The Husband I Picked Up Became Chief Minister and Spoiled Me for Life, Making Everyone Jealous

[Palace and Household Intrigue + Leveling Up by Fighting Monsters + Devoted Couple + Loving Wife + Loving Husband]

Mo Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book.

In the story, she’s a doomed cannon-fodder character who dies young.

Her uncle’s family bullies her and abandons her in the countryside to fend for herself.

Life is hard enough, and she’s also being followed and watched.

Luckily, she has a stroke of good fortune and picks up a man.

Yuan Wenhe is a man of upright character and striking good looks.

Most importantly, he’s a sweet, obedient innocent who can protect her and give her a home.

Without a second thought, Mo Xiaoxiao goes with him to the capital and settles down.

Because...

It’s time for her to make her uncle’s family pay.

What?

Her uncle’s family has a golden phoenix now: her cousin has become the Crown Prince’s favored consort?

So she can’t touch them herself?

Fine, fine. Then she’ll take down the Crown Prince too!

She’ll turn that phoenix into a chicken, leaving nothing but feathers everywhere!

After taking down the Crown Prince, Mo Xiaoxiao happily counts her little stash of money.

Then the Empress comes looking for trouble again.

Fine, fine!

So you won’t let her live in peace?

Then you won’t live either!

Years later, when Mo Xiaoxiao, now a first-rank noble lady, is surrounded by the wives of high-ranking officials, everyone asks her:

“Madam, what’s your secret to keeping your husband in line? How do you make him so loyal and capable?”

Mo Xiaoxiao smiles faintly, keeping her accomplishments to herself. “Trust him completely!”

Yuan Wenhe: ...

Watching the noblewomen look as if they’ve had a sudden revelation, he wants to set the record straight.

Wake up.

His wife never keeps her husband in line.

She only keeps the most ruthless nobles in line.

Like the former Crown Prince and the former Empress...
