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.)

From the 21st century, she reincarnated into an ancient era unknown to history, where everything defies her common sense. In her previous life, she always wanted to travel around the world but she couldn't even go outside the house and could only look at the vast blue sky through her window with deep longing. Her curiosity and thirst for knowledge drove her until her last moment. Before dying, she has one last wish, to see the outside world. After reincarnating, her goal was to travel around the world. However, she unknowingly gets caught up in a myriad of conspiracies that push her to grow stronger and stronger.

She thought she was going to die. She did. But the next time she opened her eyes , she found out that she was living a whole new life, as a little girl who was going to enter a noble household as a maid. However, a true pearl can never hide its lustre. It was a new world, set in ancient China-like era. Despite being confined in the vicinity of her new masters' household, she strove to live, and perhaps find love. Little did she know, her current life was one that had been pre-ordained. Not by the gods or heavens, but by a promise made by someone that had followed her through countless lifetimes ago. ||Author's note|| Original story. It's best to start with this book (One Lifetime is Never Enough / OLiNE). BUT before proceeding beyond chapter 28, I suggest to read book 0 (Loving You For A Lifetime/ LYFAL).
