Held in His Palm: A Sweet and Scheming Marriage

Xue Qingyin wakes inside a novel as the sickly, neglected eldest daughter whose own household won't spare her a brazier of charcoal in winter. She smiles, takes stock of everything she's been denied, and starts collecting — debts, allies, and one very dangerous husband whose court games are as ruthless as her own. A sweet, devoted marriage wrapped around sharp household and court intrigue: she schemes, he shields, and together they take the whole board. Complete in 100 chapters. Chinese edition; English translation in progress.
