In her previous life, Shen Lingyu died a slow, miserable death.
Widowed while still young, she spent ten years suffering in an enemy country in her second sister-in-law's place. Only then did she discover that her newlywed husband had never died in battle and had long been carrying on an illicit affair with her second sister-in-law.
Overcome with resentment after learning the truth, Shen Lingyu coughed up blood and died.
Reborn, Shen Lingyu had every advantage.
This time, she would fight and scheme, make that scumbag husband and wicked woman pay, and stay away from men so she could live a beautiful life for herself.
But then the very official who used to mock her, saying she had no charm, came chasing after her.
"Shen Lingyu, isn't life lonely all by yourself? Why not take me along?"
Shen Lingyu: "...Weren't you the one who warned me not to set my sights on you?"
The man grinned. "I was playing hard to get."
Shen Lingyu breathed out softly. "I really couldn't tell."
The man stepped closer, his peach-blossom eyes tender and captivating. "I overdid it by accident. Shen Lingyu, there's a long road ahead. Let me spend the rest of your life with you."
This novel should not be reviewed negatively. The story is coherent, but it feels frustrating and unpleasant, and the twist is quite unexpected. The writing, storyline, and emotions are quite attractive, and the story is coherent and doesn't stray from the topic. Overall, it's still very good.
It is true that ancient people were cruel and merciless to women
