The Unvirtuous Wife Returns, and Both Her Husband's Family and Her Own Tremble

Everyone says the Yao family’s second daughter is blessed to have married into a marquis’s household.

But who knew that Lord Lu had been having an affair with his widowed cousin-in-law for years before he even married, and had two illegitimate children?

Both her husband’s family and her own are a pack of ingrates.

They eat and drink at her expense, then complain she doesn’t earn enough.

Her husband keeps a mistress, while her sister-in-law tells her to reflect on herself, claiming her poor service drove her elder brother to seek someone else.

…

Enough. Bah.

Now that she’s alive again, whoever wants to be the “virtuous wife” can have the job!

Her talented elder brother got into the Hanlin Academy? Ha! Not this time.

Her husband’s family grew rich? Her husband was promoted two ranks? Not happening!

She thought she was keeping a low profile, so why has that powerful nobleman from her past set his sights on her again?

The man blocks her path.

“Why do you always avoid me, Madam Yao? Could it be we’ve met before?”

She hurriedly waves her hands. “Don’t get the wrong idea! We barely know each other.”

His gaze darkens.

“Is that so? Then why do I feel that you remind me of someone I know very well, Madam Yao?”

A cold, commanding man meets a sharp-witted, scheming woman.

Everyone says Madam Yao is heartless and ruthless, neither virtuous nor filial nor kind. So why is he so taken with her?
