[A drama-loving, money-hungry little fox] VS [A scheming, doting, shadow emperor]
I thought I was struggling to survive and escape, but my husband hears my inner thoughts every day and takes me on a rampage.
Oh no, I’ve become the capital’s biggest source of gossip and secrets.
Shen Ying is reborn.
Determined to become the wife of the first-rank Grand Secretary, she schemes to switch marriages with her half-sister, Shen Wan, stealing Pei Yushu, the future powerbroker, and foisting the Marquis’s sickly son, Xie Jingci, who won’t live past three chapters, onto Shen Wan.
Shen Wan smugly waits for her half-sister to become a widow and follow her husband to the grave.
But Shen Ying, who transmigrated here and knows the original story inside out, can only think: What a deal!
She knows that the so-called “Grand Secretary” her elder sister stole is a truly awful man who not only embezzles public funds to keep Yangzhou courtesans, but is also infertile and has been cuckolded!
And the marquis’s household, where her sickly husband lives, is about to be dragged down by the main branch and executed to the last person!
So, on their wedding night...
Shen Ying politely serves tea, her eyes reddening as she plays the virtuous wife. “Have your medicine, husband.”
But inside, she’s ranting: [My husband is so handsome, but he’s doomed to die young. The fake victory report about the main branch murdering innocents for credit is about to arrive in the capital and get the whole family killed. I need to map out the marquis’s storerooms and steal as many gold bars as I can before I run!]
