[Historical Romance and Household Intrigue + A Powerful Couple + Face-Slapping the Scum + Marriage Before Love]

[A seemingly refined and courteous heroine who is actually cunning and calculating x A seemingly flirtatious, sharp-tongued hero who is actually purehearted, easily flustered, and hopelessly in love]

In her previous life, Yun Ji was forced to marry into an earl’s household. Her mother-in-law tormented her, her husband treated her with cold indifference, and her cousin poisoned her. Even her young brother died at the hands of bandits.

Reborn on the day her marriage was forced upon her, she swore to tear apart this wretched match and sever the ill-fated bond with her own hands!

In this life, she holds the Marquis’s household authority, crushes her treacherous relatives, protects her young brother as he reclaims his title, and grinds everyone who harmed her in her past life into the dirt.

The noble ladies of the capital all praise Yun Ji, the eldest legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Weiyuan, for her dignity and composure. Only the proud and rakish young duke corners her against a wall, eyes red: “Miss Yun, you’re so heartless. When you had your way with me on that short night of passion, why didn’t you say we weren’t suited to each other?”

Later, the entire capital sees the usually arrogant young duke arrive with a fortune in tow to ask for her hand. “You’re the orphaned daughter of a military family, and I’m a rakish duke. We’re made to be partners in crime. Name your price, my lady: how much dowry will it take for me to marry into your family?”
