My Lord Marquis, I Don't Know You

Ye Xiarou realized she'd had the rotten luck to transmigrate into the body of a vicious, short-lived supporting character. To save her own skin, she decided that running away was the best plan! So she fled with gold, silver, and jewelry in hand.

Little boy: "Mother, why does that man say he's my father? Didn't Father abandon us and go off to meet his maker?"

The marquis scowled. "When did I die? How come I don't know about it?"

Ye Xiarou forced an awkward smile. "You must have misheard, my lord. I told him you'd been promoted."

Meanwhile, she was already making plans to move away.
