The Marquis's Concubine-Born Daughter-in-Law

In her previous life, Qin Yu worked herself to death trying to make money.

She thought that once a person died, everything would return to zero. But when she opened her eyes, she found herself in the Great Jing Dynasty, a place she'd never heard of. She was now the third young madam of the Weiyuan Marquis household. More precisely, she was the wife of the third son of the concubine-born second branch, making her a concubine-born member of a concubine-born branch.

She had two sons and two daughters, and her husband had yet to finish his studies for the scholar degree. Why? Because study materials were expensive, and he didn't even have a regular tutor.

They said the marquis household was wealthy, and it certainly was, with rooms full of gold and jade, fine clothes, and delicious food. How could it not be?

Unfortunately, little of that wealth reached the concubine-born second branch, let alone their branch within a branch.

Qin Yu had never been the passive sort. She wasn't about to sit around waiting for crumbs to fall from someone else's table.

They said a good life was something you made for yourself, so she decided to get to work making one.

With no capital, she'd start small. Handicrafts and writing popular stories were both skills she excelled at.

She'd planned to take things easy and make just enough to live comfortably. She didn't want to repeat her previous life and work herself to death.

Who knew that when gold shone, its power would be so great?

Before she knew it, Qin Yu had made herself a wealthy woman.

And that's not all. Have you heard of a First-Rank Lady of Honor? That's a title bestowed by the emperor when your husband and sons are exceptionally accomplished.

So you can't help but envy a happy life like hers.
