I'm Just a Hypocrite (Matriarchal World)

Lu Qing is a villain in the book who failed to win the male lead’s younger brother’s hand in marriage. She is sinister and cunning, behaves outrageously, and bullies those weaker than her: a classic hypocrite. When the male lead’s family faces a cash-flow crisis and offends a newly appointed local official, Lu Qing seizes the opportunity to take over their shops and farmland. She forces his younger brother into marriage, then humiliates him and takes revenge. But the female lead investigates her, and Lu Qing’s family is ruined. When Lu Qing realizes she is the villain, she frowns. Since when was she that kind of person? It’s all made up. She is going to force Green Ling into marriage, but the match was arranged long ago. At his age, it’s only right that he marry her. His family is in trouble. If she doesn’t take those fields and shops, someone else will. She can save them all for Green Ling as his dowry. Otherwise, what would he have when he marries her? And if he marries her, aren’t those things his too? Green Ling is beautiful, like a flower. Wouldn’t marrying her be wonderful? She won’t mistreat him. Everything unfolds just as it did in the book. On their wedding night, Green Ling cries bitterly in bed. Three months later, his belly has grown round. He lies in a woman’s arms, reluctantly accepting her kisses. His chin has become sharper, and he no longer throws tantrums about seeking a divorce and leaving. His dark eyes are vacant, and his beautiful face is flushed. Even pregnant, he is breathtakingly beautiful, like a lotus rising from the water. Note: No transmigrate into a book or fantasy elements.
