I Refuse to Be Mistreated: I Became the Mistress of the House by Losing My Mind

[Transmigration and a substitute marriage] + [A marriage to bring good fortune] + [Madcap antics] + [Face-slapping satisfaction] + [Sickly, scheming love interest] + [Mutual salvation, both completely unhinged] + [Court intrigue and sweet romance]

Lin Qingyan transmigrates into the body of an unlucky woman forced to marry in her younger sister’s place. Her groom is Gu Jiuyuan, the chief minister of the Great Li Dynasty, who is on the verge of death. The marriage is supposed to bring him good fortune.

Her mother-in-law wants to make her follow a strict set of rules? A procession of scheming concubines is lining up to seduce her husband? The whole family expects her to be buried alive when he dies?

Lin Qingyan spreads her hands. “To hell with all this emotional turmoil. Let’s all go crazy together!”

When her mother-in-law makes things difficult, she throws herself to the ground, twitching and foaming at the mouth. “Mother, you’re trying to kill your daughter-in-law!”

When a concubine puts on a show of weakness, Lin Qingyan kicks her flying. “If you can’t even stand up, then don’t stand for the rest of your life!”

In the middle of the night, anyone who dares provoke her will find her playing the suona outside their courtyard. A rendition of “A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix” will send them straight to their grave.

The whole capital thinks the Gu family has married a lunatic and that they’re doomed. Until one day, the sickly chief minister, who coughs up blood every day and relies on a wheelchair to stay alive, suddenly rises to his feet.

He corners her against the wall, grinning even more madly than she does. “Madam, whose house are you going to play the suona at today? How about I seize the whole realm for you and build you the biggest stage in the land?”
