Whoever Wants to Be the Marquis's Secret Mistress Can Have the Job, the Real Heiress Is Ready to Fight Back

[Devoted Couple] [Sweet Romance] [Household Intrigue] [Political and Palace Intrigue] [Real and Fake Heiresses] [Family's Darling]

In her previous life, Chu Nanxu was stripped of her heiress status and tricked into becoming a marquis's mistress. Kept like a caged bird, cut off from the world, she eventually ended up imprisoned.

She wasn't afraid of dying, but she never expected the strange poison to do more than kill her. Prince Qi, Yuchi Ji, a man she'd met only a few times, died alongside her after they exhausted themselves in the throes of passion. They met their tragic ends in the most shameful way imaginable.

Reborn, Chu Nanxu resolved to stay away from Yuchi Ji, Prince Qi, who would only bring trouble her way. She would reclaim her rightful place as the true daughter of the General's household and make everyone who had harmed her in her previous life suffer the consequences!

But Yuchi Ji pursued her relentlessly. "Xuxu, are you some kind of mountain spirit or monster? Why can't I get you out of my mind?"

Chu Nanxu: "Yuchi Ji, stay away from me!"

So much for Prince Qi being aloof, restrained, and as bright as the moon. He's really just a scheming villain with a sweet exterior!

Chu Nanxu thought that becoming the true heiress would let her enjoy a carefree life of eating and waiting to die. Who knew the inner courts of an aristocratic household would be such a nest of intrigue? Her three brothers were lambs to the slaughter in everyone else's eyes, her mother was a frail little rabbit, and her general father was a boorish, simple-minded ox. Their fates in her previous life had been so tragic that she had no choice but to worry herself sick over them at every turn. This family simply couldn't manage without her.

Fine. She would take on the villains, punish the scoundrels, and study medicine. This time, she was determined to reshape her life from the ground up.
