Reborn to Marry a Powerful Official, the Crazy Marquis Is Seeing Red

(The male lead seizes power by force + the second male lead chases his wife after losing her + household intrigue)

In her previous life, Jiang Wantang married into the Marquis's household as the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family. She thought they would live in harmony and love each other until old age, never imagining that her husband, Marquis of Wuan Xiao Jin, already had someone else in his heart.

Jiang Wantang spent her life plotting and planning, only to meet a tragic end: she died suddenly and her body was left exposed in the wilderness.

Only as she lay dying did she learn that the person Xiao Jin loved was none other than a concubine-born daughter of the Jiang family, inferior to her in every way.

Jiang Wantang died with a heart full of hatred. When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the year she turned fourteen.

Since none of it has happened yet, this time the scheming concubine-born daughter and the blind, worthless ex-husband can have each other.

As for Jiang Wantang, born noble into a distinguished family, if she is to marry, she should marry Pei Zheng, the powerful Chief Minister of the court.

Pei Zheng, Chief Minister of the court, was famed for his elegance and spotless reputation. Yet he harbored a secret desire for Jiang Wantang, the wife of the Marquis of Wuan.

In his previous life, he watched the woman he loved marry into the marquis's household and suffer for the rest of her life. When he tried to protect her, he was framed and died in a rebellion. Given another life, Pei Zheng is willing to bear a scandal without precedent and use every means at his disposal to claim Jiang Wantang, protect her, and raise her to the highest position.

But at the spring banquet, Jiang Wantang got drunk and fell into his arms of her own accord, tugging at his sleeve.

"Lord Pei, would you protect me and keep me safe and happy for the rest of my life?"

Pei Zheng smiled faintly. "This time, you're the one who came after me."

That day, Marquis Xiao Jin of Wuan held the torn marriage contract and, eyes bloodshot, stopped Jiang Wantang's sedan. But he saw Pei Zheng step down with an arm around Jiang Wantang's waist, his eyes filled with unrestrained delight.

Later, all of Shengjing heard that Marquis Xiao Jin had gone mad right there in the middle of the main street!
