Now That I'm Reborn, What's Wrong With Being a Little Arrogant?

Xiao Yuanxi is the noble Princess Changle of the Dali dynasty, known throughout the capital for her gentle, gracious nature. By imperial decree, she marries Lu Jingting, heir to the Prince of Zhennan’s household. On their wedding night, her husband coldly tells her, “I already have someone I love. You are the heir of the Prince of Zhennan’s wife, not my wife in the true sense.” Then he leaves for the frontier, where he remains for twenty years. She holds on to a faint hope that they might live together in harmony. She puts her husband first, manages the household, honors her parents-in-law, gets along with her sisters-in-law, and carefully raises a boy and a girl adopted from the clan. By the time her adopted son has made a name for himself and her adopted daughter has married into a prominent family, her health has given out. She thought she had done enough to leave this world with a clear conscience, owing nothing to anyone.

Whoever provokes her will leave in one piece only if she allows it. As a princess of the Dali royal house, she has money, status, and powerful people backing her. In this life, all she wants is wealth, an easy life, and a peaceful old age!
