The Marquis's Wife Is a Tea Art Expert

[Serialized next door: *Pearl in Her Heart*] Wen Yanling was reborn. In her previous life, her eldest daughter was married off to the brutal First Prince, while her youngest son, whom she had spoiled rotten, was an idle wastrel who fell from his horse and became disabled. The marquis's household fell into ruin, and the marquis despised her. All of the capital called her a bringer of bad luck, and she eventually died in despair.

The most profitable clothing shop in the capital belonged to his wife, as did the most popular cosmetics shop and the hardest-to-book restaurant. Luo Yu figured his wife must think his official rank was too low and that he wasn't working hard enough. So, after diligently earning three promotions in a row, he came home holding his newly issued court robes, hoping for praise. At last, Wen Yanling spared him a glance. "Move aside. I have accounts to check." Luo Yu: "...My lady, have you stopped loving me?" [Reader's Guide:] 1. This is a fictional setting with original worldbuilding. Please don't overanalyze it. 2.
