After Leaving the Father but Keeping the Child, the Young Marquis Clings to Me to Be His Second Wife

[Reborn, face-slapping and punishing scoundrels, marriage before love, raising a child] (The purehearted little rabbit from her previous life turns into a scheming black-hearted lotus)

In her previous life, Shen Li did everything by the book. She was gentle and kind, and devoted herself to supporting her husband. She never imagined he would use her dowry to support his mistress, then marry the mistress as his second wife after placing first in the imperial exams. Together, they made her son a fool, then used him to threaten her and strip her of every last bit of her dowry.

Only after that vile woman pushed her foolish son into a pond and drowned him, and the scoundrel beat her to death when she tried to report the crime, did Shen Li realize how foolish she'd been her whole life.

Reborn at the time her scoundrel of a husband had just placed first in the imperial exams, she swore to protect her son, crush the mistress into the lowly concubine's place she deserved, and get rid of her husband. Wouldn't it be wonderful to live out her days as a venerable matriarch with her son?

The scoundrel was dead, but what was she supposed to do about the young marquis taking a liking to her child? Worse, the little fool eagerly ran up to call him “Daddy.” Shen Li tried to run, but before she'd gone a hundred miles, he had her hauled back.

The young marquis narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “Am I really that scary? The little brat's already agreed to be my son. Are you still trying to run?”

“I don't want to marry again.”

“Then I'll marry you. I'll be your second husband.”

Have you no shame?

For her son's sake, Shen Li shut her eyes and married again.

To her surprise, this young marquis with a terrible reputation didn't seem so bad. Not only was he obsessed with spoiling the little brat, he was getting addicted to spoiling her too?

(That's right, the male lead is a hopeless romantic who can talk himself into anything.)
