The Legitimate Daughter Refuses to Be a Foolish Sweetheart!

[Historical Romance + Household Intrigue + Strong Reborn Heroine + Mutual Devotion + Marquis Dotes on His Wife] In her previous life, Xiao Lingyu upheld the Xiao family, cultivated connections, stockpiled private troops, forged weapons, and framed loyal officials. She also married at the Xiao family's arrangement. Though she endured endless grievances and humiliation, just as the Xiao family reached the height of its success, she was stabbed through the heart and left to die in the wilderness.

As the blade pierced her heart, she asked, “Why are you doing this to me?”

Her father, mother, and elder brother all looked at her with mocking indifference.

Her husband put an arm around her sister and dropped the bloodied sword from his hand. “You were never the eldest daughter of the Xiao family. You were just a dog the Xiao family picked up and pushed out front. You should have died long ago!”

Then she was reborn.

Xiao Lingyu severs her ties with her family, breaks off her engagement, and joins forces with the greatest treacherous minister and villain of her previous life to carefully plot the Xiao family's downfall, root and branch!

On the day her plan succeeds, Xiao Lingyu slips out of the city dressed as a man, only to be stopped in her tracks by someone who blocks her way with a threatening air. Before she can say a word, he hoists her over his shoulder, carries her back to the estate, and tosses her onto a couch.

Pinning her down, he grits his teeth in fury. “Run again, and I'll break your legs!”
