Everyone in the capital said Xia Kongyan was the perfect lady of the house. She served her parents-in-law, found concubines for her husband, and raised his children by other women.
But Xia Kongyan's story was very different.
She worked herself to the bone day and night, using the vast fortune her father had left behind when he died in battle to support the marquis's household. In return, her husband favored his concubine and cast his wife aside.
The day she died, the marquis's residence was full of celebration. He was throwing a birthday banquet for his beloved concubine.
Her body was dumped in a well in the back courtyard. She didn't even get a plain coffin.
Reborn into a new life, she called off the marriage and gave her place as lady of the house to his concubine, then watched coolly as their lives descended into chaos and they turned on one another.
After avenging herself, she planned to enjoy a carefree life, but accidentally got involved with a spoiled playboy.
“You slept with me and now you think you can leave?”
“Just wait. I'll come marry you properly, with the matchmakers and betrothal gifts!”
