Favoring a Concubine Over Your Wife? I’ll Ruin Your Family and Win Over the Chaste General

[Rebirth + taking down scumbags + household intrigue + gruff general dotes on his wife] Pei Yunli was the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Anyuan. Her father, the Marquis, had won countless honors on the battlefield, and her elder brother was a scholar and warrior who had just earned the title of top third-place graduate in the imperial examinations. The apple of the Pei family’s eye, she nevertheless fought tooth and nail to marry into the declining Duke of Ying’s household. She thought she and Yang Zhan, the heir apparent, would share a loving life together. But on their wedding day, he didn’t even show his face, and she became the laughingstock of the entire capital. Yang Zhan doted on his concubine and neglected his wife. It took three years of pressure and scheming before he finally shared her bed. Then the child she had struggled to conceive was lost, and he never stayed in her courtyard again. To win Yang Zhan and his family’s favor, she used her dowry and her family’s connections. She alienated her own family and her closest friends, helping Yang Zhan’s household rise to wealth and power, only to be mocked as a barren old hen. In her old age, she was set up, forced to drink a bowl of poison, wrapped in a straw mat, and dumped in the wilderness. Now she was reborn. He favored his concubine and betrayed her kindness? Then they could all go to hell! Step by step, she would make sure the entire Duke of Ying’s household never rose again! Yang Zhan regretted it, but there was no cure for regret! They say that on the day General Song Lingfeng, the Great General Who Pacifies the Far Borders, arrived with an eight-man bridal sedan to marry the second young lady of the Marquis of Anyuan’s household, Yang Zhan, heir to the Duke of Ying, wept like a fool outside the marquis’s gates. When the gruff general Song Lingfeng heard, he cursed outright: “Damn it! That bastard! Why didn’t he cry himself to death?” Pei Yunli didn’t like his rough language, so he hurried over to soothe her. “My lady, I’ll stop, I’ll stop. It’s our wedding day, so let’s not talk about that bastard. How about we do something else?”
