A forced marriage could kill me, but I'll remain firmly in my position as the matriarch.

[Female protagonist rebirth + domestic power struggles + satisfying face-slapping story]

Jiang Shuwan and her younger sister Jiang Yao were both reborn.

In her previous life, she and Jiang Yao were both transmigrated women. She was a career woman who was incredibly wealthy, but she worked herself to death. In this life, she was determined to give up.

Jiang Yao was ambitious. While making a name for herself by copying poems, she also had a secret relationship with the young master of the Earl's mansion. After being separated from her lover, she actually married the heir of the Marquis of Wenyuan.

"The daughter of a mere fifth-rank official has transformed into the wife of the heir apparent!"

The world marveled at this, and Jiang Shuwan once thought that her younger sister was quite something. Then she saw that Jiang Yao was neither favored by the prince nor able to compete with his scheming cousin. Coupled with the torment from her mother-in-law, she was tortured to death within a few years.

Jiang Shuwan was still feeling sorry for the fact that they were from the same hometown, but when she opened her eyes again, she found that she had been reborn. Her younger sister and the young master had reconciled, and she was marrying into the Marquis's family.

The Marquis's mansion was notorious for being a den of wolves and tigers.

"You're trying to frame me! Go ahead and marry into the Earl's family if you want, but the mother-in-law is vicious, the young master has no ambition, he's always surrounded by women, concubines are everywhere, and illegitimate children are as common as dogs... As for the Marquis's family, I'm the king of the workplace, who's afraid of who..."

Thus, Jiang Yao watched helplessly as Jiang Shuwan battled her awful mother-in-law, rescued her wrongly married sister-in-law, gained control of the household, developed her business and became the richest woman, step by step transforming from a despised new bride into a universally praised wife of the heir, exuding grace and unparalleled beauty. Even the handsome and refined heir secretly fell for her, abandoning his scheming cousin...
