Reborn, I Married the Heartless Heir's Father

In her previous life, Li Wen Yuan was jilted by the Duke of Xian’s household after both her parents died, and her reputation was ruined. Her grandmother and aunt, whom she trusted, pushed her straight into a living hell without a moment’s hesitation, all for a petty gain. In the end, she was beaten to death.

Reborn, she no longer wants to be the dutiful legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister’s residence, nor will she let others control her. If the heir wants to break off their engagement, then fine. She turns the tables and marries his father instead. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to become the Duchess?

The Duke of Xian is said to be cold-blooded and cruel, and to suffer from a strange illness. Every woman who has ever been near him has met a terrible end. But Li Wen Yuan isn’t afraid. While the people of the capital are still betting on how many days she’ll survive, they see the ill-tempered duke firmly pull a delicate young woman into his arms. The two of them are openly flaunting their affection in broad daylight. Isn’t that the second daughter of the Prime Minister’s residence, the very woman everyone said would be cursed to death? The duke’s strange illness has been cured!

Li Wen Yuan is at her wit’s end. She’d rather be bedridden with a high fever than wake up aching all over and too sore to get out of bed every day.

The duke’s heir is even more bewildered. He wakes up to find that everything has changed: his fiancée has become the mistress of the duke’s household!
