Torture the Half-Sister! Kick Out the Scumbag Husband! The Marquis's Matriarch Turns Dark After Being Reborn

Shu Yunlan, the matriarch of a marquis’s household, only discovered at the moment of her death that her entire life had been built on a staggering lie. Her husband, supposedly killed in battle and the reason she had lived as a widow for eighteen years, had actually been living it up with her stepson’s birth mother. That woman was none other than Shu Yunlan’s own younger sister, a close relative who had vanished on her wedding day and whom she had searched for in vain. The stepson she had raised into a fine young man was also a bastard the pair had deliberately sent to seize her family fortune. As she worked herself to the bone and fell gravely ill, the child she had raised could hardly wait for her to die. And the husband she had waited for all her life, determined to put her sister in her place, drove her to her death with his own hands. Reborn into a new life, she would ruin them utterly and make them wish they were dead! The heir’s wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Valor publicly divorces her husband, bringing disgrace upon the marquis’s household and leaving it on the brink of collapse. The heir regrets everything and shamelessly begs her to take him back. But that very day, a lavish wedding procession passes through the streets. It is the day Shu Yunlan, legitimate daughter of the General’s household, marries again. The restored General’s household now holds great influence, and her three older brothers turn into fierce protectors of their sister. They witness her unparalleled wedding, and the whole nation celebrates. Shu Yunlan had long since stopped believing in love, but he wins her over with his sincere heart... In the struggle for power among the capital’s wealthy clans, he is content to be at her beck and call. In the contest for the title of tea king, all he wants is for her to favor him. Whoever rules the realm, he will be by her side as she adorns her hair with flowers, shapes the tides of power, and faces life and death with him. “Yunlan, I wouldn’t trade the realm for you. Others may not recognize your worth, but I know you. All I want in this life is to have you by my side.”
