The Minister's Radiant Wife

Gu Jiaojiao, a mere merchant's daughter, marries into a marquis's household. But on their wedding day, her husband leaves her behind to travel and study. She spends two years alone in their empty chambers, only to lose her chastity on the eve of his return. She knows it was all her mother-in-law's doing, just to find a pretext to take over her immense fortune. But she never expected the man who took her chastity to be her husband's liege lord.
