Who Cares About Being the Matriarch? My Rebellious Husband Secured Me a Noble Rank!

Married into the Marquis of Ningyuan’s household for over ten years, Shen Tangning believed she had done nothing wrong managing the household, honoring her in-laws, fulfilling every duty expected of her.

It wasn’t until the cold and distant heir of the family began an illicit affair with her now-sister-in-law (her once illegitimate younger sister), and the two joined forces to drive her out, that Shen Tangning realized just how horribly wrong she had been.

Given a second chance, she returns to the very day her illegitimate sister swapped marriage partners with her. Shen Tangning sneers coldly and decides to roll with the mistake—this time, she marries the useless, good-for-nothing second son of the family instead.

On their wedding night, the so-called wastrel husband lifts her veil, takes one look at her, and is so shocked he stumbles and falls to his knees.

Tears stream down Shen Tangning’s face, her eyes red.

“I was meant to be the heir’s wife. Marrying you means my life is over.”

Chi Yan feels a sudden tremble in his heart and fumbles around, utterly at a loss.

…And from then on—

He stopped gambling and idling and devoted himself entirely to his wife.
