The Second Wife Refuses to Lie Flat, Fighting at Her Way to Becoming In Everyone's Favorite Author: 咸鱼头子 Xian Yu Tou Zi [A beautiful, wealthy, and spoiled second wife vs. a rigid, taciturn, and unconventional powerful minister] [Both partners are virgins + an ancient version of arranged marriage leading to love + an old house on fire + personality and age gap] Jiang Yao, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family in Jinling, married the head of the Pei family in the capital as his second wife at the age of eighteen. A woman from a humble background marrying into a wealthy family, and being a second wife, was not favored by anyone; everyone was waiting to see her fail. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yao maintained her unrestrained personality even after marriage. I sleep until I naturally wake up every day; the custom of morning and evening self-reflection doesn't exist! Beautiful jewelry? She took it with a wave of her hand! Exquisite and precious fabrics? She wanted them all! The power to manage the household affairs? She'll take it if she wants! In short, Jiang Yao got what she wanted. As for dissatisfaction? Well, just keep it to yourself. At worst, we can just part ways and get a divorce. Who says that being a second wife means having to be subservient, weak, and repressed? Jiang Yao's arrival turned the Pei family, which had been stagnant for many years, into chaos. She had assumed that her entire family would have wanted to kick her out long ago. Unexpectedly, one day after an argument with her husband, Jiang Yao proposed a divorce. Immediately afterwards, her mother-in-law, sisters-in-law, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law all arrived, threw their bundles at her husband's feet, and said to her: You stay, he leaves! Jiang Yao: ? Pei Zheng: ? ? (The FL is a sassy and cool woman, which is rare for an ancient-era setting. Her interactions with the ML are sweet and funny.)

I, Pei Cijing, transmigrated into the body of the second young master of a marquis's mansion, and all I want to do is lie back and watch the show. Who would have thought that on the eve of my wedding, my elder brother, the young master, would end up sleeping with my fiancée! I was just watching the drama unfold, and the victim turned out to be me? Just when I thought I was about to become the laughingstock of the entire capital, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, who was supposed to become my sister-in-law, actually took the initiative to propose: "How about I marry you instead?" I remained outwardly calm, but inwardly I was overjoyed: This girl has good taste! But it wasn't until one day after our marriage that I realized something was wrong. My inner monologue was pounding: "My wife looks so beautiful today, I want to kiss her..." She suddenly turned her head, her eyes sparkling: "Granted." Can she hear my thoughts?! Now look what's happened! I've tasted all the gossip in the world, but she only tastes my stupidity. (Credit to the Original Yu Chun De Bei Nang)

The story takes place in ancient China. The day my elder sister was appointed Crown Princess, I volunteered to marry the sickly General Wei Shuhan. All of the capital laughed, saying I was picking up the trash my sister didn't want. On our wedding night, I smiled lightly at my coughing, blood-stained groom. "General, do you know you've been poisoned by three strange toxins?" When he gripped my throat, I spoke even more shocking words: "I wish to make a deal with you-wipe out my family for me, and I'll cure your poison and extend your life." By the flickering candlelight, his eyes turned crimson. "And if I refuse?" I brushed my hand across his chest. "Then the general will have no choice but to enter the underworld as a virgin." Later, when the poison flared up, he pressed me against the medicine vat, his burning breath brushing my ear. "The third poison... could it be a love curse?"

Note: The english and extended version. Veronica, the Duchess of Audovera, was renowned as the most breathtaking woman in the kingdom, but her beauty was matched only by her reputation for arrogance and indulgence. Her life had always been one of luxury and excess-until the day her husband, the Duke, left for war. It was then, amidst the emptiness of their grand estate, that something within her stirred. Memories of another life flooded her mind, revealing a shocking truth: she had reincarnated into the body of the villainess from a fantasy-romance novel she once read. The plot was clear, and her fate was sealed. Her husband, the Duke-the novel's male protagonist-would soon fall in love with the saintess he met during the war. Upon his return, he would demand a divorce, casting Veronica aside. But the story didn't stop there. Left to stew in her bitterness, the villainess would meet a tragic end at his hands. But this Veronica was different. Armed with knowledge of the story's events, she resolved to take a different path. She would play her role with grace, sign the divorce papers without a fight, and step out of the limelight. Peace, freedom, and a quiet life were her new goals. Three years passed. The war ended, and the Duke returned. Veronica, prepared for her fate, was ready with her pen poised over the divorce papers. Yet, to her growing confusion, the Duke didn't say a word about separation. His eyes, once cold and distant, now lingered on her with an intensity she didn't recognize. "Why hasn't he asked for a divorce?" she wondered, her perfectly laid plans beginning to crumble. As she grapples with her husband's inexplicable behavior, Veronica must navigate a new and unpredictable future. Can she successfully avoid the villainess's doomed path, or is she destined to play a different role altogether?

It was funny when I read other novels that portray people getting sucked out in a novel or an otome game. Until that happened to me. I wake up, groggy and feeling a bit heavy. My vision was yet to arrive when a sudden pain came from my stomach. And a child was born. From me. I don't know if I'll freak out and cry or just accept the fact that I died and was reborn. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Hey guys, oh and girls!!! Thanks for taking a chance to read my book!! You won't regret it, I promise! Anyways, all names and places or even events are pure FICTION and any similarities about people or events are just coincidences. My English is not that good, but you can still understand it so please bear with my grammatical errors and spellings. Thank you!!!!!

Being a second wife is rather like learning to perfect a set of aerial maneuvers. There are seriously complicated stunts involved: trapezing around the first wife, learning when to appear and disappear at exactly the right moments, tolerating your mother in law, enduring the concubines, and getting the husband in your bed. No one expects to be a second wife. No one does.

Falling into the fiery hell she created must've been the perfect way for her to die. The other woman would then become the heroine that saved the town's people from the mad queen that burnt half of the population down and the duke would become the hero that protected the heroine. They would then be wed and have little children. They would live happily in the new world that they would create after vanquishing the evil queen. They would then lead the people unto a prosperous era of peace. Just... Where?... Where did I go wrong? When I am reborn, will you please give me a simple life?
