Powdered Beauty at the Jade Terrace

[A reborn, ruthless woman who changes her fate vs. a reserved older marquis.] After becoming pregnant before marriage and suffering a miscarriage, Nian Haisu woke up after falling into water, just in time to narrowly escape being burned alive. In her previous life, the fire had disfigured her and turned her into a monster. A month later, her second sister, who was publicly known as an adopted daughter, had a lavish wedding and became the heir’s wife, while Nian Haisu was carried off in a humble sedan chair to become the heir’s lowly concubine. She ultimately died of starvation in a woodshed after a miserable life. As everyone sneered at her with scorn, she calmly declared, “I will not become Xie Jing’an’s concubine. In a month, someone will come to propose and marry me in grand style.” No one believed her. They thought she was making empty boasts and waited for her to be humiliated and handed a white silk sash to hang herself. But a month later, the reserved Marquis of Guangling, whom everyone assumed would never marry, arrived at the Minister’s residence with a hundred miles of red wedding finery to ask for the eldest daughter’s hand, despite her being pregnant before marriage. He wanted her as his marquis’s wife. But Xie Jing’an, who remembered his past life, went mad and rushed up to her. “Haisu, how can you marry my uncle? You’re mine!” “Xie Jing’an, dare to be so disrespectful and I’ll remind you: I’m your aunt!” She never expected that after marrying him, her place in the family would keep rising, until even the princes had to respectfully call her Imperial Aunt.
