Burn My Dowry at the Start? The Marquis Manor’s Stepmother Takes the Kids Farming

Jiang Suisui, who worked herself to death in her previous life, transmigrates into the long-suffering main wife of the Yongning Marquis Manor.

Her husband is absent from home all year round, and her five-year-old stepson is a little demon king capable of tearing the roof off the house.

Right at the start, the little tyrant sets fire to her dowry. Instead of getting angry, Jiang Suisui laughs, grabs a knife, and tosses the brat onto a carriage bound for the countryside estate.

Her in-laws, hoping to grind down their grandson’s arrogance, cut off all her financial support, expecting the “mother and son” to cry and despair?

Dream on.

Arriving at the barren backwater hills, Jiang Suisui’s eyes light up—this is paradise!

“Want to eat? Pull weeds.”

“Want meat? Go feed the pigs.”

At first, the little demon king Gu Xuanning would rather die than submit.

Later, smelling the aroma of braised pork, he gulps shamelessly.

The idle young nobles of the capital come to laugh at him, only to end up shouldering hoes and refusing to leave, crying and begging to invest.

When the Yongning Marquis, Gu Yan—who guards the frontier—finally returns, he discovers his backyard has become the capital’s largest “organic vegetable supplier,” his son is a renowned pig-raising expert, and his supposedly miserable wife is lounging with her legs crossed, counting silver notes while directing a crowd of high officials to till the fields for her.

Gu Yan removes his armor, silently picks up a hoe, and asks:

“My lady… can we add an extra dish tonight?”
