Reborn on the Day My Husband Took a Second Wife

Chu Yanxin is the only daughter of the Chu family, the wealthiest merchant clan in Jiangnan.

When she came of age, the Jingwu Marquis's household came to ask for her hand in marriage, and her parents gave her half their fortune as a dowry.

Everyone said that for the daughter of a merchant to marry into a marquis's household was a blessing earned by generations of ancestors.

In her previous life, Chu Yanxin thought so too.

But it wasn't until her wedding day that she learned her husband was marrying into two branches of the family at once, with two bridal sedan chairs arriving at the same time.

And she was marrying into the main branch.

The heir of the main branch of the Jingwu Marquis's household had died in battle, leaving no children. The emperor had permitted his second younger brother to marry into both branches and provide an heir for his elder brother.

And she was the unlucky woman who married the dead heir.

In her previous life, she cried and made a scene, then desperately tried to get a divorce. But as a merchant's daughter, she was worthless in the eyes of the marquis's household.

Eventually, she resigned herself to her fate.

Her mother-in-law adopted her husband's second son as the heir to the main branch. Chu Yanxin raised the child and managed the household.

Though she never saw her husband again after their wedding ceremony, she became a stumbling block in his marriage and the spark that started their arguments. In the end, she died of illness before she was even twenty.

The dowry she brought, a fortune beyond measure, restored the marquis's household, which had been on the verge of bankruptcy, to its former glory.

In the end, all she got was: "The Chu woman had bad luck."

When she opened her eyes again,

Chu Yanxin was back on the day she sat in the bridal sedan chair.

If resigning herself to fate meant dying,

then let the people who deserved to die die.

Lu Jin is the legitimate second son of the Jingwu Marquis's household.

In his previous life, after his elder brother died in battle, he married into both branches and took Chu Yanxin as his wife, breaking his promise to Jiang Yuanyao that they would be together for life, just the two of them.

Fortunately, Chu Yanxin died young, and the marquis's household flourished under his management, eventually rising to become a prince's household.

But rumors persisted that his success was thanks to the wealth Chu Yanxin brought with her.

Later, he died in a rebellion.

When he opened his eyes, he was reborn.

He had returned to the day he married two wives into both branches of the family at once.

Lu Jin is not the male lead.

The former husband gets his ashes scattered.
