My Reborn Stepsister Switched Brides, and I Happily Accept My Handsome Husband

In her previous life, Song Qingli was a poor little soul. Her mother died young, her scoundrel of a father remarried, and her stepmother was cruel.

The fine match Song Qingli had arranged for herself was stolen by her stepsister, leaving her to settle for an impoverished old scholar who had no prospects and whose family could barely afford to eat.

Everyone thought her life would be miserable from then on. But Song Qingli proved them wrong. After marrying, she took charge of her awful in-laws through sheer willpower and became the one who called the shots in the family. She also used the jade bangle space her grandmother had left her to build a fortune through business, and her life flourished. Even her useless old scholar husband was sent back onto the imperial examination path: she paid handsomely for renowned tutors to teach him, and he passed the jinshi exam and became an official in the capital. She, too, became an official's wife.

When her stepsister heard about it, she refused to accept it. She went to the capital alone to seduce her brother-in-law, determined to enter his household as a concubine if that was what it took, and seize Song Qingli's position as the principal wife.

But in the end, she was outmatched and died in a struggle with the other concubines in the household.

Reborn, she decisively gave up competing for the match Song Qingli had originally secured and went straight after the official husband Song Qingli had in her previous life. She thought that if she married him early, she could follow him to the capital and become an official's wife, enjoying wealth and splendor.

When Song Qingli heard, she nearly laughed herself to death. Did her stepsister really think becoming an official's wife was so easy? In her previous life, Song Qingli had gone to countless lengths to get a handle on her awful in-laws and lead the entire family, bit by bit, toward a better life. For her stepsister to think that simply marrying well would make all her wishes come true was pure fantasy.

Since she had the chance to live another life, of course she wouldn't waste her effort battling the awful in-laws from her previous life. Her stepsister wanted to take them? Then she could have this "good life."

As for Song Qingli, with a second life ahead of her, an even better one was waiting.
