His Fake Benefactor Wants a Divorce, but the Heir Refuses to Let Her Go

[Historical romance + reborn + marriage before love + clear-eyed heroine + lighthearted comedy + satisfying comeuppance]

Shen Yuan died a pathetic death in her previous life. She pretended to be the person who saved the heir of the Duke of Pei, deceiving him into doting on her for three years. When the real savior returned, she was cast aside and drowned in a pond, meeting her end.

When she opened her eyes again, she was back in the year before her lie was exposed.

This time, she was clear-headed: staying alive and making money came first. Whoever wanted to be this sorry heir's wife could have the job!

While other women fought for favor in the household, she frantically hoarded wealth. While they fawned over their mothers-in-law, she stuffed the storeroom's contents into her own luggage. While they schemed for the position of principal wife, she figured out the fastest route out of the city.

All she wanted was to save enough money to divorce Pei Yan and run before he discovered the truth, while making room for the real savior.

But the more she tried to leave, the stranger the heir became. This powerful, cold, and merciless man refused to divorce her, and even started handing her land deeds, shops, and estates!

Then, one night, she tried to sneak out of the city with gold bars on her back, only to be stopped at the city gate by the Black Armored Guards.

Pei Yan looked down at her, obsession roiling in his eyes. “You went to all that trouble to deceive me, and now you want to run after getting me hooked? Shen Yuan, you’ll never get off this boat for as long as you live.”

Shen Yuan: ...I really just want to make money!!!
