Her legitimate elder sister is reborn and throws a tantrum to avoid marrying into the “fiery pit” that is the Marquis’s household. Then she turns around and shoves her transmigrated half-sister, Sheng Mimi, in to take her place!
A lonely life? A house so poor it has nothing? Insolent servants? Sheng Mimi smirks: Perfect, now she has room to build a business!
She whips the dilapidated marquis’s estate into shape with one hand and builds a business empire with the other. She piles up mountains of gold and silver, and even picks up a genius little one to raise into the brightest star in the capital!
Just as life is going swimmingly, her supposedly “favoring concubines over his wife” husband finally returns from wherever he disappeared to. He! Brings! His! Beloved! Concubine! Home!
Xie Heng looks down at her coldly. “A lowly merchant woman, how dare you take the place of my principal wife?”
His delicate concubine, Liu Ruyan, sways like a willow in the breeze. “Sister, please, let me have him...”
Sheng Mimi wraps an arm around her little one, gazes at the gold and silver filling her storerooms, and calmly pulls out a document.
“My lord, blindness is an illness. You should get it treated. Sign this divorce, will you? Don’t keep me from taking my little one and my mountains of gold to marry a decent man.”
Very good. The heroine is strong and supports the Hou family. When will the hero come home??
