[Traditional Historical Romance + Transmigration + Palace and Household Intrigue + His Only Love + Devoted to Each Other + Daily Life of the Household Mistress]

They say it is hard to be a legitimate wife, but she never intended to stay.

She never loved him. Making Pei Ci'an fall in love with her was simply the price she had to pay to return to the modern world.

But when the mission failed, she was forced to stay. Only then did she realize that a first love could never become the one he cherished most, because his heart already belonged to someone else.

On the day she gave birth, he returned from his mistress's home. Her heart remained unmoved.

Her cousin fell in love with him, her own sister was determined to become his concubine, and a young lady from the marquis's household was willing to marry him without a proper title. That was all fine.

But anyone who tried to take her position as mistress of the household? Absolutely not!

Her mother-in-law wanted to hand the household reins to someone else? Unacceptable!

Since she could not go back, she would secure her place as mistress and pave a bright road for her children!

As his lawful, legitimate wife, only Lu Shurong would do!

So she readily sold her husband out, charmed her mother-in-law into beaming with delight, and not only gained control of the household but also made her mother-in-law feel guilty toward her.

With the Old Madam's affection above her, her mother-in-law's support below, and her position as mistress firmly secured, no concubine could stir up any trouble, no matter how hard she tried.

But he wanted her to lower her guard and give him her heart.

At first, she had no choice. Later, her heart betrayed her will.

And then…
