Reborn, I Swear I'll Run the General's Household into the Ground

In her previous life, Gu Jinyu was the biggest joke in the capital. The only daughter of Huizhou’s richest man, she married beneath her station to a general. On their wedding night, she was left alone. Three years later, her husband returned with the woman he truly loved and demanded that Gu Jinyu step aside. She refused, so they tore her limb from limb, leaving no intact corpse. Reborn on the day the general brought his “secondary wife” home, she swore: In this life, Gu Jinyu would never give her heart to anyone again. She would use it for revenge. For that, she sought out the most dangerous man in the capital: the powerful minister Wei Tingjun. They sealed a pact in blood: she would be his hidden blade in business, and he would be the edge of her blade of revenge. They were merely allies, each getting what they needed. What did feelings have to do with it? But later, he broke down the door and defied the rules when she was in danger. When she fell apart, he held her tightly without saying a word. On the night he was granted an arranged marriage, he chased after her carriage and asked, “You care, don’t you?” She fled back to Huizhou, and he resigned as chief minister and opened a bookshop across from hers. Every day, he brought her a cup of osmanthus wine. He never urged her or asked questions. He simply waited. Until one day, she could no longer hold back and stormed into his bookshop. “Wei Tingjun, what exactly do you want?” He set down his book and looked up at her, his eyes filled with a seriousness she had never seen before. “I’m waiting for you to give me a name.”
