In her previous life, Meng Yunyi was a concubine-born daughter with ambitions as high as the sky. Relying on her lucky koi constitution, she refused to marry in place of her close friend to the eldest son of the Rong family, who was only somewhat wealthy, somewhat handsome, and knew a little about feng shui.
She disliked Rong Shu, who was always going out to earn money through feng shui readings. She also disliked how his good looks drew women from every street and alley to gather outside the residence.
So on their wedding night, she moved into the most remote courtyard in the Rong residence.
She let her mother-in-law take several concubines for him, and let those concubines come to her with their trivial remarks.
Meng Yunyi cared about none of it. She simply spent every day longing for the cousin from her maternal family who was still waiting for her.
The day Meng Yunyi died, she saw with her own eyes the cousin she loved fooling around with her close friend. At last, she also saw her maternal family's true colors!
All these years, they had lived carefree lives off the Rong family's wealth, yet still wanted to help the royal family seize all the Rong estate's property for the imperial treasury. Unfortunately, she was already dead, her soul gone. For the first time, she felt that her lucky koi constitution was no help at all.
Just as she was regretting it, Rong Shu charged into the Meng residence with a sword. She had never seen him look like this before. His face was grim, and tears seemed to glimmer in his eyes.
With a flick of his sword, he pinned the person who had plotted everything to the plaque above the Meng residence's gate.
When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the moment she was being married off in someone else's place, already seated in the bridal sedan. A grand wedding procession stretched for ten miles, and when it arrived at the Meng residence to fetch the bride, a long line still waited outside the city of Lingzhou.
After the wedding ceremony, Rong Shu was about to have a servant take her to the remote courtyard, but Meng Yunyi stopped him outright.
“You want to kick me out of your courtyard on our wedding night? Do you look down on me?”
Rong Shu froze for a moment, then raised a hand and began calculating on his fingers. “When you signed the marriage contract, you said yourself you wanted to live in that courtyard.”
“But I just made a calculation. You and that room are incompatible. It will bring a bloody disaster.”
Meng Yunyi: “...” This little charlatan's predictions are pretty accurate.
“Then from now on, I'll share a room with you.”
