We're Getting Divorced Anyway, So Who's Going to Spoil You?

[Historical Romance + Household Intrigue + Reborn Face-Slapping + Chasing His Wife to the Crematorium]

The Pei and Ji families arranged a marriage after their elders became close friends. To escape the wedding, Pei Yunkai went missing after heading to the border. At fourteen, Ji Qingzhi married into the Marquis Zhongwu’s household to preserve the Ji family’s century-old reputation and bring good fortune to her new husband.

In her previous life, she spent three years as a widow, believing nothing would ever change. Then Pei Yunkai suddenly returned with the woman he loved, Chu Weiwei.

He and his beloved joined forces with his mother, Madam Jiang, to bleed the Ji family dry. They exploited Ji Qingzhi’s dowry to squeeze every last resource from her family. They even switched one child for another: while Ji Qingzhi lay unconscious after a difficult labor, they replaced her baby with Chu Weiwei’s. For twenty years, she poured her heart and soul into helping the Pei family rise to greatness with the Ji family’s resources, even willingly confining herself to a Buddhist shrine. She never imagined she was doing all this for someone else’s benefit. The Ji family was ruined, and she was hanged in the shrine.

After waking from that nightmare, Ji Qingzhi finally saw the truth. She refused to remain a Pei, carefully plotting her revenge. She toyed with Chu Weiwei, ruined Pei Yunkai’s reputation and future, and forced him to divorce her after the whole world turned against him.

But first Pei Yuncang interfered for reasons unknown, pressing her at every turn. Then the Idle Prince kept showing up to watch the show, repeatedly stumbling upon her plans.

Just as she was finally about to get her divorce, Pei Yunkai came to his senses and stubbornly refused to let her go.

Ji Qingzhi held her forehead. She wanted no one meddling in her life. All she wanted was to keep her generous dowry and enjoy life on her own.
