Step by Step, the Phoenix Takes Flight

A prophetic nightmare showed Qin Li the tragic future awaiting her and her entire family. Her father and brothers died horrible deaths, the Marquis’s estate fell, and she herself died with hatred in her heart after trusting the wrong people. She woke with a start, just as storms gathered and destruction loomed. She cast off her meek demeanor and took it upon herself to shoulder the entire Dingbei Marquis’s household, protecting her loved ones and friends with an iron fist. When her scumbag fiancé came to bully her, she dumped him on the spot. When her hypocritical, vicious sisters pretended to be innocent little flowers, she exposed their deceit. When her father’s concubine tried to elope, she swiftly had her thrown in prison. When unscrupulous clan members tried to take advantage of the crisis, she promptly struck those scheming blood relations from the family register.

Qin Li was puzzled. “Ji Wuchuan, you should know that ours has always been a partnership, nothing more.” The man smiled serenely. “A Li, you should know that the best way to keep a partnership steady and unbroken is to become husband and wife.”
