The Legitimate Wife's Handbook

< Every favored concubine has a foolish, cruel principal wife behind her. Behind every true love stands a principal wife whose way of thinking will never match her husband's. Behind every concubine kept by a man as a pet, there is still a strong-willed, competitive principal wife. You could say that the concubines' true love with scummy men is made possible by the principal wives playing their part. The second wife is understanding, considerate, and gentle; the concubine is charming, graceful, and mild-mannered, never fighting for favor. But what about the principal wives and original wives who get turned into cannon fodder? Are they destined to be no more than foils for second wives and concubines, who get to act all sweet and clever, manipulate men, and excel at managing a marriage? When a modern queen of the courtroom transmigrates as a principal wife, she sets out to save principal wives and put an end to every kind of Mary Sue. The point of this story: Long live principal wives and original wives! The heroine is a principal wife. If you sympathize with concubines or side with second wives, please move along! Warning: This story is not intended to reflect on any person or any work. A special note: This is a lighthearted story, and it may be rather silly. I have tried to keep it as true as possible to the customs of ancient times. The dynasty is fictional, but most details have historical models.
