Her Scumbag Husband Dotes on His Concubine and Neglects His Wife, So the Marquess’s Lady Gives Up

She was the daughter of a merchant family, married to the eldest son of the Marquis of Xuanping's household. To prop up the marquis's household, which was little more than an empty shell, she exhausted herself managing its affairs until everything ran like clockwork. She thought everyone in the household appreciated all she had done. But her husband's family had never considered her one of their own. Her husband doted on his concubine and neglected his wife, her mother-in-law was overbearing, her younger brother-in-law was stubborn, and her younger sister-in-law was sly and sarcastic. The marquis's household showed her no loyalty or affection, so she gave up. Whether the household lived or died was none of her concern.

Just as she was doing everything she could to give up and leave the marquis's household, she accidentally caught the attention of the regent, the most powerful man in the court.
