Ode to the Returning Luan

[Historical Romance + Household Intrigue + Business Rivalries + Palace Intrigue | One-on-One Romance | Both Pure and Faithful | Happy Ending]

Her half-sister was pregnant out of wedlock, yet the imperial decree fell upon Jiang Lingyi, the capital’s most noble young lady. A carefully laid plot sent her tumbling from the clouds. Her father’s concubine forced her into the Marquis’s household to marry its dissolute young heir. After the wedding, her mother-in-law tormented her and her husband behaved outrageously. Everyone was waiting to watch her sink into the mud. But she refused to give them the satisfaction. She kicked her worthless husband to the curb, outwitted her mother-in-law, and left with a divorce agreement in hand. Taking her enormous dowry with her, she reopened her trade routes. From a single shop on the outskirts of the capital, she went on to reshape the entire business world. Then the scheming Prince Lu Chenzhou, who held power over the entire court, stopped her. “You dared to get a divorce. Do you dare to rebel?” As princes fought for the throne, she handed them the blade; as the harem tore itself apart, she moved the pieces on the board. Everyone thought she was merely a pawn, never realizing that the hand moving the pieces had belonged to her all along.
