After Three Years as a Widow, the Entire Marquis’s Household Begged Me to Forgive Them

Qian family's eldest daughter was suddenly told that she was Chu Xi, the Marquis Manor's true eldest daughter, switched at birth. But on the day she was returned to the manor, she was met with neither tearful embraces from her birth parents nor the belated wealth and luxury she had been denied for fifteen years. Instead, they forced her into a bridal sedan to marry the dying Duke of Zhenguo. For fifteen years, she had suffered poverty and hardship in the Qian family. Now, despite her noble status as the Marquis Manor's eldest daughter, she was shoved into a living hell. She became a widow on her wedding day, then was imprisoned by the Emperor inside the Duke's estate, where she survived on insects and tree bark for three years. When Chu Xi emerged from the Duke of Zhenguo's estate after three years of widowhood, she seemed like a different person. Yet in her birth parents' eyes, their seemingly obedient and sensible adopted daughter was still more deserving of sympathy, and more precious to them than their own flesh and blood. Even though her adoptive parents still wanted to treat her like a cash cow and exploit her without end, Chu Xi would no longer meekly accept her lot. She fought back, and even struck back. It was the depths of despair that made her reborn and forced her to unleash all her potential. When the childhood sweetheart who had once sworn eternal love could no longer protect her or make her happy, Chu Xi decisively let him go. With tears in her eyes, she turned away and willingly married someone else, only to find that they were a perfect match. With her husband's support, Chu Xi began a life of effortless success, starting with marriage and falling in love afterward! Now, the people who had once used and hurt her trembled and hardly dared to meet her gaze. The entire Marquis Manor was on its knees, begging for her forgiveness!
