The Noblewoman Who Couldn't Take It Easy

Everyone says that Qin Chen, the fourth young master of the Marquis of Wen'an's household, is one of the most distinguished young noblemen in the capital. He's not only talented and handsome, but also highly favored by the emperor. There's nothing to criticize about him, except that he's engaged to a country bumpkin who grew up in the countryside. Jiang Yao heard someone sneer, "A country bumpkin dares to set her sights on General Qin? She's a toad hoping to eat swan meat. Just wait, she'll be cast aside sooner or later!"

The "country bumpkin," Jiang Yao: ...

In her previous life, Jiang Yao was a powerhouse who loved stirring up trouble. She not only made her scumbag father and the stepmother who'd taken over as the legitimate wife leave with nothing, but also sent her half-brother to prison. Later, she even worried that her delicate stepmother had no one to rely on and helped her find another husband. Sadly, before she had a chance to boast about it to her father, she transmigrated...

After transmigrating to ancient times, where mistresses were perfectly legal, Jiang Yao decided to become a laid-back, gentle lady. When she was seven, her mother died in childbirth, and her father married a princess. Jiang Yao, the legitimate eldest daughter of his first wife, became a thorn in her new stepmother's side. After nearly losing her life, her father said with a pained expression, "I know my daughter has suffered, but I'll make it up to you twice over in the future. Can you forgive your stepmother?"

Jiang Yao replied distractedly, "What do you think?"
