Reborn: I Quit as the Mistress of the House

[Traditional historical household intrigue + reborn revenge and face-slapping + strong heroine + general pursues his wife + powerful couple]

Cool-headed, scheming heroine × sunny young general (mutual salvation)

Chu Wan was a merchant's daughter of humble origins. She married into the Gu household with a fortune in tow, hoping to live a quiet and peaceful life.

But not long after the wedding, her husband, Gu Juncheng, was posted away. When he returned, he brought a concubine with him. Chu Wan welcomed the woman into the household and kept her head down, doing everything she could to preserve family harmony. She gave way at every turn, worked herself to the bone for the entire Gu household, and spent her entire dowry.

Who could have known it was all a scheme? She would never forget the day they stood before her as a family of three, mocking her as the Gu household took possession of all the Chu family's wealth. They had secretly murdered her only younger brother, and as she lay bedridden, they angered her to death.

How could she accept this? How could she not hate them!

Reborn into a new life, she would protect her family's fortune and make the entire Gu household pay. She would also make Great Zhou recognize the importance of commerce and raise the status of merchants.

Everyone knew that Great Zhou's Sixth Prince, Zhou Xuanzhi, was a notorious little tyrant!

His guiding principle in life was always: fight the Xiongnu, fight the Xiongnu.

Yet no one noticed when one day, Young General Zhou stopped going off to war.

He was too busy wracking his brains, wondering why Chu Wan couldn't believe he truly loved her. How to prove his feelings to the woman he loved was a question that left Zhou Xuanzhi completely stumped.
