Her Wicked Sister Steals Her Match? She Marries into the Duke’s Household Instead, Raises Children, and Brings Her Husband Good Fortune

Lu Yu'an and her legitimate younger sister, Lu Yuyan, were both betrothed at the same time. In her previous life, her sister chose the wealthy and powerful Duke's household, leaving her with no choice but to marry a poor scholar who owned nothing but the walls around him. Who could have known that the young duke already had two children? Lu Yuyan couldn't stand them, so she not only cut back on their expenses but also ordered the servants to bully them. Seeing how cruel she was, the young duke left to guard the frontier, and her sister was left a widow in all but name. By contrast, the poor scholar enjoyed a smooth rise through the ranks. After a few years of navigating the officialdom, he became the chancellor, and Lu Yu'an was granted an honorary title as his wife. Resentful of her, her sister stabbed her to death with a hairpin when they were alone. When Lu Yu'an opened her eyes again, she had returned to the time when the marriage arrangements were first being discussed. This time, her sister was quick to say she wanted to marry the scholar. Lu Yu'an smiled.
