The Marquis’s Wife Strikes Back

Lu Qingran had no idea how it all happened, but she had a vague feeling that she had fallen into a vast conspiracy. Not long afterward, she discovered she was pregnant. Her in-laws called her shameless and secretly poisoned her. Fortunately, she was born with an exceptionally keen sense of smell and could identify poisons, which saved both her and her unborn child. She still had her birth family, and thought her parents would stand up for her. Instead, they married her younger sister to her husband. “For the sake of the Duke’s and Marquis’s families’ reputations, this is your only way out.” Her own mother tossed her a strip of white silk and forced her to hang herself. “Why should I?” I’ve always thought of you, but have any of you ever spared a thought for me? Who says death is the only path before her? She’ll carve out another way, break this trap, and win justice for herself!
