The Cold, Seductive Powerbroker and His Second Wife’s Many Pregnancies

After eight years of marriage, Ye Qingqing supported her husband by selling tofu and cared for her mother-in-law, wearing herself down and losing her looks in the process. When her husband topped the imperial examinations and became the top scholar, she thought their hardship had finally paid off. But the faithless man only wanted to marry a noble-born legitimate daughter and have Ye Qingqing lower herself to the status of a concubine. The thing was, Ye Qingqing was no longer the submissive wife who had once put up with everything. The original owner was already dead, and the transmigrated Ye Qingqing had no intention of letting the wicked enjoy an easy life. She won the position of co-wife for herself, then watched with cool detachment as the Rong couple fell out, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law clashed, and Rong Zishan’s career went nowhere. The Rong family’s fortunes declined by the day, and she could finally divorce in peace. But then everyone noticed that the pregnant Ye Qingqing was the very woman Lu Bonian, a man with power over the imperial court, held so carefully in his arms. Lu Bonian: I’m petty. Anyone who’s ever bullied my wife can forget about getting away with it.
