Reborn, I Married the Mad Young Marquis Instead

Shen Liyang was a Grand Princess adorned in gold and jade, a valiant woman general who had made her name in military camps, and a refined, gentle, virtuous noblewoman. She could have lived like the sun, but love ensnared her, and she stubbornly insisted on marrying a man from a humble family. She loved Xiao Lihe. For him, she defied her parents, turned her back on power, and devoted herself to becoming a wife of the Xiao family. But greed knows no bounds. Barely three years later, Xu Qiaoqiao entered the household with a child, becoming a co-wife alongside a princess of the empire. By then, Xiao Lihe had seized control of the court, and the Crown Prince had been executed. Yan Hui hurried back from the border and managed to turn the tide, bringing Xiao Lihe under control. Who could have guessed that Xiao Lihe would betray them in the heat of battle, throw open the gates, and invite an enemy nation to invade, slaughtering the entire imperial family? On the city wall, the man who had never once told her he loved her took a thousand arrows for her and fell from the ramparts, his body trampled beyond recognition beneath the enemy's warhorses. Overcome with grief and with no desire to live, she leaped into the Yunyang River. The river water was icy. At the brink of death, she was reborn at the moment of her previous leap. At that time, Xu Qiaoqiao had yet to enter the household, the Crown Prince was still alive, Xiao Lihe had not yet returned, and Yan Hui still lived... There was still time to change everything. In this life, she would live for her family and for herself. This time, she would grind the scoundrel and his concubine beneath her heel; This time, she would become the most beautiful woman and marry the finest man...
