In her previous life, Sheng Sisi relied on her beauty and fought her way up out of the filth, gritting her teeth all the while.
When her biological father, the prime minister, sent someone to find her, she left without a second thought.
She had had enough of the hard life in the village. She didn't even look back at her childhood betrothed, Brother Er Niu, a pale, handsome young man with a bad leg who had always treated her wonderfully.
But once the truth came out, she learned her father had only wanted her to take someone else's place in the palace. After enduring endless torment in the prime minister's residence, she was run through the heart by her husband.
Reborn, Sheng Sisi saw the prime minister's household servant standing before her, picked up the shoulder pole at her side, and beat him out the door.
Last time, she had worked herself to the bone to reach the capital, only to die beneath a blade. This time, she would tend her little patch of land in peace.
There was nothing wrong with a loving husband, children, and a warm bed.
Sheng Sisi had planned to lie flat and ask for nothing more than enough to eat. She never expected the unremarkable, remote village to be a treasure trove!
And Brother Er Niu, who shared her bed every night, was going to take her to the palace to marry her!
Only when the phoenix crown settled firmly on her head did Sheng Sisi stare into the bronze mirror, close to tears. “Yu Wen Er Niu, how could you deceive me so badly!”
