Reborn as the Matriarch: I Leave My Husband and Children to Marry a Powerful Minister

The emperor granted their marriage, and everyone thought they would make a perfect couple. But on their wedding night, an urgent summons sent Fang Hongyuan back to the battlefield, where he disappeared without a trace.

Then her mother-in-law suddenly took it upon herself to place two children under Xin Shuyao’s care. When one boy died, everyone blamed Xin Shuyao, causing the other to resent her. One porcelain vase was all it took to disfigure her face.

The Marquis of Wuyuan household wanted her to manage the family affairs, but only so they could get their hands on her dowry. Once they had drained it, the whole family turned on her and cast her out.

Xin Shuyao didn’t learn the truth until she was dying. She had spent her life laboring for the marquis’s household, while her husband squandered her money on a carefree life and a mistress.

And the children she had raised through years of hardship had always regarded her as their mortal enemy. In the end, they coldly shut the last door on her life!

Reborn, Xin Shuyao reveals the truth behind one boy’s death from the start. Everyone panics, but she calmly asks for a divorce.

“I am the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo’s household. I will not share a husband with a courtesan. Either we divorce, or you die and become a widower!”

Once she has the divorce papers in hand, Xin Shuyao leaves the Marquis of Wuyuan’s household with her dowry, ready to travel the world. But the greatest scholar in the land, also the most powerful court official, unexpectedly skips morning court to follow right on her heels.

“Wife, are you still looking for a husband? I can marry into your family!”
