He Demotes His Wife to a Concubine and Expects Her to Endure It? She Turns to the Regent

[Reborn Woman vs. Transmigrated Woman + Wife Demoted to Concubine + Husband Begs Her to Return + No Reconciliation After the Breakup + Political Intrigue]

In her previous life, Lin Ruotang used her dowry to run businesses and support the marquis's household, rebuild the estate, and help Sheng Yan enter officialdom, turning him into one of the capital's rising nobles!

Yet he despised her for being a lowborn daughter of a concubine. While she was pregnant with their first child, he coaxed her into drinking a potion that would make her infertile. After she miscarried, she could never conceive again. Using this as an excuse, he brought Lin Ruyue into the household as his wife and demoted Lin Ruotang to concubine. Worse, he accused her of having an affair with his younger brother and had her drowned in a pond in the dead of winter.

Reborn, Lin Ruotang decided to plan carefully and live for herself!

Demote her from wife to concubine? She would divorce him!

Use a pregnancy to enter the household and compete for his favor? She would promote a maid to his bed first and have her bear his eldest son by a concubine!

And the Lin family, who fancied themselves the legitimate main branch, had been living off her and using her money to handle everything. Then she would make them pay it all back!

Sheng Yan had never imagined that the meek Lin Ruotang could grow claws.

He was only demoting her from wife to concubine, yet she immediately demanded a divorce!

Did she think that just because she had filled the capital with her businesses, she could stand up to him?

She was a lowborn daughter of a concubine. Without the marquis's household to rely on, how could she sustain such a vast enterprise?

He would wait for her to come begging!

The jade-faced King of Hell, the dread of ghosts and men alike: Xie Mo, chief of the Inspectorate.

Everyone in the capital knew that offending him was more terrifying than offending the King of Hell.

Yet for the madam of the Sheng family, he granted every request and fulfilled every promise.
