Reborn, My Adopted Sister Wants to Trade Lives with Me

[Ancient setting + rebirth + satisfying revenge] In her previous life, Chu Qinghan was engaged soon after her coming-of-age ceremony. Her fiancé was a talented scholar from a family of similar standing, chosen by her mother, with a bright future ahead of him. Then the Earl’s household wanted to take a Chu daughter as a concubine for their second son. Chu Qingman had originally been selected, but she told the Earl’s family that she was adopted, so Chu Qinghan was sent in her place. Meanwhile, Chu Qingman took over the marriage that had been arranged for Chu Qinghan. No one expected that the useless second son would eventually become master of the Earl’s household. He never took another wife, and raised Chu Qinghan to the position of Countess, envied by all. As for Chu Qingman, before her wedding she saw that the scholar had failed the imperial examination, so she turned around and became a concubine to a young master from another prominent family. In the end, she could only watch as Chu Qinghan’s fortunes rose higher and higher, growing more and more bitter with envy. Reborn, Chu Qinghan returned to a short while after her engagement. By then, she had heard her adopted younger sister making a fuss about marrying the Earl’s second son. Chu Qinghan, who had been making plans of her own, finally relaxed. The Earl’s household might look prosperous, but it was no place for her. She had no desire to set foot there again. The “scholar” from her previous life came from a simple family, and he was handsome and talented. Even if he had failed the imperial examination in her previous life, that was no great concern. With that in mind, Chu Qinghan married the scholar. She never expected her life to turn out even more enviable than it had been in her previous life.
