A Substitute Bride? I Took My Gossip-Loving Husband and Baby to Slay Our Way Through

In her previous life, her younger female cousin died a tragic death. After being reborn, she thought she had the story all figured out. She decisively stole the Third Prince’s betrothal, certain that he would one day ascend the throne, then schemed to marry Shen Qinglan off to the capital’s number-one playboy and good-for-nothing, the Ninth Prince, Pei Si.

She waits to watch Shen Qinglan become the wicked stepmother to a three-and-a-half-year-old illegitimate child, tormented by the little brat until her whole family is executed.

Shen Qinglan smirks as she takes her cousin’s place, but on her wedding night, everything takes an unexpected turn! She awakens the ability to read minds!

Her husband, supposedly an ignorant wastrel, has gossip in his head so loud it practically deafens her:

[Earth-shattering gossip! The Third Prince got drunk and spent last night in a courtesan’s bed, and he caught the clap! Wife, look at me! I want so badly to share this juicy gossip with you!]

The three-and-a-half-year-old toddler clings to her leg, begging for cuddles, while shrieking in his mind:

[Foolish mortal! I am a demon god who has lived for ninety thousand years! Tomorrow, the old emperor will frame Grandpa for rebellion, and the whole family will be executed. Should I help this cheap mother of mine out?]
