The Wrong Marriage for the Legitimate Daughter: The Ailing Minister's Beloved

[Revenge After Rebirth] [Marriage First, Love Later] [Two Powerful Leads and Political Scheming]

Jiang Lingyuan has been reborn.

In her previous life, she married into the Changping Earl's Estate full of joy, only for her betrothed, Zhao Heng, to force her to drink poisoned wine on their wedding night. Her dear younger sister stepped on her hand and watched her die with a smile. "So what if you were the legitimate daughter of a marquis?"

When she opened her eyes again, she was sitting in a bridal sedan on her way to the Zhao Estate.

This time, Jiang Lingyuan lifted the curtain and changed her marriage in the middle of the street.

She knelt before the bridal sedan of Prince Jing'an, Xiao Linyuan. "I am willing to marry Your Highness. I beg His Majesty to grant my request."

The capital erupted in an uproar.

Everyone said the legitimate daughter of the Yongning Marquis's Estate had gone mad. She could have been a perfectly respectable heir's wife, yet insisted on marrying that deathly ill living fiend.

But Jiang Lingyuan knew Xiao Linyuan wasn't a cripple.

He was a tiger lying in wait, the true power wielding the knife in court.

And he was the powerful ally she had chosen.

On their wedding night, Xiao Linyuan lifted her veil, his voice cool and clear. "What do you want?"

Jiang Lingyuan looked up at him and said, each word deliberate, "I want to borrow Your Highness's power to avenge myself. Once it's done, we owe each other nothing."

The man gazed down at her for a long while, then suddenly smiled.

"Good."

But later...

Her revenge was complete, her hatred gone, and Jiang Lingyuan handed him a divorce letter, ready to leave.

Xiao Linyuan threw the letter into the brazier, then pinned her against the wall. His eyes reddened. "You want to leave? Did I give you permission?"
