Reborn, the Matriarch Walks Away From Her Duties and Does Nothing, Leaving the Entire Marquis's Household in a Panic

[Household power struggles + punishing scoundrels + satisfying revenge + both leads reborn]

In her previous life, Jiang Wan married her childhood sweetheart, Xiao Yuan'an, full of joy, believing she would be happy for the rest of her life.

Their son passed the imperial examinations and became a top scholar, and the entire Yongning Prefecture was managed in perfect order.

Who could have imagined it?

On the day she was granted an official title, inside the Golden Throne Hall, her own son, whom she had painstakingly raised with her own hands, called her a shameless woman who had only sought the title, a cold-blooded mother who had never cared whether he lived or died.

Her husband had long since fallen for someone else. He never came to see her, even as she lay dying.

It wasn’t until the very end that she learned she had spent her whole life preparing everything for another woman!

Reborn in a new life,

Jiang Wan returns to the first year after she married into the Marquis of Yongning’s household.

A domineering mother-in-law, scheming brothers-in-law, a sharp-tongued sister-in-law,

and a white lotus who enters the marquis’s household as a cousin…

Jiang Wan decides to stop trying.

Whether the marquis’s household lives or dies has nothing to do with her.

If they show her no kindness or loyalty, she’ll make the scoundrels pay!

But…

Why does the little beggar she picked up keep looking at her so strangely?

As Jiang Wan puzzles over it, the little beggar transforms into a prince of an enemy kingdom.

-

Everyone knows

that Prince Lu Yan of Beili has an unpredictable temper and kills without blinking.

Beili and Dazhao have long lived in peace.

Yet this unhinged prince sets his sights on the Marquis of Yongning and the newly crowned top scholar of Dazhao.

To sue for peace,

the marquis and the top scholar are sent their heads.

Before anyone can celebrate, the unhinged prince drops dead.

The people rejoice and applaud.

Only an old Daoist in the crowd sighs. “You gave your life to fulfill another’s wish…”
