Get Down on Your Knees, Master! Your Wife Is Breaking Off Another Engagement

A gifted doctor from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners transmigrates and becomes the least favored daughter of the Left Chancellor’s household.

Her birth mother died young, her stepmother treats her harshly, and her older half-sister bullies her relentlessly. To top it all off, she has to eat and sleep with the servants.

There’s only one way forward: Yan Li has to meet force with force and fight fire with fire. She takes on her stepmother and knocks her half-sister down a peg, but somehow she just can’t shake off her inconvenient fiancé.

“Didn’t you say every part of my face made you sick to your stomach?”

He replies calmly, “Tastes change.”

“You said I have skin thicker than a city wall?”

Without changing expression, he says, “Actually, I was talking about myself. If you don’t believe me, why not measure it for yourself?”

“You’d rather marry a dog than me?”

At last, he loses his composure, pins Yan Li against the wall, and leans close. “I was blind to what a wonderful wife you’d make. Can you stop holding it against me?”

Yan Li smiles and narrows her eyes, then kicks him.

Sorry, she keeps a little notebook of everyone who’s crossed her. She always gets even!
