Married to a Castoff from the Start, the Frail Concubine-Born Daughter Becomes the Envy of All

[Transmigration + Distant Marriage + Substitute Bride + Love After Marriage + Young Emperor and Empress + Mutual Healing]

Lou Yulu, the eldest daughter of a modern aristocratic family, died during a peacekeeping mission and transmigrated into the body of the fourth daughter of the Changyang Marquis’s household in the Great Jing Dynasty, an unloved concubine-born girl sent far away to marry. Her future husband looked down on her and refused to see her.

So be it if he wouldn’t see her or thought little of her. Her ambitions lay elsewhere, and she had no intention of becoming a caged songbird, kept for display within four walls.

But her peaceful days didn’t last. The circumstances surrounding her concubine mother’s death were shrouded in mystery, and her cold-hearted birth father fueled her hatred. Determined to exact revenge, she began making her plans, only to discover that a far greater mystery was growing beneath the glittering surface of prosperity.

When she decided to enter the game alone, her cold-faced husband approached her. “My lady, this isn’t the way to do it.”

Lou Yulu: “How do you know it won’t work if you don’t try?”

Tushan Ling: “My lady’s sincerity deeply moves me. Why don’t we make a pact?”

Lou Yulu: “Why?”

Tushan Ling: “Because we share the same goals.”

But one day, jealous Tushan Ling cornered Lou Yulu by the bed and asked reproachfully, “My lady, have you forgotten our pact?”

Lou Yulu: “That’s not what the pact was for.”

Tushan Ling: “I know how resilient and intelligent you are, my lady, and that your sincere heart cannot be swayed. To you, all things in this world are fleeting. Even so, I still want to place everything precious under heaven before you, including myself.”
