How Dare You Dote on Your Concubine and Neglect Your Wife? I’ll Scatter Your Ashes!

[The Unequaled, Noble Eldest Princess × The Powerful, Corrupt Official Who Rules the Court: household battles + face-slapping + satisfying revenge + sweet romance + the whole family’s belated regret + an adopted son’s remorse + absolutely no forgiveness] In her previous life, Leng Lanzhi believed she had found a good man. She gave everything to love Shen Yizhi, raised his adopted son for him, and helped the Marquis of Pingnan’s household become the most prestigious family in the land. She thought that even if Shen Yizhi did not love her, he would feel at least a little affection for her in recognition of all she had done. She thought her adopted son would respect her and her parents-in-law would appreciate her efforts. But as she lay dying, Shen Yizhi brought in a woman who looked a little like her and said coldly, “She is the one I love most in this life. You are nothing but her lookalike, a stand-in and a perfect tool.” Her adopted son sneered, “You’re not my mother. Seeing you makes me sick!” Her mother-in-law rolled her eyes. “At last, she’s going to die. I’m the mother-in-law, yet I’ve had to watch my daughter-in-law’s every mood. What a curse!” Reborn into a new life, Leng Lanzhi’s eyes burned with madness. A lookalike? A pawn? No one in all the world is worthy of using this princess! You kept a mistress behind my back and had a child! You despised me! You hated me! And you still dared dream of stepping on me to climb to the top? Every last one of you can go repent in the underworld! Just as she was about to lose herself in bloodshed, a certain powerful official who ruled the court took her hand, his eyes full of tenderness. “Your hands should be used only for playing the zither, brewing tea, painting, and enjoying life. Leave everything else to me.”
