Reborn as the Marquis's Spare, I Refuse to Be His Concubine

The ancestral hall burned to the ground, consuming half her life. Qin Mingyuan died because of the Ningyuan Marquis household's schemes. Reborn in a single day, she returned to the day Bai Shi married into the Gu family with a wedding procession stretching ten miles. She had been groomed by the Qin family to become the marquis's second wife: her elder sister's shadow, and a pawn in her clan's game. In her previous life, she was trapped in the marquis's household, scheming at every turn, only to end up without even a body to bury. In this life, she saw through the hell beneath the household's splendor. She would be no one's substitute and no one's pawn. She would not enter that man-eating household. She would watch the old game with cold eyes and plan each step carefully, all to break free of fate and live a life of her own.
