Rebirth As the Matriarch of a Noble Family

Li Ling, the heir of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, is a man of exceptional talent and courage, a true gentleman.

His beloved wife, Shen, felt stifled living with him. Five years into their marriage, she had been incredibly devoted to him, yet he showed her absolutely no warmth.

If it were just because he was cold-hearted, she would accept it.

But when the Xiongnu invaded, the Ninth Princess was forced to marry a Xiongnu chieftain. Li Ling, in a fit of rage, petitioned the emperor to lead the expedition for the sake of his cousin, the princess.

She finally understood why he treated her coldly.

She was so angry that she didn't want to continue the relationship with him.

The divorce papers have been drafted, and we are just waiting for Li Ling to return and sign them.

To her surprise, when she woke up, she found herself back on her wedding night with Li Ling...

---

Li Ling married a docile young wife who doted on him. In the first month of their marriage, she pampered him to the point of being completely at ease.

In the past few days, Li Ling noticed that his new bride was acting strangely.

She no longer helped him dress in the morning; she no longer served him food or soup at mealtimes; and at night, she would turn away as soon as he approached her.

The dignified and aloof Li Ling could no longer hold back.

He leaned closer: "Madam, are you feeling unwell?"

She just rolled her eyes at him.

Li Ling scratched his head: "Is Madam not quite used to life here since you first arrived?"

She lowered her head and remained silent.

Li Ling was so eager to know her that he had to keep a close eye on her every move in order to try and understand his wife's heart.

One day, while watching a polo match, he saw her cover her face and smile at a man on the field; another day, he saw her resting her chin on her hand, lost in thought as she read a talented scholar's poem; and once at a palace banquet, he even saw the Crown Prince smile slightly at her...

Li Ling's mind became more and more chaotic each day.
