[Traditional Historical Romance + Household Intrigue] Lu Lingxi was born into a family of imperial merchants. They lacked nothing except money, of which they had more than enough. When she married the Marquis of Dean with a lavish dowry and two million taels of silver, everyone envied her good fortune. A merchant’s daughter had actually become a marchioness!
But who knew her husband had already taken up with her younger sister, and had married her only for her enormous dowry? Once he rose to power, he kicked her to death, then seized the entirety of her family’s fortune.
Reborn, she tears away her sister’s mask of a wicked beauty and leaves her husband’s ambitions in ruins. Her sister-in-law humiliates her? Then she’ll send her to her death. Her wicked mother-in-law loves tormenting her daughter-in-law? Then she can go keep her sister company! As one by one, the people who mistreated her in her previous life meet miserable ends, dying or crippled, their families destroyed, Lu Lingxi feels positively radiant.
When she weeps and plays the poor, pitiful innocent, forced into a divorce and winning everyone’s sympathy, no one knows that this innocent has orchestrated it all herself.
In this life, Lu Lingxi only wants to protect her family and live in peace. But for some reason, the notoriously violent heir to Prince Jing’s title keeps pestering her every day.
The heir to Prince Jing’s title says, “Your reputation’s bad now that you’re divorced, and my reputation for violence is known across the land. Why don’t we settle for each other and make a pair?”
Lu Lingxi looks at her mother, whose hair has turned white with worry over her marriage, and reluctantly replies, “All right.”
Later, the heir to Prince Jing’s title holds their eldest son and says, “Now we have a son but no daughter. Why don’t we settle for each other again and have a girl?”
