Remarrying into a Brighter Future

The main story is complete.

Yun Chu was famous throughout the surrounding villages for her beauty and gentle nature. She married Lin Zhonglan, a renowned local scholar.

They were a perfect match, and everyone said Yun Chu was lucky.

But after Lin Zhonglan failed the imperial exams, he took to gambling and racked up huge debts.

To pay them off, he even forced Yun Chu to entertain a high-ranking official.

In the warm glow of the red gauze curtains, the man who leaned down and gripped her chin was none other than the newly prominent Marquis Yongyi.

The next day, the renowned Marquis Yongyi pressed a knife to Lin Zhonglan's throat. His voice was casual, but his eyes were sinister.

"Divorce her, or become a widower. Pick one."

Marquis Chen Sheng held immense power and stood at the pinnacle of the court. Handsome and outstanding, he had captured the hearts of countless noblewomen in the capital.

But he was famous for keeping women at arm's length, cold-hearted and aloof. No woman could get within a few steps of him.

Until one day, he brought a beautiful young woman back from the countryside and treasured her as if she were priceless.

Chen Sheng would never forget the young woman who had stayed by his side when he had nothing.

Since she had married someone else, he would simply take her back.

Yun Chu was abandoned by her birth parents as a child. More than anything in this life, she wanted a home of her own, a home where no one would drive her away or beat her.

In the end, she was not only cherished above all else, but became the undisputed mistress of the marquis's residence.

The merchant Qu family once saved the emperor's life, so a childhood betrothal was arranged. Their legitimate daughter, Qu Xiangwan, grew up with the title of crown princess hanging over her head.

But on the eve of her wedding, she gained a reputation for beating her stepmother and having terrible morals. The crown prince broke off the engagement and married her stepsister instead.

The Qu family thought Qu Xiangwan was an embarrassment, so they sent her off in a small sedan chair to marry the neglected Fifth Prince, who was stationed far away at the border.

Rumor had it that the Fifth Prince had made a name for himself at a young age and was a brave, battle-hardened warrior, but he looked like a demon and was bloodthirsty and brutal.

Everyone in the capital waited to see how many days the arrogant Qu Xiangwan would survive in the hands of Fifth Prince Wei Heng.

Having both heard the rumors about the other, they had the same first impression when they met: "Bad temper, but good-looking."

After the wedding, Qu Xiangwan carefully took care of everything in the household. She served her mother-in-law and treated the servants with courtesy, winning the affection of everyone in the residence.

So everyone felt sorry for her, thinking she had to suffer neglect because the Fifth Prince didn't love her.

Until someone caught the Fifth Prince, who was known for avoiding women, stopping Qu Xiangwan and demanding, "Aren't you my wife? Why don't you smile at me?"

Wei Heng had thought he'd married a spoiled, overbearing woman. Instead, she was a gentle beauty who smiled at everyone but him.

And why did everyone say she was neglecting him? Wasn't she the one who ran away as soon as she saw him?

Little Scene:

After the emperor died and the crown prince took the throne, the stepsister who had become empress made a special trip all the way to the border to mock Qu Xiangwan for her hard life under the sun and sand.

But instead, she walked right into a coup in progress.

"It must be hard for you to stay with me in the desert, dear wife. How do you feel about the imperial palace? I could conquer it and give it to you."

At first, Qu Xiangwan thought she'd been sent to the border to suffer. Only later did she realize she'd been sent there to enjoy the good life.
