The Jiang family has two daughters.
The elder is gentle and kind, while the younger is arrogant and vicious.
After both marry, the elder treats people kindly and manages her household well, and her husband cherishes her. The younger makes the whole household miserable, and her husband won't even set foot in her courtyard.
Jiang Luan is the younger daughter.
She accepts the wicked reputation the world has given her.
Now, after falling into an ice cellar and becoming seriously ill, she has just done another wicked thing: switched marriages with her elder sister.
"Your elder sister has always been so good to you. How can you be so ungrateful?"
"Breaking up a marriage is a sin!"
Jiang Luan looked up at them in disdain. "I never had much virtue to begin with."

In her previous life, when Jiang Luan discovered that her husband and elder sister were having an affair, she exposed them without hesitation. But they turned around and framed her. Not only did she end up with an infamous reputation, she became their stepping stone, and died with her eyes open.
Her soul wandered the world for three years. She personally witnessed her elder sister's husband, Xie Xuan, deal with the adulterous pair. He also burned paper money for her on the anniversary of her death. After that, he rose swiftly through the ranks and wielded immense power, to the point that even the emperor treated him with deference.
Reborn, she naturally had to latch onto a powerful ally like him as quickly as possible!
But Jiang Luan was keeping a secret.
In a secret chamber, her elder sister had told her that her husband was impotent. Out of a sense of decency, Jiang Luan had spared Xie Xuan's reputation and told no one. But whenever she saw him, she would shake her head with a sigh. What a shame to waste such a broad-shouldered, slim-waisted physique and handsome face.
After the marriage switch succeeded, Jiang Luan thought that in this life, all she wanted was peace and quiet. She would cling to the powerful minister's coattails and rise with him. If he couldn't perform, then so be it. At worst, she could divorce him after a couple of years.
On their wedding night, red curtains hung high and red candles filled the room.
Jiang Luan tidied herself up, lay down on the bed, and went to sleep. In front of the bed stood a tall man in red wedding robes, his bearing as elegant as jade. He looked at her for a moment, then said evenly, "It's our wedding night. Are you already sleepy, my lady?"
Jiang Luan: "..."
She instinctively glanced down there.
Later... The rumors... They were all just rumors...
