Forced Into a Marriage Swap, I Rose from the Slums to a First-Rank Noblewoman

In her previous life, Wen Yan married into a marquis's household and spent over a decade supporting her mother-in-law in taking down the concubines and reclaiming control of the family. She also helped her husband pass the imperial examination, enter officialdom, and earn distinction, only to receive a cup of deadly poison in return. As she lay dying, her legitimate elder sister said, “Dear sister, thank you for building such a fine estate for me and the heir!” In this life, she and her elder sister are reborn at the same time. Her elder sister insists on switching their betrothals. She wants to stay with the heir for life, share a blissful marriage, and bask in their future glory. Of course Wen Yan is happy to oblige! She turns around and marries a poor scholar said to be short-lived. She befriends great scholars, wins the admiration of a master painter, builds a thriving business, and has the support of a highly respected old princess. Her elder sister is jealous? Her former husband regrets it? Now that she's reborn, she's done supporting other people! But... The husband who was supposed to die young is not only full of life, he's even made her the wife of a top scholar! Wen Yan: “I thought once my short-lived husband died, I'd be a widow, free to travel, eat, drink, and have fun wherever I wanted!” Her short-lived husband takes her hand with his muscular arm. “My dear, what scenery could be more fun than your husband?”
