[Rebirth + household and palace intrigue + marrying the Imperial Uncle + second male lead’s pursuit and regret]
Yun Suwan spent years fawning over the heir, only to see her entire family executed and be betrayed by her husband and her tea-scented cousin, who took everything from her.
Reborn at fifteen, she found the Marquis’s household at her door with a marriage proposal.
Her future mother-in-law looked down on her, tricking her into offering a dowry worth ten thousand gold taels and making her kneel as she left for the wedding.
Smiling sweetly, Yun Suwan spoke first: “Listen carefully. I don’t want him! I’m the one breaking off the engagement!”
But the heir began to take an interest in her.
When she reached the end of her rope, she threw herself into her Imperial Uncle’s arms, tears falling. “I’d rather be your concubine than his wife.”
She thought to herself that the Imperial Uncle, so young yet already in a lofty position, was aloof and celibate, and wouldn’t really want her.
But after waiting and waiting, all she got was a wedding night of blazing red candles and music that never stopped…
I think it's quite interesting. Although the heroine is the direct daughter of a general, the story of the difficulties faced by women in ancient times and the current situation under the power of the imperial power is realistic and believable.
