931 ChFavoring the Mistress and Swallowing the Dowry? After Rebirth, I Change Marriages to Wed a Powerful Minister
宠外室吞嫁妆？重生后我换婚嫁权臣
[Manor scheming rebirth + sisters swapping marriages + native woman vs. time-traveling woman + scum revenge] Xie Zhaozhao, the eldest daughter of an illustrious family, is gentle, dignified, and radiant as morning clouds, known as the "Avalokitesvara Face."
She marries heir Gu Chengyan of Pingyang Marquisate to repay a kindness. On their wedding night, the heir kneels with a thud, red-eyed, saying: "I was injured in my youth... If you regret this, you may divorce me!"
Three years later, the man brings home twin children, affectionately clasping her hand: "They shall be your true children henceforth. I absolutely won't take concubines."
Later, the man is ennobled as Duke Yi, standing second only to the emperor. He welcomes his mistress with grand ceremony, securing her a first-rank noble title. The mistress sneers at Xie Zhaozhao, pinching her chin: "So what if you're the empire's foremost noblewoman? The unloved one is the true home-wrecker!"
The adopted son she raised for a decade coldly states: "She is my real mother. You're just a thief occupying her rightful place."
Xie Zhaozhao spits blood: If your love is so strong, why marry and humiliate me? If you're so noble, why exhaust my dowry?
... Upon rebirth on her wedding consultation day, Gu Chengyan declares: "I adore the eldest miss." The living Buddha warns: "This match is inauspicious!" Meanwhile, the time-traveling mistress finds her plagiarized ancient poetry already published, her commercial empire preempted, and her son's education stymied.
Ex-husband: "Auntie, leave us some livelihood!" Gu Shaoyu: "Begone! Don't disturb my Zhaozhao!"
