After Taking My Half-Sister’s Place as the Lucky Bride, I Became the Marquis’s True Mistress

On the night she was sent to bring good fortune to her elder sister, Shen Zhiwei married a young marquis heir who was supposedly on the brink of death.

But on her very first night in his household, she discovered that he was faking his illness, his late mother had not died of sickness, and even this marriage in her sister’s place was part of a deadly trap laid in advance.

Her stepmother wanted her dead, the marquis’s household treated her like a chess piece, and the palace wanted to use her to bury an old case.

If they all wanted her to rot in the mud, then she would use the secrets of the Shen family, the marquis’s household, and the imperial palace to take control of the family, reopen the case, and reclaim her life.
