REBIRTH AS THE MATRIARCH OF A NOBLE FAMILY

 Novel Summary


Li Ling, the heir to the Zhenguo Duke Manor, was a man of exceptional bravery and talent, a true gentleman.


Yet, his delicate wife, Lady Shen, found life with him stifling. After five years of marriage, during which she had been endlessly devoted and compliant, he had not shown her a single trace of warmth.


If it were simply because he had a cold personality, she would have accepted it.


But when the Xiongnu invaded, and the Ninth Princess was forced into a political marriage, Li Ling "flared up in wrath for a beauty." For the sake of his cousin, the Princess, he requested an imperial decree to lead the expedition.


She finally understood the reason for his coldness.


She was so furious she no longer wanted to be with him.

The divorce agreement was already drafted,waiting only for Li Ling to return and sign it.


Who could have known that after a single night's sleep, she would wake up to find herself back at the beginning of her wedding night with Li Ling...


---


Li Ling had married a docile young wife who was completely devoted to him. For the first month of their marriage, she attended to his every need, allowing him to live in complete comfort.


But recently, Li Ling began to notice that his new bride was acting strangely.


She no longer helped him dress in the mornings. During meals, she no longer served him dishes or filled his bowl with soup. At night, the moment he drew near, she would turn her back to him.


The dignified and stern Li Ling could no longer restrain himself.


He leaned in and asked, "My Lady, are you feeling unwell?"

She responded with nothing but a glare.


Li Ling scratched his head. "Has my Lady not yet grown accustomed to the manor since her arrival?"


Again, she lowered her head and said nothing.

Anxious and restless, Li Ling found himself compelled to watch her every move closely, hoping to decipher his wife's heart.


One day, at a polo match, he saw her cover a smile while looking at a certain man on the field. Another day, he saw her, cheek propped on her hand, staring dreamily at the poetry of a certain scholar. And then, during a palace banquet, he even saw the Crown Prince give her a slight, knowing smile...


Li Ling's heart grew more and more troubled with each passing day.
