[Reborn into household intrigue + punishing scoundrels and face-slapping + love that grows over time + sweet romance]
[Play-the-pig-to-eat-the-tiger, clearheaded and charming mistress of the household VS restrained, ascetic Buddhist heir]
In her previous life, Shen Ruyan and her legitimate younger sister both married into the marquis's household. Shen Ruyan married an ambitious son born of a concubine, while her sister married the heir, who devoted himself to Buddhist vegetarianism and prayer.
For ten years, Shen Ruyan helped Lu Han rise to the position of chief minister, only for him to dote on his concubine, neglect his wife, and plot to murder her for her money.
Meanwhile, her sister kept tempting the Buddhist heir to break his vows. The heir, who had still retained a trace of attachment to the mortal world, was so frightened that he shaved his head and became a monk that very night.
In this life, both sisters are reborn. Her younger sister acts first, stealing Shen Ruyan's “good match” and setting her sights on becoming the chief minister's wife.
Smiling, Shen Ruyan agrees to switch betrothals with her sister, then turns around and marries the marquis's heir, who spends his days beside the Buddha, burning incense and tending the lamps.
She will use her status as the heir's wife to settle accounts with everyone in the marquis's household who plotted against her in her previous life!
And she'll make sure her sister sees clearly: the man she stole was the one Shen Ruyan didn't want!
Everyone laughs at Shen Ruyan for being a wife in name only. But who could have guessed that the compassionate Buddhist heir would break the precepts time and again for her...
It turns out that she was always the one who was destined to be with me in this life.
Good-looking, good-looking, really good-looking
