[Historical transmigration | Concubine's daughter in a substitute marriage | Villainous husband | Household intrigue and a comeback]
Office worker Zhu Yin died suddenly and transmigrated into the miserable life of a marquis's concubine-born daughter. The moment she opened her eyes, her principal wife stepmother beat her until she bled, then ordered her to take her elder sister's place and marry into a disgraced official's family to await death.
The original owner had refused and been beaten to death. Zhu Yin got the message: stay alive first! She pretended to agree to the marriage and kept her true abilities hidden.
She thought marrying into the Gu family would be like entering hell. But though her disgraced official husband, Gu Yun, seemed cold and severe, he protected her fiercely:
“Want to run? The marriage decree came from the emperor. You're mine and mine alone.”
From a concubine-born daughter at everyone's mercy to the apple of the villain's eye, she used her brains to turn the tables and make a winning hand out of the worst cards!
Who says a frail concubine-born daughter has to accept her fate? She'll marry the villain and lie flat her way to a winning life!
