Having seen the ugly spectacle of the concubines in her household vying for attention and favor, all she wanted was to move out of the grand residence and live a quiet life in the mountains with her younger brother, the only family she had left: eating well, sleeping soundly, and passing the time with birds and flowers.
But one imperial decree from the old fox sent her into the deep, treacherous household of a marquis, tying her to Prince Ning, a man of noble bearing who seemed almost heavenly, while she was regarded by everyone else as ugly as Zhong Wuyan, fierce, and ill-tempered. She was unwilling, but she could not disobey the emperor.
So on her wedding night, she turned the situation to her advantage and went from a joyous bride to a pitiful discarded wife... She had never intended to become truly involved with the prince, but fate seemed determined to thwart her...
The heroine is half scheming, and bears the bad reputation of being fierce and ill-tempered. Sometimes she plays the fool to outwit the clever, and sometimes she uses her wits to spar with the concubines who try to walk all over her. All in all, she leads a pretty carefree life.

Blurb:
Years ago, when she was six, her tiny body was wrapped in white mourning clothes as she knelt before her mother's cold grave and swore: One day, she would repay tenfold the humiliation they had suffered.
Twelve years later, she began plotting and laying her plans, step by step, repaying every bit of the humiliation she had suffered back then. And naturally, she would collect interest as well.
The heroine is no saint. Calm, intelligent, and composed, she is not to be trifled with: when she strikes, she strikes hard.
She hides sharp edges behind an air of indifference; seduces all around her with her cunning; and schemes behind a sweet smile.
Her grace and generosity are a facade, and playing the fool to outwit the clever is her specialty.
Along with romance, this story features plenty of business rivalries, household intrigue, and farming. Readers who dislike such content should proceed with caution.
But if you love heroines with unusual personalities, don't miss this one!

Author's Note:
Why are some chapters locked? I'm not happy.
This extra episode is a little disappointing, as I said before, nothing special.
I like this ending. The cat is a bad person to begin with, so I hope that the emotion will last forever, even if I am alone for a lifetime, even if my life is very long...
Such a good Yang Yuchen~~~should be matched with another very beautiful and beautiful woman
Poor people must have something to hate about them
The poor baby spent his life in such depression. . . . .
The person that the old 2 hired to accompany her seemed to be the heroine who had been cheating on her in a time-travelling way.
Chenchen is so pitiful~~~~No, no, no
I hate it so much. I don't want San to be so pitiful. . . . Ah. .
``Speaking of which, is there a companion chapter to this article? There seem to be a lot of time-travelers
