[Court and household intrigue + political machinations + women’s awakening, with a touch of an ensemble cast + the male lead and her former husband are both reborn]
Among the noble young ladies of the Great Yong dynasty, there was one woman they all envied.
Qin Shuhao, the only legitimate daughter of Prince Zhen’an and the emperor’s most beloved niece, was a county princess of unmatched status and elegance. Sadly, the tides turned, and the phoenix fell into the dust. Fortunately, a young top scholar remained devoted to her and insisted on marrying her, giving her a life of peace.
Qin Shuhao once thought herself blessed. But at the Hundred Flowers Poetry Gathering, she saw her supposedly dead husband, missing for a year, passionately kissing a charming young woman, and realized she had lost completely.
The Earl’s manor: a kind, affectionate old matriarch; an innocent, lively younger sister; a young woman clamoring to become a concubine; a virtuous, respectful stepmother who cared for her husband; and the seemingly devoted Gu Yunhuai... Who knew what was real and what was false?
When she awoke from her dream, the county princess had become an idle woman.
They want her to manage the household?
Fine, fine. She doesn’t want to waste her money supporting a bunch of useless people, either.
They want her to find a concubine for the scoundrel?
Sure. That makes three for mahjong.
They want her to consummate the marriage with him?
All right, what? No way!
She’s been diagnosed with a cold ailment and can’t bear children, so Qin Shuhao stays up all night finding a good concubine for her husband.
Before long, everyone in the capital knows that Qin Shuhao loves the Earl of Huaiyang so much she’s foolishly given up everything for him. And you have to admit, Gu Yunhuai’s household really is harmonious, with his wife and concubines getting along like sisters.
Qin Shuhao smiles softly. She eats his food, spends his money, and ruins him. She couldn’t be happier.
As for those poor women, they’ve simply come to their senses...
With the support of her sisters, Qin Shuhao chooses a different path and finds herself a handsome young husband with broad shoulders and a slim waist.
Later, her childless imperial uncle, instead of adopting a son from the imperial clan, turns his attention to her belly...
