On the day she married into the Marquis’s household, her vicious mother-in-law made her kneel in the ancestral shrine.
Her family had fallen into ruin, she was the daughter of a convicted minister, and her paltry dowry had made the Marquis’s household the laughingstock of the capital.
Everyone bet she wouldn’t last three months.
But then…
When a concubine faked a pregnancy, she had her confined.
When the second branch embezzled family property, she drove them out of the Marquis’s household.
Even the side consort sent by the Empress Dowager ended up scurrying back to the palace in disgrace.
Her vicious mother-in-law personally pressed the storeroom keys into her hand. “My dear daughter-in-law, from now on, you’re in charge of this household!”
Her easygoing husband turned into a fiercely protective wife-doting maniac. “If anyone dares pick on my wife again, I’ll tear down their ancestral shrine!”
But they didn’t know that she had never married into the Marquis’s household to be a dutiful wife and raise children…
[One true pairing + marriage first, love later + mother-in-law and daughter-in-law join forces + satisfying revenge + play the pig to eat the tiger + household intrigue and political schemes]
It's okay, I enjoyed watching it
It's very good-looking and antique. The female protagonist doesn't have a golden finger but her relationship with the male protagonist slowly advances. It's more down-to-earth. The female protagonist is also very smart and tough. Looking forward to spreading sugar with Persimmon in the future
