[Reborn | Substitute Bride | 1v1 | Pure Love | Rekindled Romance]
Jiang Lingyi had her abdomen cut open and her child taken from her. Only before she died did she learn that her beloved husband had treated her as nothing but a baby-making tool, while her dutiful mother-in-law had used her as fodder in the household power struggle. As the whole family celebrated and her half-sister returned, she swallowed her final breath in bitter resentment!
She was reborn in the third year after becoming a substitute bride.
She used to get up before dawn to pay her respects and wait on everyone. This time, she turned over and went back to sleep. She would never serve anyone again!
Before anyone noticed, the beautiful but awkward third daughter-in-law of the Duke's household had changed. In public, she was as meek as a quail; behind the scenes, she stoked trouble and used others to do her dirty work, turning everyone into a weapon.
Her husband, Gu Tingyun? The best revenge was to ruin the reputation and prestige of the Duke's household, the very thing he cared about.
She swore to make everyone who had harmed her in her previous life pay back a thousandfold!

Gu Tingyun had been away from the capital for two years. When he returned, he found his wife had changed.
She had once been virtuous and demure, but now she dressed to turn heads. She used to cling to him and fuss over everything, but now she would not even look at him.
Playing hard to get? He wasn't going to beg her.
A month passed. Why wasn't his wife smiling at him?
Two months passed. Why was she still ignoring him?
Three months passed. His wife pulled out a divorce agreement and slapped it on the table.
His eyes went bloodshot with regret.
