Reborn: A Strategy to Win Hearts with Tender Charm

(A self-loathing, lovesick big bad wolf and a resilient, kind-hearted young lady. Sweet romance and healing, one-on-one.)

Before her rebirth, the legitimate daughter of the Scholar's Estate was innocent and kind. But her stepsister, whom she had taken in as a child, grew jealous and resentful of her. Why did she get to be the legitimate daughter? Why could she pick and choose whom to marry? All the young noblemen in Longdu City said she had a fine family and a lovely face, but her stepsister lived in the same home as her.

She married the fine young man her dear sister had so enthusiastically recommended, bringing with her a lavish dowry. Little did she know that her husband had long been in love with her stepsister. To bring the stepsister into the household, he resolutely refused to enter her chambers.

Then came the accusations:

The legitimate daughter of the Mu family was having an affair with the Crown Prince. She was thrown in prison?

Was the man her father had unwittingly offended actually the mighty Regent, feared throughout the land? And was he also her family's servant?

Had her grandfather, once a General Who Pacified the South, become a traitor accused of colluding with the enemy?

The deaths of her family and her stepsister's smiling face were reflected in her eyes as she died.

When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the time before her marriage into the Earl's estate.

In this life, she had no interest in romance. All she wanted was to make money! Separate the household! Open shops! Stockpile grain and dig deep shelters! And above all, never offend that servant who stood second only to the ruler and above everyone else. All so she could protect her family.

She tended his wounds, made his medicine, tailored his clothes... and cared for him in every way.

But why did this servant's gaze grow stranger the better she looked after him?

She had only meant to avoid offending him. When did things go this far?

She'd spent her medicine, clothes, and money on him. Did she really have to give herself to him too before he'd be satisfied?
