Gu Qingyi: A transmigrated concubine-born daughter with a razor-sharp tongue, set on making money and getting away from the Gu family as soon as possible.
Lu Yizhi: A hereditary marquis, an easygoing wastrel who loves getting roasted. The harsher his wife is, the more he loves her.
Her scumbag father, legal mother, and legitimate sister take turns stirring up trouble? She takes them all on and lets none of them off the hook.
She only wants to make money and start a life of her own. But one careless remark leaves Lu Yizhi, the young master of the marquis’s household, in tears!
The very next moment, the old madam of the marquis’s household arrives with a generous offer, hoping to marry her into the family as her grandson’s wife and future mistress of the household.
Gu Qingyi’s eyes light up. Money? Power? A chance to put the villains in their place? And she gets to call the shots? I’m in!
Married life: The young marquis turns red-eyed and says pitifully, “You’re being mean to me…” Gu Qingyi gives him a cool glance. “What are you crying for? Keep it up and I’ll roast you again.”
But in private, she has to admit: Lu Yizhi is just far too handsome. When his eyes turn red, he looks especially adorable.
Later, the young marquis sneaks off to complain to his grandmother: “Grandmother, the wife you found me lets me look but won’t let me touch…”
The old madam doesn’t even look up. “She’s your wife. Go sweet-talk her yourself.”
Once an idle wastrel, the young marquis turns into an affectionate, devoted puppy after marriage. The harsher she is, the more he loves her.
A concubine-born daughter rises to power, household rivalries and villain-bashing, a marquis who dotes on his wife: sweet, satisfying, and full of excitement, with no frustrating angst!
