The Marquis's Manor Demoted His Wife to a Concubine? She Marries a Eunuch Minister and Slaughters Her Way to Victory

In her previous life, Shen Tang was a wealthy merchant’s daughter who married into a marquis’s household with a fortune in tow, only for her husband to die suddenly on their wedding night.

She mourned him for five years, only for him to return with the widow and children of his sworn brother, who had died in battle.

The marquis’s household coveted her dowry and bullied her at every turn, even going so far as to send her to be abused by Xie Weizhi, a sickly, treacherous minister with power over the entire court.

In the end, they cut the twins from her womb and turned her into a human stump. She could only watch as the marquis’s household lived off her fortune and paved the way for the widow to rise to the highest position in the land.

Only as she lay dying did Shen Tang awaken to the truth: she was merely the villainess in a storybook, a sacrifice meant to clear the heroine’s path to greatness.

Reborn, Shen Tang swore to avenge herself, steal the heroine’s fortune, and become the leading lady of her own story.

So she broke character, secretly kept a lover, and got pregnant by him.

But after escaping the marquis’s household and striking out on her own, her live-in lover transformed into Xie Weizhi, the man she had once forced into a passionate relationship.

She was imprisoned in a cage once more, entangled with him day after day. “Sister, you’ve been playing with this prime minister for so long. How can you just run away from our wedding?”
