[Palace and Household Intrigue + Unhinged Powerful Official + Fleeing While Pregnant + Reborn + Female-Oriented + Face-Slapping + Conquest]
In her previous life, Jiang Yuanning married Pei Yanzhou, a powerful official who held sway over the court, and spent three years as a wife so lowly she was trampled into the dust.
She managed his household, handled social obligations on his behalf, and even took a knife meant for him.
In return, her cousin moved into the residence as its mistress, the servants sneered at her, and when she was six months pregnant, someone forced her to drink a potion that caused a miscarriage. In the end, she bled to death on a freezing night in the twelfth lunar month.
Only before her death did she discover that the bowl of potion had been brought by the personal maid she trusted most, while Pei Yanzhou drank and made merry in the front hall, unaware that she had been dead for three whole days.
Reborn, Jiang Yuanning opened her eyes on the second day of her marriage.
The child in her womb was still alive, and her enemies were smiling as they offered her tea.
This time, she would protect her child at all costs, and she was done with this household!
She packed her valuables that very night, took the banknotes from her dowry, and climbed over the wall to escape.
But she never expected Pei Yanzhou, who had ignored her in her previous life, to go mad with desperation this time.
Three thousand cavalrymen sealed off the entire city. That powerful man, who held the world in his hands, stood at the city gate with red-rimmed eyes and blocked her path, his voice hoarse. “Jiang Yuanning, run again and see what happens.”
The whole capital said that Chancellor Pei had gone mad.
Only later did they learn that he had not gone mad. After losing her with his own hands in his previous life... he was truly afraid.
The male protagonist has very little ink, and his emotional portrayal is not deep. The plot is dull, the output looks like an assembly line, the writing is rigid, not vivid enough, and not engaging.
