery. Her grandmother was growing old and no longer had the energy to manage the already rotten Marquis’s household. She had started from scratch, learning to manage it for her grandmother, using her dowry to cover the household’s debts, and bearing all the pressure alone as she gritted her teeth and got the family through its hardest times. Reborn, she escaped a raging fire, switched identities with her twin sister, and returned to the Marquis’s household as Li Nanfeng’s second wife! She would make this household a place of strife and bring the Marquis’s family to ruin! Only after leaving the Marquis’s household did she meet the one meant for her: the Crown Prince.
