I Married the Short-Lived Marquis Instead, and the Whole Capital Is Waiting for Me to Become a Widow!

Su Yingwan transmigrates into the life of the neglected third daughter of the Su family in the capital, with her wedding just around the corner.

Her reborn cousin, Su Yingxue, joins forces with their grandmother to force a switch of betrothed, stealing Su Yingwan's promising match with a Hanlin scholar and saddling her with a man rumored to be doomed to an early death.

Xie Linyuan, Marquis of Zhenyuan: a widower, frail, and not expected to live more than three years.

The whole capital waits to watch her become a widow.

Su Yingwan: No in-laws to serve, no children to bear, and after I'm widowed, I'll have a fortune at my disposal. I'll take this marriage.

Who could have guessed that the man supposedly on his deathbed could solve cases across the land with a few strokes of his brush, reshape the court with a wave of his hand, and inspire the officials to tremble before him like they were facing the King of Hell?

Meanwhile, he spoils her until she can do whatever she pleases.

Her reborn cousin is sick with regret: He definitely died in my previous life!

Xie Linyuan pulls her into his arms and says calmly, “You saved my life, my dear. I'm the one who should repay you with my hand in marriage.”
