A Starlet Arrives at the Marquis's Estate

Ruan Mianshuang thought that even if she couldn’t become rich and powerful in this life, she could at least spend it with the man she loved. Who could have known that disaster would strike when she turned twenty? First, her childhood sweetheart and husband passed the palace examinations, then decided to marry a noblewoman instead and sent her divorce papers. Then the Marquis Cheng’en’s household claimed she was their legitimate eldest daughter and demanded that she return to her ancestral home. Only then did Ruan Mianshuang finally realize that if a woman wanted to master a man, she had to keep a firm grip on money and power. Her father was a womanizer, and her cousin, the heir to the marquisate, was hopeless, so she took his place as heir. Her uncle doted on his concubine, and her aunt staged a “civet cat for the prince” switch, so she turned the Duke’s household upside down. But how did she end up becoming a marchioness in the middle of all this infighting? And Prince Yong, why are you standing so close? * [From the hero’s perspective] First glance: A fairy descended to earth. Second glance: Beauty has undone me. I’m doomed. Third glance: My heart skipped a beat. One look, and I’ll remember her forever.
