After I Was Widowed, a Sickly Powerbroker Courted Me

In her previous life, Wei Zi was betrayed and killed by her husband and his parents.

In this life, Wei Zi is determined to live for herself: to study and learn to read, to do business and make money, and, along the way, to raise the unwanted son of her in-laws, Xiao Fengxian, into a fine young man. He will one day become the most cruel and arrogant treacherous minister in the imperial court.

Years later, Wei Zi reunites with her birth family and becomes the eldest daughter of a Duke's mansion, a woman her husband and in-laws can no longer hope to reach.

The noble ladies of the capital spread rumors that she is too old to find a husband.

But the powerful new court favorite bends down to brush dust from her shoes with his own hands, then proposes to her before a crowd of thousands. "Miss, would you marry me?"

He is the young man she raised with her own hands.

And the most precious thing in her heart.

Everyone says it's hardest for a woman to marry a second time. But that year, Wei Zi married again, wedding a young prince who had become a marquis and prime minister by the age of eighteen!
