The Powerful Housewife Chooses to Lie Flat

[Clever little schemer x genuinely gentle man] [Check out my historical stories, "Transmigrated as the Chancellor’s Daughter Who Was Angered to Death" and "After Failing to Lie Flat, I Became Everyone’s Favorite in the Eastern Han"] The eldest daughter of the Zhaoming Marquis household fights for her grandmother’s favor above and battles the daughters of several branches of the family below. Along the way, she helps her unambitious parents and brothers get ahead. Born into a noble family, she wants more than just a place to stand. She has her heart set on the highest branch in the Daming Palace. An arranged marriage shatters her dream of entering the palace. Fine, she’ll trade the Marquis household for a general’s residence and keep fighting! * But... isn’t this general’s household a little too simple? Parents-in-law: We hear you were great at managing the household back at the Marquis’s. Here, take the storeroom keys! Husband: Ahem, I am devoted to my studies and have never kept maids or taken concubines. Xue Qin at first: Really? I don’t believe you! Xue Qin later: I’ve been doing this for so long, how do you carry on a household battle again? [Reading guide] 1. Ensemble cast, with side couples 2.

A top-tier wealthy family, surrounded by luxury and indulgence. Unfortunately, the original owner had been angered to death by rumors that her fiancé had someone he loved, leaving behind a huge mess. Xie Zhizhou: ...That’s it? Looking at her beautiful yet pale face in the mirror, she thought of the original owner’s brief life: her birth mother died young, her father was distant, and an old servant had poisoned her mind. She had treated a bit of girlish affection as her whole life, then died of anger over someone she had never even met. Xie Zhizhou sighed. Silly girl, what does a man’s heart matter? The important thing is to live, and live well. But before she could take care of the engagement herself, her fiancé’s strikingly beautiful friend started trying to seduce her. *Check out my completed stories, "After Marrying the Powerful Official Who Sent Me to My Death" and "Voices on the Wall [A Women’s Roundup]" in the author’s collection.
