The Lady Is Wild, and She Teases the Chief Secretary Until He Sobs

The eldest Miss of the Zhu family is unloved by both her father and mother, and is forced to marry in place of someone else to a sickly chief minister.

Her scumbag father, wicked stepmother, and poisonous younger sister keep trying to turn everyone against her?

Pathetic! Why bother with household and palace intrigues or any other chaotic schemes? Let her teach them what it means to compete for every advantage!

As she throws herself into building her career, the man she's been neglecting wears the long-suffering look of a rejected husband.

Pei Xingjian: Why doesn't my wife love me? Am I not well-behaved? Not handsome enough? Not powerful enough?

Her: No, I'm just busy pursuing my grand ambitions.

Pei Xingjian: ???

Her: Fools repeat the same mistakes, workhorses add a little color to life, toss a big goose into an iron pot, and wise people stay out of love. I'm going to become a rich woman and help build a beautiful homeland!
