(Palace and household intrigue + marquis’s household matriarch + male lead steals her away + second male lead suffers for chasing his wife + feel-good revenge + raising children + face-slapping and punishing villains)
Just after getting married, You Jing is pawned by her in-laws as a bargaining chip, given as a concubine to the heir of a marquis’s house who died in battle.
A month earlier, an accident had cost her her virtue with the heir, and she had become pregnant with his posthumous child.
You Jing cannot understand it. Before the wedding, her husband and mother-in-law both said they did not mind. She even spent her entire fortune on her husband’s family. So why has she ended up like this?
The marquis’s household is full of danger.
The Marchioness cares only about the child and knows exactly how to exploit You Jing’s weakness. Is she planning to kill the mother and keep the child?
“The child is the only value you have. If you can’t guarantee a safe delivery, I will never spare the You family.”
Her relatives have their own hidden agendas, while the second branch of the family uses ruthless tactics. They all want her gone.
You Jing knows she can only rely on herself if she wants to survive.
So she takes up the mechanical arts she had long since abandoned and uses her maternal grandfather’s incense business to open doors.
She wins the Marchioness’s favor, face-slaps her detestable, parasitic mother-in-law, divorces her former husband, who is full of filial piety and scholarly learning but has no regard for their past, and thwarts the second branch’s sinister plans.
Step by step, she gains a foothold and takes control of the household finances.
Just when she thinks things are finally going to get better, after ten grueling months, she gives birth to a stillborn child...
I'm speechless. I'm so good at writing. How come I'm so good at writing. The emotional relationships between people are written vividly and vividly. Every positive character is appropriately drawn. Whether it is the development of the relationship between Ah Jing and her servants, the mutual fight between the mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law, or the comradeship between Brother Ah and the Crown Prince, including the relationship between the two protagonists, they are all written so well, and the house fighting part is also good. Sister Bao is really a tough and prickly rose. She knows people well and is resourceful. She will hit the target with one strike and never suffer from internal friction. I like it so much.
It's nice. I've been tired of reading too many routines recently. I haven't found a book that suits my liking for a long time.
This book is well written, and I like to read each link.
There are so few reviews for such a beautiful book. It's such a pity that Cuizhu and the others died 🥺 Come on, it's so beautiful!!!
Recommend! The plot is not cliché, and the heroine's slap in the face is straightforward, but the hero comes back a little late and secretly teases her to please her 🤭
So pretty! The male protagonist shows up late, and the female protagonist fights on her own! Don't depend on men!
There are house fights, powerful strategies, dust in the fireworks, and the righteousness of family and country.
Very, very, very beautiful
Good, good, good, really good
