[House Fighting + Power Stratagems + A Cool Story with a Strong Female Lead + Two Clean 1v1s]
Shen Qing followed her mother's dying words and married into Yangling Marquis' Mansion to become the mistress of the house. She abided by her duties and did not fight or compete. However, her husband brought his sweetheart into the mansion in a high-profile manner less than a year after the marriage. The ceremony was even more grand than that of her, the legal wife.
Shen Qing, who had always been obedient since she got married, suddenly realized: her mother was wrong. A woman's gentleness and kindness may not necessarily bring respect and understanding from her husband's family, but may also bring endless demands and unscrupulousness.
Since this is the case, there is naturally no need for her to be a gentle and virtuous mistress of the Marquis' Mansion.
If a concubine is spoiled and arrogant, and does not know the difference between high and low, then give her a few more slaps to let her know who is the master.
If the husband is two-faced and two-faced, then expose his true colors and make him no longer pretend to be a glamorous and bright man.
The mother-in-law is cold-hearted and only cares about money, so she should be cut off from money supply so that she can no longer maintain her airs as a noble lady.
As for Shen Qing? Of course, after she has completely cleaned up the whole family, she will take a million family fortune and marry Bai Yueguang in a grand manner!

Song Li was the legitimate daughter of the Loyal Marquis’s household. After her father and brother backed the wrong side in court, they were imprisoned and executed. She fell from a noble highborn lady to a lowly concubine used for revenge, and eventually died young from depression and despair.
When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to when she was thirteen. And kneeling in the courtyard at that moment was the lowly young boy who, in the future, would become a powerful minister—second only to the emperor.
So, she completely changed her former spoiled ways, flattering him in every possible manner, appearing pitiful and obedient. All she wanted was for Pei Jingheng, once he rose to power, to show mercy to the Song family.
To win a chance of survival for her father and brother, she died taking a sword for Pei Jingheng in front of everyone. She left cleanly, but drove the young minister mad with grief—his hair turned white overnight, and every night he suffered heart-wrenching pain and coughed up blood.
In countless midnight nightmares, Pei Jingheng woke up in cold sweat, tormented by regret. Why hadn’t he protected Song Li back then?
He only wanted to finish handling state affairs quickly so he could join her in death.
Until one day, during a secret investigation in Wangzhou, he unexpectedly saw the person he thought of day and night.
His so-called "good little sister" had faked her death—just to escape him.
Song Li, having changed her name and identity, thought she had escaped everything. But the next day, when she returned home, she was cornered in an alley by a white-haired man.
Their bodies pressed tightly together, the cold scent of pear blossoms surrounded them, unbearably intimate.
The girl’s breathing quickened slightly. When she saw clearly who it was, her voice carried a hint of anger:
“Are you insane?”
The veins in the man's hand tensed. His scorching breath fell beside her ear as he kissed her without hesitation:
“I went insane the day you left me.”

She jumped from being a concubine of Prince Su to becoming the new emperor's Concubine Jia, and accidentally entered the royal family.

On the first day after entering the palace, he held her in his arms and sat on the dragon throne. The concubines who tried to frame her were either put under house arrest or beaten to death. He was even willing to let her sit on the dragon sedan chair while he walked beside her.
What to do if she is favored and envied? His Majesty helps her to block all the palace fights.
What to do if her merchant family background is too low? His Majesty sent her brother to the army for training. If he won military merit, he would be directly awarded the title of nobility, and she would immediately become a noble lady.
What should he do when his ministers urged him to appoint a queen? His Majesty said that he had raised her and that only she could stand shoulder to shoulder with him, so he resolutely appointed her as queen.
