Reborn: The Honored Wife of the Duke's Estate

Reborn + everyday life + face-slapping + swapped marriages + both are virgins

After dying, Qin Wanqing, the legitimate daughter of the Qin family, and Qin Shiyi, the second legitimate daughter, are both reborn.

In their previous lives, Wanqing married a newly appointed top scholar who was so poor he had nothing but the clothes on his back, while Shiyi married the only son of a duke’s family, which was rolling in wealth. Everyone said Shiyi had made the better match, and Wanqing became the laughingstock of the capital.

But fortunes change. The poor scholar rose through the ranks to become prime minister, while the duke’s family fell into ruin and became an empty shell. After the old duke died, they even lost their title.

Qin Wanqing basked in glory for a while, but died an untimely death just a few months later. When she opened her eyes, she had returned to the time before the marriage talks. To make matters worse, her younger half-sister was eager to marry the top scholar.

Qin Wanqing curled her lips in a smile. Good, take him. This time, Qin Shiyi can find out what it’s like to pour her heart and soul into a marriage, bring a massive dowry, and raise an adopted son who turns out to be ungrateful.

And now it’s time for Wanqing to enjoy the duke’s family’s boundless wealth and good fortune.

After their wedding, Qin Wanqing watched the young heir bristle with excitement at the prospect of going to hear Xiao Taohong sing. She furrowed her brows and pressed a hand to her chest, playing the tragic beauty Xi Shi. “Go ahead, my lord. I’ll be fine. Everyone already laughs that my husband isn’t as learned as my younger sister’s. I’ll just stop going out.”

Xie Zhao felt a pang in his heart. He walked absentmindedly to the gate, then turned around and went back to his study.

The next day, Xie Zhao couldn’t hold back any longer. He took some money and was about to go cricket fighting.

Qin Wanqing hid her face behind a small fan, looking envious. “Sigh, yesterday the top scholar gave my younger sister a pair of white jade hairpins. I’ve never seen jade that fine in my life.”

Xie Zhao: …

Later, after Xie Zhao rose to the rank of prime minister and secured her a noblewoman’s title, he gritted his teeth and said, “That’s enough, Madam. If you ask for anything more, I’ll have to usurp the throne.”
