The Return of the Noble Abandoned Consort Novel

Qiao Wei finds herself inexplicably transported through history, a bizarre transmigration leaving her the mother of two young children. Faced with their innocent gazes, she accepts her new reality. Her goal is to raise the children and achieve prosperity, adopting a tit-for-tat approach: she'll ignore those who mean her no harm, reciprocate respect, and firmly punish troublemakers. Despite being an abandoned woman, Qiao Wei is determined to build a beautiful life. Her world is disrupted when a veiled woman, claiming to be her aunt, appears. The aunt expresses concern over Qiao Wei's wealth and urges her to return home, revealing she has been searching for her. Qiao Wei, however, sees through the facade, accusing the aunt of coveting her money rather than caring for her children. The children, witnessing this, point out that the woman's companion claims to be their father. Qiao Wei playfully challenges the man to prove his paternity. The children present a "Joe's Family Rules" booklet, stating that insulting an underage girl warrants palace punishment. As Qiao Wei finishes speaking, the man confronts her, his touch and smile suggesting a past intimate encounter.
