She was the eldest legitimate daughter of a duke's mansion. Her mother was the lady of the house, a woman whose word was law, and she had two full-blooded elder brothers. In other words, she could do as she pleased in that household, and no one would dare stop her.
It was said that, given her family's standing, the pearl crown bestowed by the palace on her coming-of-age day would certainly feature a prized eastern pearl. She would marry into either a family of dukes and marquises or the imperial clan and its honored nobles. She had no need to compete with a concubine-born sister for a respectable husband, nor to fight with a sister-in-law for control of the household. She was born to be a principal wife.
Once married, as a principal wife and a daughter-in-law whom her father-in-law had chosen from countless candidates and groomed to become the future matriarch of the clan, she would deserve everyone's gratitude if she simply refrained from causing trouble for them.
If you think that means she has nothing to do, you're wrong.
Because... she has to fight all kinds of men. According to an incomplete tally, her opponents include her husband's father, his uncles, his brothers, and all his advisers and officials... Lose, and the entire family will be executed.
What kind of transmigration god had to be out of his mind to come up with this?!
Lin Mianmian, or rather, Ling Ceng'an now, silently flipped that god the middle finger in her heart.
