Everyone says Jiang Ruoxi is gentle, virtuous, and good at running a household. The emperor himself bestowed a plaque in her honor: “A Paragon of Gentle Virtue.”
She was trapped by that reputation.
Running the household, managing the family finances, serving her parents-in-law, overseeing the shops, and looking after the second and third branches of the family were all part of her daily routine.
When her husband’s childhood friend and cousin, Ye Wanqing, was widowed and came to seek refuge at their home, Jiang Ruoxi supported her and her son for five years.
The second branch of the family once warned her, “Her son really looks like the heir.”
Jiang Ruoxi paid it no mind. It wasn’t until she collapsed from overwork and fell gravely ill that her husband, Zhong Xingjian, came to her bedside to discuss his final request: to take Ye Wanqing as his second wife.
His reason was that she was good at bearing children.
It was like driving a knife into Jiang Ruoxi’s most painful wound. Seven years of toil and a harmonious marriage couldn’t compare to giving him a child.
The heroine coughed up a mouthful of black blood, and everything went dark.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back at the Dragon Boat Festival family banquet, where her husband was discussing his cousin coming to stay with them.
*
Zhong Xingjian thought his wife had changed without warning. She no longer managed the household or fussed over him, and at bedtime she even drove him out the door.
With a storm brewing, Zhong Xingjian questioned her coldly. “What are you planning, madam?”
All he got from Jiang Ruoxi was a bland reply: “I’m recuperating so I can bear children.”
Nothing wrong with that!
Happy ending
P.S. 1. The story is mainly about the husband pursuing his wife after marriage. He keeps pursuing her, and keeps pursuing her. There’s very little groveling, so read with caution if that’s not your thing.
2. This is a story about my beloved girl, so enjoy it without worry.
3. Enjoy the extra chapters as you like.

Jiang Tingxue is the eldest legitimate granddaughter of the Minister of Revenue. Born into a family of scholars, she was raised to be gentle and dignified.
By her parents’ arrangement, she married Pei Yunce, the young general of the Zhenyuan General’s residence.
Although the two families had different traditions and temperaments, the couple got along harmoniously after marriage and had a son and a daughter.
Jiang Tingxue thought her husband was simply taciturn and cold, until one day his female friend, Gu Yihe, came to visit. The two drank wine, chatted happily, and, carried away by their good mood, sparred with swords and played music together.
Pei Yunce patted Gu Yihe on the shoulder. “You are the one person in this life who understands me.”
Her mother-in-law repeatedly tried to persuade Jiang Tingxue to let Gu Yihe join the household, but Jiang Tingxue never agreed.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yihe found out and sneered, “Ignorant women of ancient times only know the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. The only kind of marriage I’ll accept is one man and one woman for life.”
After that, Pei Yunce grew increasingly cold toward Jiang Tingxue. She died miserable and bitter, her health ruined by pent-up resentment. After her death, Pei Yunce brought Gu Yihe into the household in a grand sedan chair, and they spent their days being affectionate together, while his own children were left alone and helpless, suffering endless abuse.
When Jiang Tingxue awoke, she had returned to the day her husband came home victorious and asked how they should repay Gu Yihe for saving his life.
Her mother-in-law tested the waters with a suggestion that they find Gu Yihe a good match. Mother and son sang the same tune, hoping to make Jiang Tingxue give in.
Jiang Tingxue heard them and curled her lips in a faint, cold smile. “Then let her move in.”

The introduction looks like a cold-faced underwear-washing article
The scumbag in the previous life said that he wanted to renew his relationship, but can he still do it in this life?
Not to mention, I admire the female supporting role even more. She will not say anything when she is reborn, but she will make a big deal, take revenge, and be ruthless and exciting. When the heroine is reborn, she will just say, hum, I will ignore you, I will not serve you, and then continue to engage in filial pranks and nonsense in the house 😂
Is it my father-in-law's son? Hey, the big house is too messy
The next volume opens with revenge essays "Don't Do... Palm Love" and "After the Husband Decides to Continue the Romance" Or "The three scumbag bosses will be reborn with me" please collect it~
After hearing the reasons, I can't forgive the scumbag even more. He is too self-righteous, always sacrificing the heroine, and refuses to let her go. If he hadn't been exposed, he would have thought that the heroine and his partner would serve him together. Anyway, he would not lose.
It has no logic and is forcibly whitewashed. No wonder the collection is so low. No one will read this kind of mentally retarded garbage. It is written purely to confuse readers and cause mental pollution. The logic is seriously illogical. The male protagonist who doesn't care about the female protagonist would beg the female protagonist to be reborn after her death 😂. I will just hurry up and get the funeral done and marry the next one [rolls eyes]
Wouldn't it be enough? If the scumbag had supported the heroine earlier, even saying a word or two would have been enough, but he didn't say anything, proving his past life. I have never cared about the heroine at all, I have never loved the heroine, I have not let the heroine know anything, I have not discussed with her, the heroine is about to die, I am not worried about her condition, but I listen to what the hell says, find a step-wife, and whitewash myself because the heroine said that my cousin is good, so I recommend her cousin, and I am convinced. If he is so careless, how can he do so well in the officialdom? The officialdom is much more complicated. To put it bluntly, he just didn't take the heroine seriously.
Forcibly whitewashing, the heroine has given so much, and the scumbag has not given anything at all. He just said that he does not understand love and has no intention. His emotional intelligence is really so low. How can he thrive in the officialdom? The officialdom is better understood than his wife?
It's too much. You don't consider the heroine at all. The child must be recorded in the name of the hero when it is entered into the family tree. Isn't this very disrespectful? Will the male protagonist agree to the divorce letter given by the female protagonist?
