Synopsis

[Noblewoman reborn + adored by the emperor + cherished by the Grand Matriarch] Song Chuyu died peacefully. She had been granted an honorific title and had enjoyed a life of wealth and luxury for years. But she never imagined she would come back from the dead! Even more astonishing, her cousin had also been reborn, and had stolen her husband. In her previous life, she was supposed to marry a poor scholar. Though they endured many hardships, her husband was ambitious and rose steadily through the ranks. She, too, was granted an honorific title and earned the respect of others. Her cousin, meanwhile, married the legitimate son of a marquis. She should have lived a life of splendor, but her husband’s heart belonged to his beloved, and he refused to share her bed for their entire marriage. On top of that, her husband was not favored by the marquis and failed even to secure the heir’s position. Though her cousin had married into the marquis’s household, she never enjoyed even a scrap of its wealth and glory. She lived on tenterhooks, and even the servants could trample on her dignity. In the end, because she had no children, the marquis’s household sent her back to her parents’ home with a letter of divorce. And this time, her cousin had been the first to snatch away the poor scholar who should have been Song Chuyu’s husband? Song Chuyu calmly let her have him. Her cousin did not know that the scholar had succeeded not because he was especially capable, but because he was married to Song Chuyu. The emperor treated her like his own younger sister. Whoever married her could rise to fame and fortune. Without her, a mere scholar would never have made it into the circles of the elite. As for marrying a nobleman whose heart belonged to another, and who might even have a hidden ailment? That was wonderful. In her previous life, she had worked herself to the bone planning for her children, only to raise a bunch of ungrateful ingrates. She had suffered enough from childbirth and child-rearing, and had no interest in romance. In this life, she only wanted to be a respectable rich lady, free from the hardships of everyday life, and spend her days in leisure and splendor, enjoying the emperor’s favor.

Looking for Household-Intrigue Novels Where the Heroine Becomes the Principal Wife or a Concubine and Fights for Herself and Her Children

I want palace-intrigue household drama. Nothing where the heroine simply lies flat or clings to someone's coattails. If clinging to someone's coattails lets you be treated as an equal, then you might as well not write an ancient-setting story at all: how fake is that? Life before marriage and scheming for a marriage alliance are fine, such as the perspectives of Lin Xiaoniang and Molan in The Story of Minglan.
