[Master and servant both reborn and switch marriages | Love grows over time | Sickly groom married to bring him good fortune | Timid heroine who sets fires and kills people]
When Yu Baozhu heard that Madam wanted her to take Yu Jinhe's place and marry the sickly young master of the Marquis's household, she knew that both she and her mistress had been reborn.
In her previous life, she married a poor scholar who was lodging at the Yu residence, while her mistress married into the Loyal and Brave Marquis's household as the heir's wife.
A noble young lady with the heir, and a maid with a poor scholar: originally, each had a match befitting her station.
Who could have guessed that the poor scholar would later place first in all three imperial examinations and rise to high office, earning her the title of Lady by Imperial Decree?
After marrying into the marquis's household, her mistress discovered that they had tricked her into a marriage to bring good fortune to a sick man. Her stepmother framed her, her half-brother coveted her, and in the end she was reduced to wandering the streets before stabbing herself to death.
When Yu Baozhu opened her eyes again, she discovered that her mistress had set her sights on the husband she'd had in her previous life and wanted her to take her place in the marquis's household.
Fine. Marriage is hard work either way. Rich families have their troubles, and poor families do too.
A woman has every right to pursue wealth, and all she wanted was money and status.
As for that "husband" who was impossible to improve, her mistress could have him if she wanted.
Wait a second, how come her husband has even more schemes than she does...?
