Only after Pei Xilan died did she learn that her husband had been carrying on with a distant relative. He was eager to make that woman his legal wife, leave all the family fortune to her son, and even planned to send his own daughter away for human experimentation.
Pei Xilan was literally angered to death, but Heaven had mercy and sent her back to the past!
Given another life, she slapped divorce papers in the scoundrel's face. “We're divorcing! If you won't agree, you're my grandson!”
Everyone waited for her to make a fool of herself. Instead, she thrived in business, and the wives of the city's elite rushed to curry favor with her.
A certain aloof warlord came seeking an audience, only to be turned away at the door.
Pei Xilan declared, “Sorry, I only care about making money!”
The warlord came right back at her. “I'm loaded. Make money off me!”
Pei Xilan raised an eyebrow. “Whatever happened to your aloof persona?”
The man swept her into his arms. “I'm about to lose my wife. Who cares about being aloof?”
From then on, people all over town talked about how the woman who had once been abandoned had not only built a successful career, but also had a warlord chasing after her and refusing to give up.
When will we make peace?
