Once I’ve Earned 100,000 Taels, I’ll Divorce the Chief Minister

[Faked death + substitute/false debt of gratitude + two powerful leads + chasing his wife to the crematorium]

Shen Ye, a top modern-day sniper, transmigrates into the Great Yi dynasty as a canary kept in Jiangnan by Pei Xuan, the current Grand Secretary.

The original owner is stupid and vicious, pretending to be the childhood savior who once saved Pei Xuan’s life. Day after day she acts coy and affected, hoping to push aside his legal wife and take her place.

Looking at her head full of jewelry and the cold, disgusted look on the powerful official’s face, Shen Ye simply takes off her hair ornaments.

“My lord, rest assured. I’ll behave and keep to myself. All I ask is enough to eat.”

She changes her ways, no longer fighting for his attention. By day, she quietly embroiders (in reality, sharpening her knives); at night, she stays behind closed doors. She waits only for the day Pei Xuan marries his legal wife, when she can take her saved-up banknotes and disappear.

However, when the true savior appears, Shen Ye leaves behind a letter of divorce and a charred fake corpse, then vanishes without a trace.

Three years later, on the frontier battlefield, a mysterious female demon feared by all is surrounded by enemy troops.

But the ever-strategic Grand Secretary leads a hundred thousand cavalry across the desert sands and kneels before her, his voice trembling uncontrollably. “Yeye, come home with me.”
