Lady Meng

Update paused.

The regent has a favored concubine known as Meng Ji.

Meng Ji brings ruin to the country, whispers slander, consorts with villains, wrongfully executes loyal officials, and commits every kind of evil. In the end, she dies by the emperor's sword.

Meng Wan transmigrates into the story and bursts into tears.

Damn it, I'm going to die without a proper burial sooner or later!

To save her life, she gathers her courage and nervously asks the regent for permission to leave his residence.

Rumor has it the regent is refined, gentle, and upright. At that moment, he smiles warmly, the very picture of a noble gentleman.

Unfortunately, his words are terrifying: "You can either die or stay. Choose one."

Meng Wan bursts into tears.

Isn't that the same as dying either way? You can't bully me like this!

The regent has been quite troubled lately.

His dignified, virtuous wife fell down the steps and hurt her head. Now she thinks she's a concubine, the kind who brings ruin to the country.

To keep her condition stable, the regent has no choice but to play along.

After Marrying a Sickly Man for Good Luck

Wei Lanqing has had a hard life. Her father died, her mother passed away, and her uncle sold her to the Cheng family for two taels of silver so she could bring good luck to the household.

Her husband, Cheng Wei, is sickly, and after three years of illness, even the greatest immortal couldn't save him. His parents saw him as a burden and started arguing over dividing the family on his wedding night.

When Lanqing arrived, she heard her sister-in-law snidely remark, "Fifth brother is frail. If you give him that land, it'll only benefit outsiders!"

Her in-laws said with shameless confidence, "Fifth son, your brother has lots of children, so he should get a bigger share of the family property."

As the "outsider," Lanqing looked at the empty thatched hut, took the capital provided by the System's shop, and set up a little stall at the docks to start a small business.

Later,

Wei Lanqing went from being a street vendor to a wealthy woman known far and wide. The Cheng family eagerly came crawling back, only to be driven out by Cheng Wei, who had passed the imperial examinations and earned the top scholar title.
