The Marquis’s Wife

There are many kinds of women in a marquis’s household.

Some follow the rules and live honest, ordinary lives, only to be trapped without warning and die with grievances unresolved.

Some scheme and grasp for advancement, managing to rise from obscurity to prominence. They look radiant in public, but behind closed doors they devour people whole.

Others have hearts turned to ash and simply endure the days, spending their whole lives beside a lonely lamp and an ancient Buddha, forgotten by the world.

Bai Cang’s former life belonged to the first kind.

Her return was beyond her control, so this time she was determined to give it everything she had and claw her way out.

Because of work, I’ll probably be posting each day just a few minutes before midnight. If you’re following the story, I recommend reading it in the morning.
