Reborn and Going Mad: I Refuse to Be the Matriarch of This Noble House!

[Transmigration + rebirth + the hero's desperate pursuit of his wife + business + going crazy] * Pei Zhaoxue, the leading chancellor of the Yan Dynasty, is as pure and flawless as jade, the very picture of an untouchable beauty. He was the subject Shen Yuan studied most closely before she transmigrated, and the man she did everything she could to marry afterward. Unfortunately, Pei Zhaoxue was cold both before and after their wedding. He followed every rule, kept himself restrained, and observed all propriety. He never once spoke up when his mother made things difficult for Shen Yuan. He let his childhood sweetheart, his cousin, come and go as she pleased, and allowed his adopted son to run riot. Even on the day she went into a difficult labor, she waited from dawn until dusk, waiting until her life ebbed away, but he never came. It seemed she had never found a place in his heart. * Given a chance to return to the beginning, Shen Yuan finally saw things clearly. She no longer wanted to keep running headlong into a wall, and she wasn't going to live such a stifled life again. In this life, she would live only for herself and those who cared about her! * She is accused of pushing her scheming cousin into an icy lake. Shen Yuan gives a cold laugh and kicks her straight back in: “Yes, I pushed you. I pushed you, you shameless homewrecker!” Her smiling, two-faced mother-in-law pressures her to agree to a concubine. Shen Yuan gladly agrees, then brings over a whole crowd of women: “If we're taking concubines, how can one household be enough? Here are 365 concubines. Go ahead and count them.” Her unruly adopted son doesn't want her as his mother. Shen Yuan takes out a dagger, wipes it on her sleeve, and smiles kindly: “What should we do, then? How about you go die right now? I don't particularly want to raise a little beast like you, either.” * Shen Yuan never turns back from her path to madness, and Pei Zhaoxue disappears from her eyes. Only when she takes her place as the foremost female merchant and hands him the divorce papers does the man finally panic, belatedly wondering what he did wrong.
