Su Ying was a timid concubine-born daughter of a great general. Three years ago, she married the scoundrel Li Mu of the Cheng'en Marquis household. Three years later, after realizing that the emperor distrusted Su Ying's family, Li Mu promptly made up an excuse to divorce her and beat her to death during their argument.
I transmigrated into her body and accepted the System's survival requirement: marry the person destined for me and have children. Determined to fight the Cheng'en Marquis household to the death, I argued my case and finally divorced Li Mu.
For the sake of survival, I thought of my father and unborn brother, who had been sent to guard the border and were now isolated and under suspicion. I slapped my enemies on both sides of the face while working hard to find ways to make money. Most importantly, I had to identify the so-called destined man among a crowd of exceptionally handsome young men.
The first man I met, Jin Duanli, was a jade-like gentleman as beautiful as an immortal, but he was a powerful noble's page. I drooled over him and planned to win him over slowly.

The third was Prince Jing, Gu Yunyin. He seemed to do nothing but chase cats and dogs, but in truth he was ruthless, calculating, and utterly devious. I had no wish to get involved with him, but my abilities caught his attention.
I thought I would become the pretty wife who earned money to support Jin Duanli, or the Princess Consort Jing whom Prince Jing would have no choice but to marry with full ceremony. But I never imagined that, by a twist of fate, I would become the legitimate wife Gongsun Qi of the prime minister's household had married with a formal betrothal and a lavish procession stretching ten miles...
