Four Years Without Sharing a Bed with His Second Wife, Then His Late Wife Returns and He Loves Her Again?

[Clear-eyed heroine + second male lead takes the win]

Shen Yan had been her husband’s second wife for four years when her late elder sister, the principal wife, came back from the dead.

Her husband said, “You only married into this family in your sister’s place. You should know your place and ask to become a concubine!”

Her mother-in-law said, “You’re just a daughter born to a concubine. You should be grateful you can be my son’s concubine.”

The child she had cared for over the past four years said, “A daughter of a concubine isn’t worthy of being my mother. Get out!”

Shen Yan took out the divorce papers.

The man sneered. “You’ve spent four years scheming to get ahead. How could you bear to give up the Hou residence’s wealth and status? Shen Yan, look in the mirror. Don’t try that playing hard to get trick.”

Shen Yan sighed. If they couldn’t part on good terms, then they could hardly blame her for showing no mercy.

She would expose the principal wife’s scandals, the Hou residence’s corruption, and her mother-in-law’s secret schemes, one by one.

Since they had no regard for her sincerity, she would take it all back, piece by piece.

But when a fire in a side courtyard of the Marquis of Ningbo’s residence lit up half the sky, Rong Qing went mad!

When they met again, the humble daughter of a concubine, once deemed unworthy of being a principal wife, had become the Regent’s consort.

Shen Yan laughed softly. “You’re in the presence of the Regent’s consort. Why aren’t you kneeling?”
