I Just Want to Inherit Your Estate

Ruan Lingfeng had a father who didn't love her, a stepmother who hated her, and a pack of younger siblings who picked on her whenever they had the chance.

After the grandfather who cherished her passed away, her stepmother sent her to become the concubine of a prince who was over sixty. Not long after she was carried through the doors, the princess consort poisoned her to death because she was too beautiful.

After being reborn, Ruan Lingfeng returned to the eve of the day she was to be sent to the prince's manor.

Without a second thought, Ruan Lingfeng packed her bags and prepared to run away.

Who could have guessed that before she got very far, her stepmother would catch her and drag her back, cover her head with a veil, and stuff her into a bridal sedan?

Ruan Lingfeng had already decided to assassinate the prince and get her whole good-for-nothing family, who never did a decent thing, condemned to death along with her.

But when the veil was lifted, the man before her was extraordinarily handsome, and familiar, too.

Wasn't he the cold-faced general from her past life, the one who had been wounded on the battlefield and left impotent?

More importantly, he was about to die in battle and leave behind a huge inheritance!

Ruan Lingfeng: Huh? That sounds pretty good?

After news arrived that Zhao Weiyi had died in battle, Ruan Lingfeng smoothly inherited his estate.

But with such a huge fortune, taking it without having earned it weighed on her conscience.

So she decided to take good care of every member of Zhao Weiyi's family. She managed to win over the entire Zhao family, from their eighty-year-old ancestor to their youngest child, until not one of them could bear to be without her.

But not long afterward, her husband, who was supposed to have died in battle, suddenly returned, carrying the head of an enemy general who had rivaled the emperor. He was made a marquis and appointed to high office, becoming immensely influential. He even secured a noble title for her.

Ruan Lingfeng thanked the gods and her ancestors: Thank you, Ruan family, for sending me this god of wealth!

Everyone in the Ruan family: ???

The first thing Zhao Weiyi did when he returned was ask Ruan Lingfeng for a divorce. On the day he faked his death and secretly returned to the capital, he had clearly seen her wearing mourning clothes in public, then grinning from ear to ear as she pored over the account books for his treasury in private!

But the whole family wailed and refused, shouting that if he divorced her, they'd all leave with Ruan Lingfeng.

Zhao Weiyi's hands shook with anger. "What kind of bewitching potion did she give you?"

Some time later,

Zhao Weiyi: This bewitching potion is delicious!
