Doting on a Concubine and Neglecting His Wife: The Marquis’s Reborn Mistress Strikes Back

[Household power struggles + crushing scumbags and the worst of the lot + the heroine plays the pig to eat the tiger and never pulls her punches] After marrying into the Marquis’s household, Xie Wanshu devoted herself heart and soul to the family, finally securing a bright future for them all. But those ungrateful wretches turned on her, sneering at her merchant-class roots and joining forces to drive her to her death. Reborn, she was determined to live differently. Her husband wanted her dead so he could marry his ideal woman? Fine. She would make that woman a lowly concubine instead. Her mother-in-law insisted she follow the household rules? Fine. She would play the honest fool: when her mother-in-law sat down to eat, she would clear the table; when she wanted tea, she would spill it, making her suffer in silence. Her sister-in-law insisted on marrying a wife-beater? Fine. She would personally see her off to the wedding. Her brother-in-law insisted on marrying a manipulative woman? Fine. She would help him overcome every obstacle. The twins wanted this and that? She would reunite them with their birth mother, a lowly concubine. The Marquis’s household was left with grievances they could not voice. After enjoying the spectacle to her heart’s content, she faked her death and left in style with a fortune in tow. Three months after her fake death, the household fell apart. Her ex-husband regretted everything, wishing he could trade his own years of life to bring her back. She only smiled coldly and continued traveling the world, living life on her own terms.
