Note: This is a first novel by a new author, and it’s already gone off the rails, so you can skip it. If you’re interested, check out the author’s other two books instead! Sending love.
In her previous life, Shen Roujia, the aloof legitimate daughter of a general’s household, married beneath her station to a scumbag and met a terrible end. After being reborn, she started acting delicate and innocent to avoid the scumbag, protect the Shen family, and stay away from the royal family’s power struggles.
But later, the man before her told her she could stop pretending if she wanted to, because he would handle everything. He even said:
“My beloved Roujia, I take you as my wife, pledging that we will grow old together.
May we be of one heart and one mind, loving each other in everlasting harmony.
May we share a century of peace and happiness, and remain devoted to each other for all our lives.”
Well then, even if court politics are treacherous, I’ll face them with you. And I might as well get some revenge while I’m at it.
That was what Shen Roujia thought.
