(The author takes a while to warm up. The romance develops gradually, and the plot unfolds at an unhurried pace. If that’s not for you, don’t read.)
Jiang Youqi worked herself to death from overtime. When she opened her eyes, she had become the wife of the Marquis of Jingyuan, who had just tried to elope with another man and failed.
The good news was that her husband had gone south to investigate a case the very next day. He wouldn’t be back for six to ten months!
The bad news was that she’d been confined to the estate, couldn’t even leave through its front gate, and had lost all her jewelry and banknotes in the lake!
She’d been stripped of control over the household finances. Her mother-in-law was selfish and impossible, her son was a spoiled brat, and her husband’s former flame kept provoking her and cutting her meals.
Jiang Youqi had had enough. If so, she’d just have to make money! Big money!
What did she care about being the marquis’s wife, or having a son or a husband? She wanted none of it!
The unluckiest thing that ever happened to Marquis Jingyuan Mu Chuwang was being noticed by Jiang Youqi, the orphan from the general’s residence who was beautiful but wicked at heart.
He despised her and kept his distance. He didn’t even know when their child was born!
When he returned to the capital, the shrew had changed her ways.
She said, “Neither of us wanted this marriage. Let’s divorce.”
What the hell was she talking about? Who had begged His Majesty to arrange the marriage in the first place?
Lu Yunzhou, a handsome and elegant Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, planned to whisk Jiang Youqi away to his own residence once she divorced.
With danger mounting under the cover of night, Mu Chuwang challenged Lu Yunzhou to settle things on Baoyue Bridge!
“How shameless of a dignified Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review to covet my wife!”
“And a dignified Marquis of Jingyuan dares to have his eye on another woman while he’s already got one? Dream on!”
Jiang Youqi secretly watched the showdown between the two men from her hiding place.
She couldn’t handle this sort of historical-romance heroine treatment. She’d rather shine on her own!
