After I Became His Substitute Bride, I Learned the Marquis's Reputation for Killing His Wives Was False

Lin Xiaoyu, an HR director at a modern company, wakes up one morning as a substitute bride in an ancient marquis's household.

Her groom, Xiao Yan, the Marquis of Zhenbei, is a celebrated war hero, but three of his former fiancées have died, and no one in the capital dares marry him.

Lin Xiaoyu doesn't mind. She only wants to examine the account books and find a way to transmigrate back to her own time.

But the ledger she casually opens turns out to implicate the Noble Consort, the Grand Tutor's household, and a corruption scandal big enough to topple the court.

Xiao Yan steps in front of her coldly. “The ledgers aren't something you should be meddling with.”

Lin Xiaoyu slaps a divorce letter on the table. “Funny, I wasn't planning to stay long anyway.”

But three days later, when she's actually ready to leave...

Xiao Yan blocks the doorway. “Lin Xiaoyu, you're never going back.”
