The Reborn Matriarch Refuses to Fall in Love, While the Playboy Pursues Her Obsessively

Everyone in the capital says Xia Kongyan is the perfect lady of the house. She serves her in-laws, takes concubines for her husband, and raises his children born to concubines. But Xia Kongyan’s story is quite different. She worked herself to the bone day and night, using the vast fortune her father left behind when he died in battle to prop up the marquis’s household, only to be repaid with her husband favoring his concubine and neglecting his wife. The day she died, the marquis’s household was in high spirits. He was holding a birthday banquet for his beloved concubine. Her body was thrown into a well in the back courtyard. She didn’t even get a cheap coffin. Given another life, she called off the wedding at once, handing the position of lady of the house to his beloved concubine. She watched coldly as their lives descended into chaos and they turned against each other. After avenging herself, she had hoped to spend the rest of her life carefree, but she accidentally got involved with a libertine. “You’ve slept with me and still think you can leave?” “Just you wait. I’m going to marry you properly, with the matchmakers and all the betrothal gifts!”
