Reborn: The Legitimate Son of a Marquis's House on the Road to Success

The main story is complete.

She was minding her own business in the library when a spaceship crashed into her life.

Fortunately, the culprit didn't flee. Though they couldn't bring her back to life, they gave her enough compensation.

She can only transmigrate to ancient times? Then she'd rather be a man. She doesn't want to spend her whole life shut away in the back courtyard.

She can choose her own identity? The royal family is full of dangerous infighting. Better to be born into a marquis's household: just as wealthy, but much less risky.

Not the eldest branch, either. That's just as dangerous. Being a contented slacker sounds great.

And not a concubine-born child. They have no rights and are discriminated against.

She'd better be rich, too, so she can have everything she needs and spend her whole life doing nothing.

At last, she's made her choice. Here she comes, ancient times!

Uh, what the heck? It is a marquis's household, but she's a total nobody in it.

She is the legitimate child, sure, but her father favors his concubine-born son.

She is wealthy, sure, but her maternal family are imperial merchants, and merchants have low status.

Weren't she supposed to be a contented slacker who could cling to powerful allies? How did she somehow work her way up to become a renowned chancellor?

Blurb: When Sheng Yuewei realizes she's reborn, she's perfectly calm.

Just as she was when she first transmigrated in her previous life and discovered she'd landed in a tragic romance novel packed with melodrama, absurd twists, and a Mary Sue heroine.

Of course, that may be because she wasn't the protagonist.

As the heroine's cousin, she watches like a bystander, following her cousin's tangled affairs with a domineering prince, a cold-faced general, a gentle top scholar, and an aloof genius physician. In the end, her cousin becomes empress, gives birth to the crown prince, and reaches the pinnacle of life.

Aside from being unlucky enough to marry the top scholar, who remains deeply devoted to her, after her cousin becomes empress, Sheng Yuewei actually lives a pretty carefree life, though the two of them are as cold as ice toward each other.

Given another chance, Sheng Yuewei still has no plans to make something of herself. Being a contented slacker is great. At worst, she'll marry early or become a Taoist nun, and keep her distance from the male leads.

Wait, why have all the male leads come to their senses? Cousin, does your irresistible charm have an expiration date?

I don't mind if you don't like my cousin. But what is this, taking it out on the Sheng family? What did we do to deserve your resentment?

Hmph. I'd better teach you a lesson before you decide the Sheng family is easy to bully.
