The Marquis Has No Heirs, So I Married Him to Bring Good Fortune: More Children, More Blessings

[Heirless + blessed with fertility + scheming beauty + wicked heroine + revenge on scoundrels + devoted couple + household intrigue] Shen Yan, a concubine-born daughter of the Yongkang Earl’s household, was blessed with stunning beauty. Her legal mother and elder sister were wary of her, so they sent her away to a country estate. After she came of age, she was brought back to the earl’s residence. Her legal mother wanted her to take her elder sister’s place and marry Chu Heng, the Marquis of Ding’an, who had been wounded on the battlefield and left infertile and unconscious. The marriage was meant to bring him good fortune. On the wedding day, Shen Yan smiled faintly. The marquis was infertile? As luck would have it, her concubine mother had helped her develop a naturally fertile constitution. After the wedding, once she was carrying a child, Chu Heng’s old flame and female confidantes all came calling? Heh. No need to worry. She had beauty and clever schemes of her own, and would secure her place as mistress of the marquis’s household. * The Ding’an Marquis’s family had only one heir per generation. When Chu Heng became infertile, the old madam was so worried that her hair turned white in great swathes. She was deeply displeased when the Yongkang Earl’s household sent a concubine-born daughter to take the bride’s place, and held Shen Yan in low regard. That was until Shen Yan’s belly swelled again and again. The old madam was practically grinning from ear to ear. Shen Yan was the marquis’s household’s lucky star. Spoil her, spoil her rotten! Later, watching the five little rascals who had nearly torn her courtyard apart, the old madam slapped her thigh. “Stop having babies, please! This old woman can’t take it anymore!”
