(Household intrigue + punishing scoundrels + a prince pursuing his wife)
Everyone says Shen Kui is fortunate. As the lady of the Anguo Marquis household, she has always been dutiful and proper, keeping the entire household in perfect order. Outsiders all praise the Anguo Marquis for having such a fine daughter-in-law.
Yet her husband has been cold to her for six years, and Shen Kui has tried everything she can think of to warm his heart.
Then one day, her husband, a man as cold as stone, brings home the mistress he has been keeping outside, along with their son.
For the sake of the Anguo Marquis household’s reputation, she swallows her anger and makes the woman a concubine. But she never expects to end up with her husband favoring his concubine and casting aside his wife, while her birth family is sent into exile.
Reborn into a new life,
she tries just as hard as before, but this time, she is the one divorcing the man!
The most unconventional and unruly man in the capital is Prince Qi.
Once, he received a portrait of a young woman.
The girl in the painting was lovely, hiding under a table and sneaking bites of roast chicken.
He thought it was nothing more than a casual sketch. He never imagined that one day the girl in the painting would stand before him.
Unlike the spirited, carefree girl in the portrait, she now stood poised and composed beside another man.
Qi Chongzhou: “No matter. I can wait.”
