In her previous life, Meng Qingyu was driven out of the marquis's household with a letter of divorce and cast into the streets, where she suffered every hardship imaginable.
She gritted her teeth and persevered, building a business from nothing and single-handedly earning a fortune that spanned half the city. She became the wealthiest woman in the capital, praised by all.
When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the night of her wedding, just after marrying into the marquis's household.
This time, as a woman of the marquis's household, she couldn't conduct business openly. So she used the private funds her mother had left her as capital and quietly planned her ventures.
Renting out menstrual cloths, collecting discarded goods, improving women's undergarments, making decorative hair flowers and wigs, blending fragrances, crafting bath beans for women's chambers... She slowly built up her wealth.
Of course, she would make sure those who had bullied her in her previous life didn't get off lightly, either.
Silver was her armor. Protecting her mother and securing a divorce were her only hopes.
As for men, she could do without them.
Cheng Zhao also returned with painful memories of his previous life.
He had borne the burden of the marquis's household, betting on Prince Rui in the struggle for the throne. But all he got in return was a tarnished reputation, and in the end his family was confiscated and he was exiled. He died full of resentment.
Reborn, he wanted no part of the murky struggle for the throne. Wealth, power, and the rise and fall of the marquis's household could no longer bind him.
He only wanted to uncover the truth behind his first wife's life and death, and find out who had caused the marquis's household to fall.
As the truth came to light, Cheng Zhao gradually saw Meng Qingyu's true nature. But she still remembered the pain of being divorced in her previous life and remained on guard against him.
When the conspiracy is exposed and their misunderstandings are cleared up, will these two hearts, weathered by hardship, finally find their way to each other?
