The story

After transmigrating from a late-night study session into the neglected matriarch of a marquis’ estate, she is determined to avoid her predecessor’s tragic fate. Faced with a biased mother-in-law, an absent husband, and a newly arrived pregnant concubine, she strategizes her way to stability—winning over the household, managing its affairs, and planning for the children’s future. Through careful maneuvering, she secures her position, helps the concubine remarry, and reconciles with her husband, now steadily pursuing her only goal: to live out this life peacefully to its natural end.
