After My Divorce, I Became Richer Than Anyone; the Marquis Faints in the Fields

A powerful immortal cultivator wakes up as a young maid in the Marquis's household. The marquis favors his concubine and neglects his wife, even abusing her. The concubine throws her weight around over the madam. Xie Li says, “Relax. There's no face I can't slap.” She stands up for the madam, helps her divorce the marquis, and takes her two children with her. She builds a fortune with her cooking, earning enough in a month to match the Marquis's household's wealth of a hundred years. Even the chancellor begs Xie Li to make him a late-night snack! But that sickly scholar who keeps showing up for a meal is acting strange. Later, when the new emperor ascends the throne, her mended old clothes are visible beneath his imperial robes. “You said back then that you'd take care of me for the rest of my life.” The whole capital is in an uproar: the emperor is actually kneeling at Xie Li's gate, begging for food! The marquis wails in the fields, “That fortune should have belonged to my family!”
