Synopsis of [Jade Pendant from Afar]
The Su family of Yunzhong Prefecture is a wealthy merchant clan in Later Liang. Though the family has dozens of descendants, only Su Nanzhi, the legitimate daughter, inherited the family business. She holds the lifeblood of Later Liang's finances in her hands.
The young men of Later Liang's noble families are scrambling to become live-in sons-in-law of the Su family.
But Su Nanzhi doesn't think much of any of them. "Why would I want them? I've got plenty of money, and I can buy power. If I want a vase standing in my home, shouldn't I pick the prettiest one?"
Before long, Su Nanzhi takes a husband into her family: a pale-faced scholar with no one to rely on.
His only virtue is his fine appearance, with cloud-bright eyes and an elegant bearing. He's exactly her type.
Su Nanzhi pays for his education and works tirelessly for years on his behalf, finally seeing him achieve success and become a powerful minister, second to none.
Then an imperial decree arrives. The Empress Dowager marries into the Su family, steals her husband, and takes her home.
People say mockingly, "The Su family was born without good fortune, and couldn't hold on to Chancellor Chen, that precious gem."
Su Nanzhi remains composed and looks down on them. "I raised that pearl in its shell with my money. If it dares to run, I'll spend more money and smash the shell to pieces."
◆
Chen Zhigao is cold-hearted beneath his mild-mannered facade. He feigns foolishness as he takes his place in the scorching furnace that is the office of Later Liang's chief minister.
He kills the imperial in-laws and executes the emperor's uncle, carving out a path to brightness despite every obstacle.
Just as things are finally going his way, his luck turns. The young, widowed Empress Dowager takes a fancy to him.
With no way to explain himself, he kneels stiffly in the bedroom and tells his wife, "Beat me or scold me as you please, but don't divorce me!"
Su Nanzhi laughs scornfully. "Divorce? You're a live-in son-in-law. You can only be sent away. What divorce are you talking about?"
Later, Chen Zhigao travels a thousand miles to bring back the princess who was robbed of the throne by the old emperor.
On the day the city falls, the young emperor and his mother are reduced to prisoners.
Chancellor Chen dutifully holds an umbrella for his wife as they visit the prisoners' cart through the drizzle.
Su Nanzhi's face is as lovely as a peach blossom, a vivid autumn begonia tucked by her temple. She rests a delicate hand on the bars of the cart and smiles at the two miserable captives.
She says softly, "No one can take what's mine. Not money, and not my husband."

Chen Zhigao. . . It's not that it sounds bad. . . It always reminds me of Chen Zhipeng, but I can't think of the second beauty, hahaha
Sorry, but this name is so funny, hahahaha
Push this article down: "Rebirth on the eve of breaking up with her husband" ◎ In her previous life, Wen Yue listened to the bewitchment of her mother and cousin, and was obsessed with thinking about her cousin going to high school as soon as possible and marrying her as an official wife in a big sedan chair. For this reason, she did not hesitate to serve as an outhouse for Xie Zhiyun, coaxing Xie Zhiyun to send piles of gold and jade to her house, but she secretly donated all the money she had obtained through cheating to her cousin. I never thought that my cousin is a gentleman in front of others and a wolf in others. It wasn't until Wen Yue was carried into the yard on a small sedan chair that she realized that taking a wife had turned into a concubine. Even the identity of this concubine was just to extort Xie Zhiyun's last sum of money. At the end of the day, thirty taels of gambling debt sold her to a brothel. Wen Yue did not want to be humiliated, so she jumped from a high building and ended her miserable life. Opening her eyes again, Wen Yue returned to the night before her breakup with Xie Zhiyun. Xie Zhiyun's eyes were sinister. He stood in front of the bed, blocking all the light, and asked her through gritted teeth: "Are you going to be with him until death?" ◎ Xie Zhiyun is reborn. Waking up from that nightmare, there was a noise in his ears. He rubbed his brows and opened his eyes. It was the night before the heartless kid was holding up the scissors and wanted to break up with him. Thinking of how cruel she was in her previous life, she would rather die to escape from him. Xie Zhiyun's eyes were full of anger, and for the first time in his life, he said a mean word in front of her: "If you want it, it's all gone. Don't take another breath, it will dirty my place!" He stood up angrily and walked to the door without giving up. He turned around and asked her one last time: "Are you going to be with him until death?" The next moment. The woman actually looked at him crying as if she was turned on her head, and for the first time she hugged his neck and took a bite out of his face like a vicious bite. Xie Zhiyun: "!!!???"
Chen: I want to eat soft rice! I love to eat soft rice!
Last chapter, go to school :)
It's just Cui Hao's mother who was giving the medicine together. So why? I'm anxious.
So Zhizhi is not Su's daughter? Or is it that Zhizhi's mother liked her classmate, but married Su for various reasons? Zhizhi is Su's daughter, and the male protagonist is taken care of by her classmate? So my handwriting looks like my classmates
The first chapter is full of information. Thank you for curing my problem of reading ten lines at a glance.
Hahaha, drama couple
My heroine's friend only treats the male protagonist as a toy. If the men and women were swapped, and the friends around him looked down on his wife, but the male protagonist was indifferent, the male protagonist would be useless long ago.
