Seeking a Better Match: I Won't Be the Marchioness of This Manor Anymore!

Xu Wanning married into the Chengyang Marquis Household twenty-five years ago, spending her entire fortune to support her husband until he became a successful candidate in the imperial examinations and her son until he became the top palace graduate. She thought her life was complete, but who could have guessed that her top-graduate son was the child of a scoundrel and his mistress, while her own son had long ago been driven out of the marquis household and reduced to a mound of yellow earth? She herself was also tormented to death! Reborn once more, Xu Wanning returned to her sixth year in the marquis household. Her fake son had caught smallpox and been disfigured? The scoundrel and his first love had fallen out and were tearing each other apart? Hiding her smile, Xu Wanning took the imperial decree and her son and escaped the mire, ready to eat well and live well. Who knew that Pei Heng, the chief eunuch she had inadvertently provoked, would stop her beneath a parasol tree? “Marry me, and I'll make sure you and your son want for nothing for the rest of your lives.” Xu Wanning looked at this powerful court official. He was infertile and she was barren, so why not join forces and make a life together? But after she married him, why did her son start looking more and more like Pei Heng? Xu Wanning held her heavily pregnant belly and gritted her teeth as she cursed, “A man's words are nothing but lies!”
