Reborn, I Married a Green Tea Powerbroker

A heroine who wants to slack off but can't & a powerful official who starts out aloof and later turns into a scheming sweetheart

Kind passerby, please add this to your collection. I'm begging you, sob T﹏T.

Song Siyao and her cousin Xie Yuning grew up together. Her cousin lived in their household without her parents, and Song Siyao's mother worried the servants might bully or look down on her, so she favored her in every aspect of daily life.

Even the injury that later left Song Siyao's hand disabled was caused in part by her mother's favoritism.

Fortunately, Song Siyao still had a good marriage prospect. But who could have known that her childhood sweetheart and fiancé, Xu Yanyan, saw her only as a younger sister? The person he loved was her cousin.

In her previous life, Xu Yanyan and her cousin weathered many hardships and eventually became a loving couple. But good people never live long: her cousin died for no apparent reason, clutching an earring Song Siyao had lost. As a result, Song Siyao was punished with house arrest for more than a decade...

Reborn in this life, Song Siyao immediately broke off her engagement to the Xu family. The other women mocked her for it, wondering what sort of marriage a woman with a disabled hand could possibly find.

Everyone waited gleefully to see her meet a miserable end. Yet after all that waiting, they discovered that Song Siyao had married Shen Yi.

The eldest son of the Shen family, who had earned great merit by helping the future emperor seize the throne.

Shen Yi curled a finger and gently tapped his young wife's nose, his voice rising slightly. "You ask why I won't return to my ancestral home?"

He chuckled softly. "...Then wouldn't you have to call me 'big brother' from now on?"

Theme: Live well.
