My Chancellor Father Humiliated Me, but the Powerful Minister Welcomed Me Home in a Grand Sedan

Everyone in the capital knew that the good-for-nothing illegitimate son of the Marquis's household was going to marry the Chancellor's daughter, who had been raised away from home and had a bad reputation. The crowd jeered, “A good-for-nothing and a jinx, a match made in heaven.” That night, Qin Tianmo, Cheng Baozhu's younger brother-in-law from her previous life, blocked her outside the Chancellor's residence. His gaze was no longer as deferential as it had been in her previous life. His calculating eyes were full of possessiveness. “Zhuzhu, everyone says we're made for each other. If you don't marry me, it'll be against the will of heaven.” Cheng Baozhu took two steps back. “If I marry you, may heaven strike me dead!” Having lived a second life, she knew the young man would eventually rise to the highest ranks and wield great influence at court. She simply wanted nothing more to do with the Marquis's household. On her wedding night, Cheng Baozhu listened to the thunder and lightning outside, looking guilty. Could the heavens really have taken her words to heart? Qin Tianmo smiled and drew her into his arms. “Don't be afraid, my dear. Even if heaven strikes us, I'll make sure it strikes me and not you.” The people of the capital soon noticed that ever since the good-for-nothing illegitimate son of the Marquis's household married the Chancellor's jinx of a daughter, his fortunes had taken off. He passed the imperial exams, entered government service, and everything went smoothly. Qin Tianmo looked down on the crowd. “Who says my wife is a jinx? She's a blessed star sent by heaven!”
