The Duchess's Daily Face-Slapping

Qi Yuan thought she had the worst luck in the world!

In her previous life, she was formidable and arrogant, and met a bad end. After finally getting another chance at life, she planned to keep her head down and behave. But the kind-hearted get pushed around. In the blink of an eye, she was shoved into a bridal sedan to marry in her cousin's place, and wed to a frail duke who had spent his days living with a coffin at his side.

Before she could even settle in, her unlucky husband, who hadn't even consummated the marriage with her, was gone. On his deathbed, he still made sure to entrust his children to her, saddling her with a whole pack of burdens.

Looking at her handsome young brother-in-law, who was as beautiful as an immortal in a painting, Qi Yuan felt what little conscience she had left, rubbed raw over the years, then wiped her face. She couldn't be so heartless as to watch her husband's family be ruined!

So, to protect the Duke's household, Qi Yuan shed the soft, easy-to-bully persona she'd worn for years and began taking charge of everything.
