[Strong Female Lead, Palace Intrigue, Power Struggles]
Gu Qingli never imagined that she, a princess of the former dynasty and a great general who had fought in the north, would transmigrate into the body of the matriarch of a marquis's household in the current dynasty after dying in battle.
The original owner was the legitimate daughter of the richest family in the capital. Unfortunately, she was a hopeless romantic!
But Gu Qingli wasn't!
Her mother-in-law told her to use her dowry to pay off her brother-in-law's debts.
Gu Qingli: "Sure, I can give him the money, but he's going to have to pay with his life!"
Her sister-in-law asked her to fork over money for makeup and face powder.
Gu Qingli: "Sure! A back rub, a foot massage, a foot bath, and emptying the chamber pot... Pick your poison!"
Her husband returned from fighting a war, bringing along a female general who looked down on women confined to the home.
He even said he wanted to make her his co-wife!
Gu Qingli: "Sure!"
She flung a divorce agreement and an inventory of her dowry in his face. "Pay me back!"
She was done being the matriarch of a marquis's household!
As she left, the Jiang family mocked her, calling her a secondhand woman nobody wanted!
She turned around, grabbed a tutor, and married him on the very day she divorced!
When they met again, she was a poised and eloquent female chancellor at court.
On the battlefield, she was also the undefeated Grand General Who Pacifies the Nation!
When she ran into her ex-husband's "beloved" at the military camp again,
Gu Qingli said, "Come on, let's fight. If you lose, get out! If I win, all of you get out! Got it?"
She had always been strong-willed and never admitted defeat. People said no one cared for her or loved her, but she had plenty of love!
Her parents indulged her, her husband adored her. She was second to none!
