My Husband Wants to Support Both His Wives? I'll Find Someone Better

[Household Intrigue, Put the Scum in Their Place, Second Male Lead Takes the Throne]

Fang Qianxue had been married for five years and had a son and a daughter. She had thought she and Lu Changqing would enjoy a happy marriage and grow old together, until one day Lu Changqing brought home a beauty who seemed untouched by worldly concerns. He said he wanted to marry her as well, to keep both branches of the family going, and take her as a wife on behalf of his late elder brother.

Only then did Fang Qianxue realize that she was nothing but a cannon-fodder supporting character in a story about a domineering forced marriage.

In the book, titled The Powerful Official's Young Uncle Takes Two Wives and Dotes on Her to the Bone, the male and female leads were her husband, Lu Changqing, and that frail young woman. After favoring his concubine and neglecting his wife, then murdering his children, Lu Changqing finally lived happily ever after with the girl.

Fang Qianxue was the male lead's disposable first wife. In the original story, she went mad and killed herself, while her two children had their bones dug out by the male lead to be used as medicinal ingredients in a nourishing soup for the female lead after her miscarriage.

After awakening to the truth, Fang Qianxue was shocked by the plot of the book.

She had no intention of dying or going mad. She was going to take her children and escape the pit of misery, then find herself a powerful patron.

It was said that the Prince of Beining had been wounded by a female assassin in his youth and was no longer capable of intimacy.

Xiao Mingzhe: The world is dangerous. You and your children will struggle to make a living alone. Why don't we pretend to be husband and wife and support each other?

Fang Qianxue: ?? Sure, why not.
