Winning the Matriarch's Hand Is No Easy Task: The Cold, Powerful Official Wants to Marry Into Her Family

In her previous life, Ruan Shuyi thought all she had to do was be a proper noblewoman who never left her home. She never imagined that her husband and his lover would join forces to frame her and bring about her death, all for the Ruan family fortune. Reborn, she divorced her husband and built her own business, determined to strengthen the Ruan family and become the unshakable matriarch of a noble house. She thought her final fate in this life would be to remain alone, but the most powerful minister in the Dongyuan Dynasty clung to her and refused to let go. “Our Ruan family only takes in sons-in-law. We never marry off our daughters. Your Highness should give up.” “How could I give up? Shuyi never asked me, so how would she know I’m unwilling?” “Are you asking for my hand, Your Highness?” “I’m asking you to marry me, Shuyi.”
