You Let Me Down While I Was Alive, So Why Are You Crying Now That I'm Dead?

[Fake heiress, reborn, historical household drama, one-on-one romance, regret and redemption] In a famine-stricken, chaotic era, the entire Marquis’s household is full of sickly adults and children. Only the eldest daughter, Yun Ling, keeps everything running, barely getting them through the crisis. By the time she has worked herself sick, grown old and ugly, and become the laughingstock of the capital as an “old maid,” she learns that she was never a daughter of the marquis’s family at all. The real heiress has been plotting in secret for years. She takes the fortune Yun Ling earned and rises to become the Crown Prince’s favored concubine. Yun Ling is thrown out of the house and eventually dies miserably on the street. After being reborn, Yun Ling quickly helps the real heiress reclaim her rightful place. Then she takes a look around the street, picks out a sickly scholar, and proposes to him on the spot. They’re to be married the very next day. Who could have expected that the entire household would be reborn one after another, all kneeling before her and begging her not to leave? The old marquis, paralyzed for years: “Good granddaughter, without you managing the household, I wouldn’t just stay paralyzed, I’d starve to death tomorrow!” Her second uncle, who seems almost an idiot: “Niece, you’re the marquis’s household’s only hope. From now on, I’ll protect you. No one will lay a finger on you!” The vicious, scheming concubine: “Only Yun Ling gets to run this household! Anyone who won’t obey her, I’ll be the first to hack them to death!” Her five-year-old younger brother: “I love my sister most! If you don’t believe me, I’ll go bash my head against the wall and prove it with my life!” Yun Ling: “Since you’re all so sincere, I suppose I can…” “No!” The supposedly frail young heir, who can’t even lift a chicken, suddenly appears and pulls Yun Ling into his arms. “You lot are a bunch of ugly losers. You think you can steal my future wife? Dream on!” Yun Ling stares at him, bewildered. “Wait, who are you?” The man’s eyes immediately brim with tears. “Wife, you’ve proposed to me three times already. Are you still going to deny it?”
