After Being Exiled for Marrying a Mad Prince, I Became a Stepmother

Ruan Fei transmigrates into a world where a brutal man has his hand around her delicate neck. As her memories return, she learns that the original owner tried to poison her husband, then died after testing the poison herself, leaving her with a complete mess to clean up. Ruan Fei does everything she can to clear her name and shift the blame, hoping to survive under the rule of this banished, unhinged prince. Once she gets her bearings, she realizes to her dismay that after more than twenty years as an only child, she has transmigrated into the life of a married woman and become a mother to boot. She has to farm, cook, sew, and look after three adopted sons. She might as well resign herself to life as a countrywoman, despite being the heir to a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. Every few days she also has to deal with hopeless, troublesome admirers, and eventually even assassins show up. She’s had enough of this thrilling life. “Jun Yanting, I’ve cured your poison. Let me go!” “Ruan Fei, you won’t leave my side, not unless I’m dead!” the man says, holding her tight against him, eyes red. “If I stay with you, I’m afraid I’ll end up dying because of you one day!” “No! As long as I’m here, I won’t let anyone so much as hurt a hair on your head.” Ruan Fei doesn’t believe him, until one day the man takes blow after blow meant for her. Only then does she realize she can’t leave him.
