[Clear-headed, resilient marquess’s wife x powerful, devoted chief councilor] [Mistress of the marquess’s household vs. woman who transmigrated into a book] [Second male lead chases his wife to win her back]
Xie Wanqing, daughter of the serving Minister of Revenue, had been married to Ji Huaichuan, the Marquis of Zhongyong, for ten years. On their wedding day, her husband left for the borderlands, and she waited alone in an empty house for five years. At long last, she finally welcomed him home.
He returned with a pregnant woman, whom he called the widow of his benefactor. He treated her as an honored guest and told Xie Wanqing to receive her with courtesy.
Xie Wanqing believed him. She cared for the woman throughout her pregnancy and, having borne no children in her ten years at the marquis’s residence, even agreed to take her child as her adopted son at Ji Huaichuan’s request.
But in the end, she learned that this woman was the one her husband truly loved. They had been secretly involved all along. Even after Xie Wanqing had devoted herself to the marquis’s household and waited bitterly for him for five years, all she got from him was a cold, “You’re a good woman, but she’s the one I love.”
The winter pond was bitterly cold. It chilled not only her bones, but her heart as well.
When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the day five years earlier when Ji Huaichuan came home with the pregnant woman. The woman repeatedly claimed she wanted no title, only to be the one in her husband’s heart, and everything she said and did seemed strange.
This time, Xie Wanqing would no longer let others push her around. She watched with a smile as chaos consumed the marquis’s household.
In the end, the household fell apart like a heap of loose sand, and its members desperately clung to her as their only lifeline.
Xie Wanqing gave a cold smile and walked away without looking back.
Before long, the capital was abuzz with the news: the powerful chief councilor was finally taking a wife.
With formal matchmakers, six betrothal gifts, a phoenix crown and crimson robes, and a grand bridal procession stretching ten li, he was marrying the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, who had severed all ties with the Marquis of Zhongyong.

Good-looking, friends who watch it every day, may your every day be as bright as the sun, your mood as free as the wind, and your happiness as boundless! 😊
It's pretty good-looking. Although it's a little weak in the front, it's fine in the back.
It's a pretty good book. Why is the rating so low?
It may not have been easy to reconcile in ancient times, but I was just so tired! 🤦 I hope good people have a safe life ❤️ (Selfish people must have a bottom line in life! Otherwise, they will harm others and themselves)
Very beautiful, step by step, the ending is perfect
It's so beautiful, come in and take a look
So pretty, so pretty
I think it's okay. The heroine didn't get cheated by the scumbag and turned back. She always insisted on her own ideas. The hero is also very good.
