I Thrived After Becoming a Discarded Marquis's Wife

Yin Yunling, the heir's wife at the Yuyang Marquis's residence, was in a difficult position.

On their wedding day, the heir left for the frontier without even lifting her veil.

Her in-laws looked down on her for being a merchant's daughter. She desperately used her dowry to support the marquis's household, but never received a single kind word from them.

She always thought things would get better once her husband came home.

Unfortunately, when he did return, he brought a pregnant woman with him and said he wanted to elevate her to the status of co-wife. In despair, Yunling swallowed gold to end her life.

That's when Yunling transmigrated.

The first thing she did after opening her eyes was look over the original owner's dowry list: shops on two streets in the capital, three hundred mu of farmland south of the city, a hot spring estate, four merchant ships...

How could a lovely young woman with so much money have been so desperate?

She told her heartless husband she was happy to step aside for his new love. Then she took the divorce papers and all her dowry and left the marquis's residence to lie flat.

Along the way, she also picked up a handsome, refined beggar boy and took him in.

The boy had no money, a foul temper, and was always asking her for cash. His one redeeming quality was his excellent health.

Oh well, she would keep him around.

After all, he couldn't spend money as fast as Yunling could earn it.

Then, on a bright spring day, two hundred brocade-clad guards knocked on her door.

"By order of His Highness the Crown Prince, we respectfully request that the Crown Princess return to the Eastern Palace."

It turned out the beggar boy was the Seventh Prince, who had been demoted to commoner three years ago.

Yunling sighed and reluctantly gave up her hundred-mu estate, moving into the Eastern Palace.
