Jilted by Her Betrothed, She Marries a Marquis's Son While the Imperial Preceptor Watches the Show

The Imperial Preceptor has died of poverty in both of his lives. The moment he opens his eyes, he transmigrates again, this time into the newlywed wife of a marquis's household's illegitimate son. She has one house and eight hundred taels of silver. The dignified Imperial Preceptor weeps with joy: I can do this!

Although the wife of an illegitimate son is practically invisible in the marquis's household and must pay her respects every morning, the marquis's household is a vast field of gossip. The dignified Imperial Preceptor declares: I can do this!

The marquis's eldest branch inherits the title, while the second branch's matriarch devotes her life to fighting the eldest branch and looks down on illegitimate children.

The second branch's principal wife is proud all her life. The eldest master has a true love, as well as two favored illegitimate children, a son and a daughter.

The second branch's second wife and her husband treat each other with mutual respect, while the husband keeps a mistress outside the household.

The second branch's legitimate eldest daughter marries into a duke's household, whose eldest son-in-law has wives and concubines by the dozen.

The legitimate second daughter is hopelessly lovesick. She marries a poor scholar and returns to her family every day to mooch off them.

The second branch's eldest son marries an illegitimate princess and keeps both the second matriarch and the principal wife firmly beneath her thumb.

The sixth master of the illegitimate line, Qu Yuangui, hands the deed and silver to his new wife: I have made you suffer, my wife. I will surely make something of myself and let you hold your head high.

Xu Wan hurriedly pushes the deed and silver back in terror, screaming: Don't give them to me! I'm destined to be poor! You can manage the household, but you don't need to be too ambitious. A plain, peaceful life is the true blessing. The marquis's household is so huge, and there is so much gossip to enjoy. Isn't gossip delicious?

Qu Yuangui clenches his fist: If I apply myself, you can enjoy all the gossip in the capital.

Xu Wan: I can do this!
