A guide to what to expect: the heroine suffers in the early chapters, the hero suffers in the middle as he desperately tries to win her back, and there are plenty of sweet moments later on.
I, Shen Zhaoxue, was reborn.
In my first life, my husband brought home a co-wife. I swallowed my pride for my daughter's sake, only to watch her die a horrific death and be tormented until I died as well.
In my second life, I came back to the moment he brought home the imperial decree authorizing his co-wife.
This time, I won't put up with it!
He wants me to be virtuous and magnanimous? I braised a hundred-year-old ginseng root and fed it to the dog right in front of him.
His mother wants me to hand over control of the household? I slapped down the real accounts, showing a deficit of 150,000 taels, and dumped the whole mess in her lap.
His scheming co-wife is swaggering around? I've already gathered the evidence of her secret dealings with the Empress Dowager's faction. I just need to wait for the right moment.
Then, on the wedding day, I set the Marquis's manor ablaze and fled to Jiangnan with all my dowry and my precious little one, faking my death!
Xie Heng thought I was dead. He vomited blood three times in front of the ruins, consumed by regret.
Hah. Too late.
When I return to the capital, it will be as an imperial merchant, and I'll personally send him and his entire family to the executioner's block.
Xie Heng: Kneeling in the snow, he begs for forgiveness. “Zhaoxue, I was wrong. Please forgive me!”
Me: “Forgive you? Sure. Go tell my daughter from my first life that yourself, down below.”
