I Sought a Better Match, and Won After Marrying the Prince

[Reborn for Revenge + Palace and Household Intrigue + Love That Blossoms Over Time] The legitimate eldest daughter of the Lin family was said to have caused her birth mother's death, and people declared she wouldn't survive unless she was sent away from the household. Meanwhile, the younger daughter born to the second wife was betrothed in childhood to the second son of the Marquis of Changchun. But he grew up to be a notorious wastrel, so the Lin family brought Lin Shu back to marry him in place of Lin Qinglan. The wastrel kept surpassing Lin Shu's worst expectations. As Cao Yichun's debts piled higher and higher, he even came up with the absurd idea of making Lin Shu repay them with her body. Unwilling to suffer that humiliation, Lin Shu burned to death alongside the devil in a raging fire. When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the time before she came back to the Lin family. In this life, Lin Shu would never marry into the Marquis of Changchun's household in Lin Qinglan's place. They wanted to tie her to Cao Yichun for life? Fine. As the elder sister, she'd make sure to give her younger sister that “wonderful” opportunity. The Marquis of Changchun's household could have Lin Qinglan instead! As events unfolded, Lin Shu realized that her mother's death concealed another motive. As she peeled back the layers to uncover the truth, the Lin family became more and more frightening. Lin Shu dealt with everyone who had hurt her in her previous life, one by one. But Xiao Hongyu, who had been secretly helping her all along, finally couldn't hold back. He looked at her fiercely and asked, “My lady, I've helped you so much. How are you going to repay me?” Lin Shu replied, “A drop of kindness deserves a flood of gratitude. For such a great favor, the only way I can repay you is to give myself to you.”
